As well as his fans, Tommy’s Power co-stars also flooded his comment section with praise and best wishes.
Gabrielle Ryan who starred as Gloria exclaimed: “Thomas,” with two heart emojis, the actor then reciprocated the praise by responding with a heart emoji.
Jenard Sampson’s Kris D. Lofton also commented with flame emojis.
This was also the case for JP Gibbs star Anthony Flemming III, who took to the comment section with flame emojis.
Brian Keys who played Special Agent Edgar Vargas added: “Let’s f*****g gooooooooooo.” (sic)
Fan @joanna.maria.w shared: “I can’t wait for some photos from set if it is possible- definitely a photo of you with Russell. After so many years together on set again. It is wonderful.”
While @powerneverend asked: “Will season 2 mark the end of Walter Flynn?”
Thankfully for fans, there is major detail about Sleeping Dogs, including the fact the film is an onscreen adaptation of E.O. Chirovici’s novel, The Book of Mirrors.
It will follow a “former homicide detective Roy Freeman (Russell Crowe), who in the wake of a cutting-edge Alzheimer’s treatment, is tasked with re-examining a brutal murder case from his past — the grisly murder of a college professor (Marton Csokas).
“Intrigued and fighting to regain his memory, Roy enlists his former partner to help him revive the investigation.
“This time though, things unfold very differently when they encounter a magnetic and mysterious woman (Karen Gillan).
“As he uncovers a tangled web of contradictions and secrets, Roy is forced to face a horrific reality that changes his world forever in the blink of an eye.”
Despite the detailed synopsis, showrunners have remained tight-lipped about Tommy’s role and his upcoming storyline.
This will be the third time Tommy has starred alongside Russell Crowe, as the duo first worked together in the 2000 hit film Gladiator and 2002’s Ultimate Fights from the Movies.
Power Book 4: Force is available to stream on Starz in the USA and on Lionsgate+ in the UK.
