We recently got to chat with with Alix Lapri about the newest season of the crime drama Power Book II: Ghost on Starz which premiered on November 21. Alix plays Effie and has become a series regular in season 2 which is a sequel to the series Power (2014-2020). We asked Alix about her acting career and what we can expect from her character this season. Check it out below!

When did you decide that storytelling and acting was something you wanted to do?

AL: Everything means something to me. I’m an appreciator of all walks of life and subjects, so acting became increasingly interesting to me over the years. I started in music, and after a long journey there I found my way into the film world and it all clicked for me. I had found my passion.

What was your first acting role?

AL: My first role was on a show called Reed Between the Lines on BET. I was not prepared and I had no idea what I was doing but I took full advantage of every opportunity to learn.

What do you enjoy the most about acting?

AL: I love becoming a new person. When someone sees me for the first time on screen without knowing me personally, they may have no idea of what traits and mannerisms I actually possess. That’s the fun part.

What can we expect this season from Power Book II: Ghost?

AL: This season is going to be a rollercoaster. So many moments that will have you on the edge of your seat and a whole lot of DRUGS AND MONEY.

What can you tell us about your character Effie, and what’s it like playing this character?

AL: She’s stone cold man. Super dominant but mysterious. Always in control. A very calculated chaos. She’s so much fun to play. She’s always in charge and I love that.

What is the best thing about being a storyteller in your opinion?

AL: Being able to entertain people is the most rewarding part. If someone is having a hard time in life whether it be their health, job, or relationship, it’s easy to get lost in a television show. And when you do, even if it’s just for a split second, their problems disappear.
