‘The Chi’ star Curtiss Cook breaks down Otis ‘Douda’ Perry

Otis “Douda” Perry (Curtiss Cook) has walked a fine line since entering “The Chi” universe in Season 2 of Showtime’s gritty, Chicago-based drama.The dapper, civic-minded Perry was camouflaged behind his successful and lucrative pizza business, leading a double life as a drug lord with a vise-like grip on the South Central neighborhood around which “The Chi” orbits.Then, in the show’s Season 3 finale, Perry was elected mayor of Chicago, beating Camille Hallaway (played by series creator Lena Waithe). Now, in Season 4, he’s using his political clout to defund the city’s police force — further blurring the edges of his opposing worlds.“What I like about Otis is his tenacity and f–k-it-all attitude,” Cook told The Post.

Lena Waithe Likes Writing Characters That Aren't Likable

Master of None promises to leave audiences reflective as it captures “moments in love.”Season three of the Netflix series focuses solely on the relationship between Waithe’s character Denise and her now-wife Alicia as they, at times, unsuccessfully navigate marriage. It’s hard not to feel emotive responses as you watch the pair make unfavorable choices that will no doubt leave you asking what you might do in a similar situation and, for Waithe, that’s exactly what her goal was with this storyline.“When Aziz and I were working on it we really wanted to make sure there was no hero or villain per se,” Waithe tells ESSENCE.
