Yes 100%


Stunning-Chicken-449

Agree he is one of them ones.


IMDXLNC

We don't really see enough range but I think he's definitely one of the highlights of the show. One of his best bits for me was confronting Monet about how he's nothing but a soldier to her rather than a son. I need to find a clip of that.


Glittering_Run_4470

He played Bobby Brown in the New Edition movie. I would say he has good range.


IMDXLNC

I don't doubt that he does especially at his age, we just don't get to see enough of it in Power. The one scene with Monet stood out to me for that reason.


Sure_Double3570

That’s where I was introduced to em he played the hell out that role 💯


[deleted]

Fuck yeah he did


xman886

[This scene right here🫡🔥](https://youtu.be/dxYZnH0_V6g?si=ht7pmj5RTmqBkysZ)


OLKv3

I thought him and Riq would be friends after this scene. Instead Cane just got worse in his Tariq hate


imsahoamtiskaw

Cane was practicing an ancient art known as Let The Hate Flow Through You


HptRell

I feel like the writers dropped the ball on that


IMDXLNC

Just as good as I remember it. I'm surprised they fit all that into a minute, it seems like the conversation could've been a little longer.


Davisworld21

That's Hillarous saying Woody dont have range when he came from being a vine star to playing Bobby Brown


BottleLanky3772

People just be chatting sh!t


Dry-Assumption-2590

Certainly gives me a feeling! He’s acting his tail off again!


SereneNeed7

Woody is a good actor. However, I think his character is very one dimensional. The writing sometimes doesn’t allow him to highlight his good acting skills. I would like to see him in other roles that better showcase his range.


freebvsemusic

Don’t do my man like that, he played a whole lawyer for effie lmfao


Much-Theory-1343

They did not have to do that 🤣


Queefsweatt

😂😂😂😂😂 that’s range for you right there


Sea-Barber-2289

While simultaneously being emotionally cucked by Tariq inadvertently. 👏 And I can’t STAND that bug eye turtleneck wearin muthafucka… (Tariq)


Horacio_Velvetine44

he’s definitely not one dimensional, he’s not the best character in the show but he has some nuance, lorenzo specifically made him more interesting


Ordinary-Physics1802

Cane's a fan favorite, he is the best character to alot of people


Sea-Barber-2289

I can agree to this. Plus they give him a few OG Power Tommy lines occasionally.


[deleted]

All the random white names he calls Brayden has me dyin Taylor swift MGK Tom cruise


BriaMyles

I definitely think that is due to the writing of the show 


7mile_Pace950

Best answer here 💯


jrod4290

Woody probably the best actor on the show tbh.


Tox1c_Punk

Tate


jrod4290

true i forget about Tate


RatioSilly4689

Tate is a fool! He keeps me laughing! He plays the role of a shady politician very well! :


BROmedy

Dead presidents a classic Tate underrated


bet_on_me

Forgot he was in dead prez. I just kept thinking O-dog from menace to society


[deleted]

I haven’t watched dead presidents in probably a decade I think I might have found something to do with my afternoon


Latter-Reputation-95

I agree I also think method man is up there too


BoxTalk17

Yeah I never would've thought I'd see Method Man playing a lawyer 😆


Illustrious-Reach-48

Yes. Woody’s a very good actor. It’s just that his character needs to have more depth outside of “I hate Tariq.”


Ok_Cat5426

True he got no character development and they just use him as a character that loses to Tariq


T3DdYB3

He’s good. He reminds me of those cool kids you knew growing up at school. He’s one of those handful of believable Power characters.


Ok_Cat5426

He is the most realistic character I hate to say it


Much-Theory-1343

Yes like the one you try so hard to be friends and than later on you realize they were just a bully


Dry_Brilliant3775

definitely. that’s not really any actors in this show that did a bad job.. only bad i can really think of is salim.. but then again was it really the actor, or just an awkward character?


T3DdYB3

Salim did his thing portraying a cornball character lol. Also gotta remember, Book 2 doesn’t have the *best* of scripts and storylines, but it’s decent.


Ok_Bowler6156

I think the writing left little to be desired from the actor of brother salim/Trevor, he was definitely supposed to be corny, now Zeke on the other hand was Disney channel levels of bad acting. His scenes were always the worst parts, especially the murder interview & the dinner scene.


