PC: There have been so many stand-out moments with your character. It’s going to be funny to watch how that continues to deepen. We have a lot of conversations about that. I’ll have a conversation with the director and I’m like, “You know what? Why don’t we give that to him this time? Why don’t we switch it up?” I feel like people enjoy seeing us go back and forth. Sometimes they’ll give me a lot of the dominant control tactics. How have you and Michael approached that dynamic and has that changed heading into this new season?Īlix: What’s really interesting is that when we’re on set, Michael and I have conversations about that with the directors. PC: Speaking of that dominance, we’ve seen the power struggle between Effie and Tariq throughout the seasons. She’s still going to keep that mystery that everybody seems to be intrigued by. You know how you have a conscience and you’re like, “Hmm, I would love to do that, but I probably am not going to.” She’s like, “Let’s do it.” You can definitely expact a lot of that from her-a lot of the dominant, confident energy that she always brings. I would say she knows what she’s doing and she knows why she’s doing it. What can fans expect from your character this season?Īlix: Oh my gosh. PC: You’re one of the stars of Power Book II: Ghost and Season 2 just premiered.
If we had never come here, I might not be here today. I always go back to that moment because from that moment it was like a butterfly effect. I remember I went to my mom and was like, “Hey, mom.” (I was twelve at the time.) I was like, “Mom, I want to move to Atlanta.” She looked at me like, “Girl, are you crazy?” I kid you not, a week later, her job transferred her to Atlanta. When you look back, is there a particular moment that stands out to you?Īlix: It’s when I moved to Atlanta. PC: You’ve had a lot of success already in your young career. I like to have fun and go big, and it’s worked. My natural style is already on the ediger side. I was always the kind of person who was comfortable with taking risks. What was the biggest lesson that you learned being an artist that you’ve been able to transfer over to your acting career and vice versa?Īlix: To be bold and take risks because playing it safe will not get you very far. PC: Like you were saying earlier, you got your start in music. That seems pretty cool.” I started to make my way into it and did the same. I was like, “Well, I want to do that too.
I remember seeing them having so much fun with it. I watched a lot of my friends make their way into acting, like Jacob Latimore and Ajiona Alexus, who was on BMF. PC: Who or what has had the biggest influence on your career?Īlix: I would say a lot of my peers. It was the most incredible, exciting feeling ever.
I was like, “Wow, this is incredible.” From there, I was hooked. I didn’t realize it was going to be as huge as it was until the moment I got to set. I started auditioning and booked Den of Thieves with Gerald Butler and 50 Cent. I wasn’t super crazy interested at first, but I fell in love with it. I found my way into acting naturally through the people that I was signed to. PC: How did you discover your passion for the arts?Īlix: I actually started in music. Pop Culturalist was lucky enough to chat with Alix about her journey from music to acting, Power Book II: Ghost Season 2, and how big risks led her down the road to superstardom. This fall, Alix reprises her role in the highly-anticipated second season of Power Book II: Ghost. Whether she’s singing her heart out in the studio or captivating audiences in projects like Den of Thieves, Alix is a rising talent who is crushing it in all facets of her career. Similar to her character Effie Morales in Power Book II: Ghost, Alix Lapri is a force to be reckoned with.
