Anika Noni Rose has been cast to play LaVerne “Jukebox” Ganner in Season 3 of Starz’s hit drama, Power.
According to People, Ganner is a police officer who “goes way back with some of the show’s major players.”
“I find everything about her delicious,” said Rose. “For me as an artist, she is the road less traveled.”
She also discussed what it was like working with the amazing cast.
“I loved it,” said Rose. “I have done a lot of guest-starring and had a lot of good experiences, but I think between the work, the great crew and the welcoming way the cast I worked with received me, this has been my favorite.”
Rose, who recently starred in the History Channel remake of Roots, makes her Power debut this Sunday.
Power airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on Starz.
