On the final season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Raq ends her partnership with Stefano and starts a new one with Pino Bernardi in Manhattan, taking on new territory.

I talked to Joe Pantoliano, who plays Pino Bernardi, about how he prepared for the role, his character’s reaction to meeting Raq, how Pino’s motivation to work with Raq tied to his childhood history with Stefano, and if Pino’s worried about Raq’s and Flossy’s partnership.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan airs Fridays on Starz.
