Last night, Starz debuted its new series,
Run the World, from Leigh Davenport and Yvette Lee Bowser. While the show centers on four Black women managing love and life in Harlem, we’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight the eye candy on the show as well, starting with Nick Sagar.
Sagar, a Jamaican-Guyanese actor from London, plays Anderson Louis, a “Mr. Big” type of romantic interest that definitely adds spice to the series. “Anderson is Ella’s ex-boyfriend and due to career choices they had a split but he realizes although there’s his career and things that he wanted, he’s missing the love of his life,” Sagar tells ESSENCE, not wanting to give away too much about his character.
