Nicco Annan is an American actor, dancer, and choreographer. He is best known for his portrayal of Uncle Clifford on the Starz drama series P-Valley, an adaptation of the Katori Hall play Pussy Valley, in which Annan originated the role.[1]

Early life and education

Annan was raised on the Westside of Detroit, Michigan.[2] His mother is African American and was raised in the south, and his father is Ghanaian.[3] He wanted to pursue acting from a young age and studied improv and theater from youth.[4] When he was 17 he joined a dance troupe.[5] Annan received his diploma from Cass Technical High School[6] and studied theater at State University of New York-Purchase, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.[3]

Career

After college, Annan was hired as the choreographer in residence at the Yale School of Drama.[3] He also performed in theater productions on and off-Broadway. He moved to Los Angeles in 2014 to pursue television acting.[7][3] Annan has appeared in Claws, Shameless, This is Us, and Snowfall.[8][7][3] He is also the choreographer for the series All American.[7]

In 2009, Annan's friend recommended him for a role in Pussy Valley, a play by Katori Hall centered on a strip club in the Mississippi Delta. Annan auditioned for and was cast as Uncle Clifford, the club's non-binary owner.[2] He developed a detailed backstory for the character and portrayed the role in several smaller runs as well as the full production at Mixed Blood Theatre in 2015.[2]

When the play was ordered for a television adaptation by Starz, Annan again auditioned for the role of Uncle Clifford and was re-cast.[2] The series, P-Valley, premiered in 2020 and Annan received critical acclaim for his season one performance.[5] He was named to THR's list of Best TV Performances of 2020 and received nominations from the NAACP Image Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.[8]

Annan played a lead role in Hall's play The Hot Wing King, which premiered March 2020 off-Broadway.[9][10]

He appeared as a guest judge on season 2 of Legendary.[11]

Annan is openly gay.[12]
