Jesse Williams explains how his "pretty secretive" Power cameo came about

Entertainment Weekly

"I’m a fan of the show," says the Grey's Anatomy star, who "kind of snuck in and snuck out" of the set of the Starz series for last night's cameo. "I’ve been in contact with (creator) Courtney Kemp, who is a good friend of mine," he adds. "Courtney and I have been trying to figure out a way to work together for some time. We figured hell or high water, we’re going to find a way to sneak me in. With the show wrapping up, she wanted to squeeze me in for kind of a surprise cameo and to get our working relationship started. It’s a monster show and I thought it would be fun to pop in for the final season. It’s an interesting character. The character had a presence in the show for a duration because he was in a relationship with La La Anthony’s character and is the father of Cash. He’s just been off-screen this whole time. It’s kind of cool to come in with a character that’s kind of been ever-present."
