Who are the main cast members of Power (TV series)?

The four central actors anchor every season. Their characters drive the turf war between New York nightlife and the drug trade.

Who plays Ghost?

Omari Hardwick portrays James “Ghost” St. Patrick, a nightclub owner hiding a past as a drug kingpin. Hardwick appears in all 63 episodes across six seasons.

Who plays Tommy Egan?

Joseph Sikora plays Ghost’s volatile best friend and business partner Tommy Egan. Sikora is a fixture from episode one through the finale.

Who plays Tasha St. Patrick?

Naturi Naughton takes on the role of Tasha St. Patrick, Ghost’s wife and later adversary. She remains a main cast member for the entire run.

Who plays Angela Valdes?

Lela Loren plays Angela Valdes, a federal prosecutor and Ghost’s former flame. Loren is listed as main cast in seasons 1–5 and does not appear in season 6.

The trade-off

Hardwick’s Ghost is a magnet for the audience, but keeping undercover lives across six seasons means he can never fully escape the consequences of his double identity — a tension that made the series addictive.

The pattern here: each main actor’s casting was stable across the run, but the characters they played kept shifting moral ground.

Who is in the cast of Power for every season?

Below is a season-by-season breakdown of main and prominent recurring actors. Note that the original series ended in 2020; after 2022 queries often confuse it with spin-off casts.

Power season 1 cast

  • Omari Hardwick as Ghost
  • Lela Loren as Angela Valdes
  • Naturi Naughton as Tasha St. Patrick
  • Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan
  • Andy Bean as Greg Knox
  • Adam Huss as Josh Kantos
  • Luis Antonio Ramos as Paz
  • Kathrine Narducci as Frankie Lovarro
  • Greg Serano as Juan Julio Medina
  • Sinqua Walls as Carter
  • Lucy Walters as Holly
  • Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Kanan Stark (recurring, becomes main from season 3)

Power season 2 cast

  • All season 1 mains return, with Shane Johnson (Cooper Saxe) promoted to main
  • Rotimi Akinosho as Andre Coleman
  • David Fumero as Mike Sandoval
  • Recurring: La La Anthony as LaKeisha Grant, Jerry Ferrara as Joe Proctor, Victor Garber as Simon Stern

Power season 3 cast

  • Main cast from season 2 retained; Curtis Jackson moves to main
  • Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick (main)
  • Jerry Ferrara as Joe Proctor (promoted to main)
  • Callan Mulvey as Milan (recurring antagonist)

Power season 4 cast

  • Lela Loren remains main; new additions include ?
  • Adam Huss leaves main cast
  • Kanan Stark becomes central antagonist

Power season 5 cast

  • Main lineup remains stable; Angela Valdes storyline intensifies
  • FBI undercover arc brings new recurring players

Power season 6 cast

  • Lela Loren absent; Ghost and Tommy face final confrontation
  • Shane Johnson, Jerry Ferrara, Naturi Naughton, and Omari Hardwick all present
Bottom line: The core four (Hardwick, Loren, Naughton, Sikora) define the series. For viewers catching up: Ghost’s arc is a slow-burn tragedy, and Tommy’s loyalty proves both his strength and his undoing.

What this means: the core four are present across seasons 1–6, but the supporting cast changes create the show’s shifting power dynamics.

Who played Lobos in Power?

Lobos character description

Lobos is a high-ranking Mexican drug cartel leader who supplies Ghost and Tommy with product. He appears in season 2 and 3 as a supporting antagonist.

Actor portrayal and seasons

Enrique Murciano plays Lobos. According to Wikipedia, Murciano is credited in both seasons and delivers a menacing performance as the cartel enforcer.

Lobos role in the story

Lobos becomes a major obstacle when Ghost tries to go legitimate. His demise in season 3 clears the way for Milan and later power struggles.

Note: A common mix-up: Lobos appears only in seasons 2–3, not season 1; the cartel role is sometimes confused with Milan, who appears later.

Series specifications

Six years, one network, and a universe of characters. Here’s the blueprint.

Title Power
Creator Courtney A. Kemp
Network Starz
Premiere June 7, 2014
Finale February 9, 2020
Production company Lionsgate Television

The specs confirm a six-year commitment, which made the cast’s continuity unusual for a Starz drama.


Timeline of the original series

  • — Season 1 premieres with core cast
  • — Season 2 adds recurring characters and introduces Lobos
  • — Season 3 features major cast departures and new allies
  • — Season 4 focuses on Ghost’s identity crisis
  • — Season 5 introduces FBI agent Angela Valdes as a main plot driver
  • — Season 6 concludes the original series; spin-offs announced

Quotes from the creators and cast

“We knew Omari was Ghost from the moment he walked in. He had that duality — the charm and the menace.”

Courtney A. Kemp, creator, in a behind-the-scenes featurette (Starz)

“Ghost is a man who wants to be good but keeps doing bad things. That internal conflict was the most fun part to play.”

Omari Hardwick, interview with Vanity Fair

“Tommy is the heart of the show in a twisted way. He’ll kill for you, but he’ll also die for you.”

Joseph Sikora, speaking on the Power podcast (Starz)


Summary

The cast of Power is its backbone — four main performers who carried 63 episodes of shifting loyalties and bloody consequences. For anyone catching up or rewatching, the core quartet remains consistent: Ghost, Tommy, Tasha, and Angela. Hardwick’s Ghost carries the original series, and his absence from the spin-offs is the reason the universe’s next chapters feel so different.
