Wendall Pierce and Erika Woods make their debut appearance in season three of Power Book III: Raising Kanan as Ishmael ‘Snaps’ Henry and Stephanie ‘Pop’ Henry. Their characters are introduced to the audience as married and retired Og’s in the drug game. Upon introduction to their character, immediately you witness their playful dynamic. The two are clearly enjoying retirement but when Ronnie comes to them for advice you see their level of wiseness and levelheaded demeanor.
Wendall and Erika gave us some insight into who their characters are and what roles their characters will play during the climactic time of the season. Now that all the heavy hitters have been taken out or have taken a step back from the drug game, Wendell hinted that the couple may be looking into coming out of retirement.
“The thing that has lasted is our trust in each other. While others you see throughout that there’s sort of a distrust that people develop with each other… If you have a trust with someone you are going to be a lot more successful and at the same time you’re protected because you have someone to have your back… That’s the benefit of being an OG, that’s the knowledge that these young bucks could learn from us.”
And don’t mistake their calm demeanor for weakness. When asked who should the audience be more afraid of, Ronnie or the Henry’s, Erika and Wendell let us know they’re not one to be underestimated.
“Ain’t nobody scared of Ronnie, that’s our son,”
Erika stated.
“It’s always the people you don’t expect to be the dangerous ones and we kill them with kindness, remember that. While everyone else is afraid of Ronnie, he don’t want this smoke.”
