DEADLINE: We learned so much more about Ray this season.
What was it like getting to know him better?
Weve had Barnes [Roxy Sternberg] shot and on route to divorce.
(L-R): Caroline Harris as Cora Love, Adrienne D. Williams as Esther and Edwin Hodge as Special Agent Ray Cannon.Mark Schafer/CBS
Remy dealing with his nephew and then also maybe finding love himself.
It was a great season and we had some amazing episodes.
The build-up to the finale was just right; its gonna lead us into the next season.
EH:I wouldnt call this practice.
[Laughs] My real life and who I play on-screen is very different.
What we do on stage is dictated and curated, we have to follow some guidelines and rules.
We got everything done together from the venue and the food, to the tuxedos and the wedding dress.
DEADLINE: What has portraying a character thats on a similar path meant to you?
EH:The similarities definitely make the job easier.
Ray is a man who wants to do right.
Hes a man who is a perfectionist.
And Im like that with my real family.
This marriage and this new life chapter of mine will provide that for me.
DEADLINE: What has working with Steven meant to you?
EH:Steven is a wildcard in the best way possible.
If you see him on set, hes always joking and laughing.
I love his overall personality, Steven as a human being.
So, it would be hard not to relate or identify with who he is as an artist.
Thats a sweet story we rarely get as far as the African American image of a father.
Im personally tired of seeing my people in despair on TV.
But at the same time, stereotypes are stereotypes.
EH:The behind-the-scenes was a lot of fun.
Everybody was looking fantabulous!
We get to see Hana in color, you know?
We dont see her in color a lot.
I love Hanas arc this season, its one of my favorites, to be honest with you.
Dylan was a nut, he was great.
DEADLINE: Was Otis there?
EH:Sadly, no.
I wouldve loved having Otis as my ringbearer but unfortunately, we couldnt make that happen.