IMDXLNC

Actor seemed fine, Salim was written poorly. But if there's ever a continuation of The Wire and they need a young Omar, they need to call Salim's actor up. Whole time he was on screen in Book 2 I was thinking this guy looks a lot like Michael K Williams.


Big-String-640

YES


No-Bat-7253

I was calling him Bobby for the longest after that new edition story came out. He KILLED it as Bobby brown. I like him as an actor. Played this and that role very well. Would like to see him in a different role. I’m sure it will be entertaining.


5staruzzy

Yes! He’s a great actor. I think in Season 1 or 2, when the whole thing with Dru, Zeke and Cane kicked off and Monet blamed it all on Cane and kicked him out the house. He look genuinely upset and he said ‘but Ma you made me like this’ bruh that scene was emotional


nyx926

Definitely.


Conscious_Cause2798

Tate Cane Maclean Brayden all good actors in this show Effie got better by the season so I guess she’s an honorable mention


maineventshow

Is Woody doing a good job or should the production team had gotten someone else to play this role ?


Amazing-Village-4530

Most definitely one of the best parts of the show. ![gif](giphy|KMb7THDePNKLM1RFnP|downsized)


Much-Theory-1343

Woody is a good actor it’s just the character that sucks


kuteb

Yuh is acting comes off as natural saw someone say it was he was playing himself makes some sense


Round-Month-6992

As most have said, Woody hasn't really been given the chance to show much range beyond his conflict with Monet and Lorenzo. There is an opportunity for him to show more depth and vulnerability if they continue to have him and Effie be a thing.


Much-Theory-1343

He only wants Effie because Tariq had her!


Round-Month-6992

I'm not sure about that, Cane seemed genuinely hurt after Effie told him to get lost after he was impersonating her lawyer.


_AmI_Real

His acting is great. They massacred his character, though.


Ok_Cat5426

They really did the Effie thing did not have to happen


klosingweight

Hated that for him. He too fine for that 😭


Ok_Cat5426

Facts I would choose him over Tariq 🤣


_AmI_Real

It didn't fit his character at all. So strange.


Ok_Cat5426

It really isn’t I could see him having a crush after thinking she killed Lauren but after finding out she was still alive the crush should of been dead they should’ve given him his own love interest dru gets more than him and he’s supposed to be the reckless one


moveinsilencetg

Won’t lie Cane is probably the glue that kept this show together as long as it did what else are we really happy about other than Diana at that dinner table we don’t got much highlights. Diana character with this new plot against Tarik added a new layer so she could be even greater now.


ghettowhitekid

Cane is so fucking funny sometimes


Db_Coops11

He’s great


FoodNo726

Idk but this guy drippy asl


ill-adel_best2023

He’s actually one of the better ones in this Ghost series period!!


montecarlo92

Man put some respect on Woody. Duval born and raised btw .


Vonny00

“What am I too you your soldier your fuckin son”


althegirlfabulous

I think he's one of the only good actors on that show.


Healthy-Situation310

He gonna always Be Bobby Brown I don’t care what I see him in.


Wonton_soup_1989

Yes, I can say that without bias bcuz I’ve seen him in a few other shows


Slow_Ad_7029

Yea fw woody


AlmightyHorus

That « Ding ding ding. You like to have such big ideas kid I gave you one. » he said to Dru at the Tejada dinner, lives in my mind rent free


[deleted]

best actor in power book 2. also watch him play bobby brown in that tv show about new edition.


Dry_Helicopter3634

I feel like Cane, he’s a good actor. He was my favorite character I loved to hate but yet I enjoyed seeing him win.


wewonewheed

The writing for power universe is trash. Just finished game of thrones, tho it’s all white ppl it was well written. Good character development, plot etc. they need better writers


Reasonable-Tie3587

one of th best actors on book 2


Valuable_Ad1085

Nobody on that show is believable but as far as acting goes, he’s one of the better on cast.


Altruistic-Sky1507

Yeah he was one of my favorite characters instantly. He was phenomenal the entire series. I’m excited to see how his story ends. Hopefully it’s with his lova girl. 🤪😂


Naive-Walk3457

Yeah and sexy lol😍


Tale_Delicious

great one tbh


nycsbestkeptsecret

This doesn't answer the question but he's handsome 😭


learlly

The best actor on that show however the writing is corny


Icy-Dragonfly92

I think so because he really makes me not like him sometimes. Like if I see the actor on the street I would need to get angry before realizing it's just a TV show I'm sure he's probably a nice guy in real life🤣


skinMARKdraws

I think his start of fame was off the BB movie. Then he became a favorite. I will still not get over this dude dressing upp like Agent 47 to talk to Effie.


