Method Man says that Redman was recast on “Power Book II: Ghost” because he “wouldn’t get the jab.”
Method Man has confirmed why Redman was absent from the third season of Power Book II: Ghost. He previously played the character of Theo Rollins, but Method Man has confirmed that the role was recast because Redman wouldn’t get the coronavirus vaccine. Method Man discussed the situation during an appearance on The Breakfast Club.
“He wouldn’t get the jab. Did I talk to Redman about it? No, we close-close. Shit like that don’t even need to be said. He’s not the first or the last person that’ll probably happen to,” Meth said, before referencing another actor who experienced a similar problem. “Redman, he made a decision and I stick by whatever his decision was. If he feels it was best for him, I agree with him.”
Actor Jordan Mahon took over to handle the role of Rollins from Redman in Season 3 of Power Book II. Rollins played the sick brother of Davis MacLean (Method Man) who was behind bars for a crime that MacLean, a prominent lawyer, actually committed.
Unfortunately, Rollins’ time in the show came to an end in Season 3 when he died by suicide after murdering dirty lawyer Cooper Saxe and shooting himself seconds later.
