If you've been following the Stars Network, blood-tingling series, Power, chances are you're already hooked on the cut-throat epic saga, and you're highly anticipating the upcoming third season.

Good news for you. The third season is quickly approaching and will begin on July 17, 2016. Moreover, this season's fourth episode, (3:04) airing on August 7, 2016, entitled "Don't Worry Baby", features not only our favorite actors in the show like Omari Hardwick, La La Anthony, 50 Cent, Joseph Sikora and Anika Noni Rose, but it also debuts three actors, who are new to the show, from our own DMV (DC, MD VA) area. Furthermore, all three of them can found in the same thrilling, jewelry store scene.

Darik Bernard, who plays Doc on the show, is a Morgan State University graduate and New Jersey inhabitant who reoccurred in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, and will be causing havoc on ABC's new comic book TV series, Luke Cage.

The actress (myself), Ambre Anderson portrays the featured Jewelry Store Customer. She is a Baltimore native and New York resident who graduated from Howard University. Anderson recently appeared in the FOX hit series "Gotham", the VHI tv pilot/ series "The Breaks", and HBO's "Last Week Tonight w/ John Oliver".

Together with Howard University graduate, Kamahl Naiqui, representing the character Dirt, is a LA local, who'll drop in on Direct TV's series "Kingdom", and starred in the CW's "Gossip Girl", they make up the local ones to watch on Power this season.

"We all auditioned for our roles at different times. Shout out to Casting Director, Christine Kromer and Director, Larysa Kondracki! But it wasn't until we were all on set (for a few hours) that I was reminded just how small the world is; and how we really are all connected. Kamahl and I went to the same university (Howard). And Derek went to college right across the street from my dad's house in Baltimore. Not to mention, my brother had just taken a picture with the talented, 50 Cent a few days before our scene and happened to send it to me during the shoot. It was all good vibes with good people on set. But then again if you're not having an overall good time while you're working, then you're probably in the wrong business" -Ambre Anderson
