Joseph Sikora has played Tommy Egan since "Power" began in 2014, but, in 2022, he told Open Tapes that he genuinely never gets tired of returning to the character. While explaining that part of the gift of working on the spin-off, "Power Book IV: Force," is that he gets to explore new sides to the character, Sikora said, "His fragile side will find much more space here. Chicago displaces him because it's not like New York: at first he thinks he can rely on its rules of the game, but he's no longer leading the game."

Sikora has also shared that he and his character share a few similarities — but, as he put it, they are all parts of him that he puts into the role. As Sikora told Nicki Swift, he shares a temperament with the character — but only to a point. "We're both very loyal. We're both very heated. We get heated very fast. But, unlike Tommy, I've gone to anger management therapy, and I still see my therapist every week," he explained, "and I work on my mental health, whereas Tommy does not."
