Joseph Sikora's Tommy Egan in Power : Finally, a White Guy Who's Not in the Black World To Save Anybody. It's no big secret that television diversity these days often means casting a black actor as the incongruous best friend of the lead actor in an otherwise all-white world. Joseph Sikora's Tommy Egan in the Starz drama Power is the flip side. He's the white best friend in an otherwise almost all-black world. Sikora gets the irony. In fact, he says with a laugh, I'm playing the white best friend again in my next project, Jacob's Ladder with Michael Ealy.
