‘P-Valley’ Star Nicco Annan on Taking on Non-Binary Role: “I Did Not Want Her to Be a Joke”
On Starz’s P-Valley, Nicco Annan‘s Uncle Clifford, the proprietor of the Mississippi Delta strip club at the show’s center, is part grounded caregiver and part bon vivant business owner.
I always talk about the nakedness of a strip club, and that allows us — as the actors in the cast — to be so naked and raw in our acting. He was born on May 7, 1989, in Detroit, Michigan, United States. And that’s a space we all are striving to be. When Starz wanted to produce the TV adaptation of Pussy Valley, this time calling it P-Valley, Annan saw it as his opportunity to shine and promptly auditioned for the role of Uncle Clifford.
He was raised in the North end area of Detroit, Michigan by an African-American mother named Sandra Nicco Annan and a Ghanian father whose name is unknown at this time. To play that, for me, I have to get very comfortable in the body that I’m in. He dances – a skill that many people don’t know about.
He joined a dance troupe at the age of 17.
The P-valley star is gay, with a capital G.
Nicco Annan has admitted to being ‘proudly and openly’ gay and has been open about his sexuality for a very long time.
He told Essence that he jumped at the idea of playing Uncle Clifford because he believed the LGBTQ+ community needed representation.
“As a Black man and as a Black gay man, it’s very seldom that I get the opportunity to tell such a rich, lush story that really means something and that I really feel speaks to my community and can uplift us.”
Annan, like his character on the show, is gay and proud about it.
Are Nicco Annan and J.
Alphonse together?
On the show, Nicco Annan was in a relationship with Lil Murda, played by J. Alphonse. Or he is perfectly single and just focusing on his career at this time.
Nicco Annan’s children
As of the time of publishing this article, Nicco Annan does not have any children.
I did not want people to just be enamored by the fashion. When you were giving grandmother her insulin, you had a nice negligee, because you wanted to feel good. I wanted people to be able to really feel who she is and what she goes through.
What should the entertainment industry be taking away from the success of P-Valley, which has been renewed for a third season?
I hope that this is a signal to dream big.
Alongside P-valley, he has starred in other movies, including; This Is Us, Shameless, Snowfall, and Claws.
Apart from acting, this star has other tricks up his sleeve. I read that [in the script] and I knew that there was a depression going on. He even went as far as studying improv and theater as a youngster.
After receiving a diploma from Cass Technical High School, Annan proceeded to the State University of New York to pursue a degree in theater.
His career has recorded many wins since he started.
I remember being in the pandemic of it all, when we were coming up with options, I would tell [costume designers Alita McGhee Bailey and Tiffany Hasbourne], “This isn’t enough. What’s more, he was hired as a choreographer at the Yale School of Drama after college.
He also went on to perform in different Broadway productions before deciding to pursue a career in acting.
Clifford’s Sexuality: Why People Assume He’s Gay
The 33-year-old TV star gave an unforgettable performance on the Starz drama series P-valley.
He developed an active interest in the performing arts from a very young age and backed up that interest by studying improv theater from a very young age and then joining a dance troupe when he was 17 years old.
After receiving his high school diploma from Cass Technical High School, Nicco Annan enrolled at the State University of New York-Purchase where he bagged a degree in Fine Arts.