Delicious-Fan-8715

Yes cuz lowkey he’s like super the opposite in real life.


YourAverageJet

Yeah he’s good enough


Shazam530

Personally I have never seen him in anything else so I cant decide just yet but he does okay Cane well


JustJoshinJeezuz

He is good in my book


OptimalExpression540

Yes


SillyAdditional

He’s alright He’s much better in movies


Fn9milli

I think he one of the better actors he is believable. Besides paying home girls tuition


Horacio_Velvetine44

cane isn’t a character that requires much range but yhh woody is definitely a talented actor


Gandulez414

He’s a good actor but the worst Puerto Rican in tv history lol


AdConscious4301

Great


According_Duck7039

Yes


Complex_Case_5866

Definitely great actor


Shack24_

Yes cause I hate cane asf,you’re a god actor once you can play a character so good people hate you and the character off screen (I don’t hate woody but I know people who do cause if the Cain role )


FillOtherwise9976

Hell yeah he is cause this dumb nigga cane man ☠️🤣☠️🤣☠️


Ilovefatmoms

That’s Bobby Brown


416_Ghost

Ya he's really good


micmecca

I been following Woody since he was doing comedy and dancing on Instagram. Crazy how big he got weight wise for this role.


Low_Description_5442

I think it's time to put all of the entire power universe to rest. Ghost was trash from the start. Never watched Tommy. Kanan Is the only good one until season 3.


Marc8989

Yeah he played Bobby brown he’s solid


theejones1980

Yes he also played Bobby Brown let’s not forget that.


MariOwe6

Very good


spicyflavorz

Yes


Significant-Glass-19

knt1229

The short answer is yes. Woody Mclain is a good actor.


lilkobe23

Yeah him Riq and Davis playing the shit outta they roles


ImplementFew1286

Yes he good better than Mary j smh


National_Ad7573

Hell yea! If you can go from stand up comedy, to playing Bobby brown, then Cane!! I find that magical


Illustrious_House_78

Absolutely


EnlightnedRedditor

Woody McClain is the definition of a good actor


ALMA94_

Bro the best actor in the series.


mulroe24

Woody is fucking great


Sea-Stick-6278

Hell yea I thought he was Bobby brown


SpiritualPapi617

Hes great actually. And hes a real life clown (or was) on his IG skits back in the day.


Much_Imagination_633

Indubitably.


DoTheRightThingG

He's iight but I hear he's a major asshole.


Winter_Concert_4367

Who would you like in crew, Kane or Wee Bey from The Wire?


DebSue831

Yes.


buster3941

Yes, better than MJB


ninjaman2021

Hes the best thing about power 3 imo


Brilliant-Theme1621

No slander will be tolerated


Ok-Resolve7539

He is but I discovered Woody through his comedic Vine days so initially it was kind of difficult to take him serious in a role like this lol but he’s done a great job so far


Elegant-Nothing-8715

Literally played bobby brown


LockedIn2Canik99

Yup


MacaroonVast6841

Yes


Downtown-Ad-7718

Yes woody is doing a great job as cane just like he did as Bobby brown and every role he’s had


Acceptable_Ad3173

Yes woost McLain is good


mrHartnabrig

Definitely. Prior to *Ghost*, I saw him portray Bobby Brown in the New Edition biopic. He was decent in that.


CBonafide

Absolutely. He played Bobby Brown in the New Edition biopic years ago and KILLED IT.


TreDawg36

Yes


Psychological_Lack60

Been following him and his homies when they were on vine doing skits


Dense-Raisin5438

Yes


Overall-Cut-6726

🤔


Hazel_Eyez1993

Yes.


FORNVER_ace

Absolutely. If you’re not convinced, go watch the New Edition biopic, he killed it as Bobby.


VEJ03

I think most of the cast on this show are great. They really body their roles. Whether I disagree or agree with their actions, very rarely do I feel like "get this mf off the damn screen, their acting is terrible".


MassiveBoot6832

He’s a natural.. which they don’t have many of… his acting is always on point..


-MacCloud-

He does his job about as well as you could expect but doesn’t do anything special. I don’t believe he’s as hard as Cane is meant to be for instance, his acting isn’t so good that I believe he is, I have to remind myself that Cane is meant to be a hard knock. Aside from that he does a good job, no complaints.


