He first appeared in the season 4 finale, taking on the significant role of Branford \u201cBreeze<\/strong>\u201d Frady, a character often referenced but never previously shown in the franchise. <\/p>\n Moore expressed his enthusiasm for stepping into this iconic role: \u201cThe \u2018Power\u2019 Universe<\/strong> fans have been patiently anticipating this moment and I\u2019m honored to step into the role of Breeze. I jumped into a story that is already alive with such strong characters, but it was a fun challenge to find Breeze\u2019s unique identity, and I can\u2019t wait for fans to see how Breeze will shift dynamics in the story. It\u2019s gonna be a wild ride.\u201d<\/p>\n Breeze has been closely linked to the \u201cPower\u201d<\/strong> narrative, originally introduced in the mothership series as a well-known drug kingpin from Queens<\/strong>.

The fourth season also featured talents such as Joey Bada$$<\/strong>, London Brown<\/strong>, Malcolm Mays<\/strong>, Hailey Kilgore<\/strong>, and Tony Danza<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Penn serves as an executive producer in addition to his role as writer and showrunner for \u201cRaising Kanan.\u201d The original Power<\/strong> creator Courtney A.
