When producer Tommy Oliver offered Keith Powers a role in an upcoming project, little did he know that he would be playing the love interest of Gabrielle Union. Powers was initially surprised when Oliver mentioned that he would be starring alongside Union, asking, “Between who?” However, after reading Tia Williams’ book “The Perfect Find,” Powers became intrigued by the romantic story and was excited to be part of a genre that he grew up loving.
In “The Perfect Find,” which will be released on Netflix, Powers plays the character of Eric Combs, a 25-year-old recent graduate who works for his mother’s publication company. Eric is trying to establish himself as a director and spreads his wings while falling in love with Jenna Jones, played by Gabrielle Union. Jenna is a former fashion editor who is trying to rebuild her life after losing her job and breaking off her engagement.
The dynamic between Jenna and Eric is what drew Powers to the project. He loved the idea of a romantic comedy and enjoyed the opportunity to work with Union. Powers was especially impressed by Union’s professionalism on set and learned a lot from her as a veteran actor. He admired her dedication to rehearsing and running lines, which helped him gain confidence as an up-and-coming actor.
Working alongside Gina Torres, who plays Eric’s mother in the film, was also a valuable experience for Powers. Torres brought a motherly presence to the set and made Powers strive to be at his best. Powers appreciated the importance of casting and the impact that certain individuals can have on the overall atmosphere of a production.
“The Perfect Find” allowed Powers to explore a different side of himself as an actor. He saw the film as an opportunity to believe in his creative choices and pursue projects that have something meaningful to say. Powers wants to be an entertainer who can relate to audiences and evoke emotions through his work.
In his upcoming role in the Netflix adaptation of “The Uglies,” Powers will continue to pursue his goal of being a versatile and relatable performer who can connect with diverse audiences.