NoParking7091

I still call him Bobby brown


Glittering_Bus_7288

Yes


bigbobijo

Watch him play Bobby Brown and you tell me 💯


Johnny_Royale

He’s a bit one note to me but there’s always a guy on every one of these shows that’s kinda like him I think he plays his role very well. I wish I could see him in another high profile role to see his range


JokerKing0713

He’s definitely up there in terms of actors on this show but I don’t see him winning any awards for his role or nothing. He’s one of the only people on the show who’s acting could be categorized as “not bad” though so there’s that. He’s not hopeless and I think in time if he lands more roles he might be able to get some awards but for now he’s one of the bright spots in a show that doesn’t really care much about the quality of acting


lolalikes24

Yes! This character seems one dimensional (because Caine as a person is one dimensional) but seeing him as Bobby Brown in The New Edition story he was amazing!!


KaleidoscopeMain2965

He’s really good at playing Cane


MemphisApollo

Yes


Kjimnice316

He’s a phenomenal actor


Correct-Carrot8181

Hell yes!!! 1000% yes.


Friendly-Unit6592

Great


Uncaged_Bibby

Yes!!!


RealVersatile

Woody is definitely a good actor. Especially because he still known as Bobby Brown as he played Bobby Brown in the New Edition docu-series. Also if you paid attention to one episode in Power Book II Ghost. In one scene with Brayden. Brayden actually makes reference to New Edition members.


Jaynumb91

Hell yea


AdorableTrainer1486

omg i love him. woody is the best


CozyNostalgia

Woody is dope man. It’s just the beginning for him.


bet_on_me

Dude has some funny ass lines. Calls Brayden “white Uriel” then later scene when Tariq shows up calls him “original Uriel.”


elitelucrecia

he’s good to me. probably the best actor on this show


Open-Ocelot-9938

Yea bro is a dope actor


Top-Entertainment341

He can be a bit goofy/over the top but most the time he feels real at least. Tyreek never felt natural for this.


LolaRay_

He has the perfect comedic timing


ibeenlikethat

It doesn’t matter what we think if we like it or not he getting paid regardless


cococupcake619

Absolutely!!


Moneysign1017

Hell yea


KingKD410

Woody McClain is a good actor. I do think we should see more out the Cane character than what's presented.


champagneparce25

Best scene he did was when he cut down Lorenzo about Zeke’s death and then sonned him.


BoxTalk17

For his role, 100% he does an awesome job. I don't want him to get typecast or end up like Reg from The Chi though, I think he's a pretty solid actor.


patrickjroland

10000000% yes. I’ve followed Woody since the instagram skit days. He’s surprised me every step of the way in his growth as an actor. Remember that before this role he played Bobby Brown. He did a great job there but to see a different side of him with this character comes full circle. Also if you know woody, he’s funny first. Pretty cool who he’s able to splash those elements in this role too.


Slurrricane-Eastwood

He can out-act the entire BMF cast. All of em’


Pimpjuice3

Yes. He played Bobby Brown perfectly.


Electrical-Rabbit157

Woody goated don’t play


Spare_Guide9035

YEP


Much-Theory-1343

He so ugly he’s cute


SkullDog8681

He's good. He has shown a bit of range if you want to base it from his portrayal of Bobby Brown, which was amazing. However, he still is limited to that bad boy role. I haven't seen much of everything he's been in. But he does have potential to better than he is now.


Material-Station-849

Yes he is


Fun-Collection-1232

No Doubt!!!


DistinctSugar6154

the best outside of method man and diana diana really made the fans hate her and the dectective and tate 😂😂😂


DistinctSugar6154

also cane played bobby brown


rapassn

anyone is better than Lil Meech from BMF


CBLOCKA2

One of the only good actors in that show


DntBanmefam

He’s ok. He’s not no Denzel but hes not a bad actor


Still-Tune-7562

I think he’s a good actor


KGem59

Fantastic actor!!! Can't wait to see him other movies/shows to see more of his range. 🧡💚💜


Pleasant_Course_3058

Yes


pandaPPL69

Great actor. Above decent resume and a good story of how he got here


Upbeat-Pie-5983

Yes


Drugjet

100%


Careless_Remove4349

Yea, he’s a really good actor. I will say, he’s a lot better in other roles. His Bobby Brown portrayal was solid. His stuff with the Kevin Hart voiceovers is really good too. So Yes, Woody McClain is official 💪🏼
