P-Valley Actor J. Alphonse Nicholson said Gay Character is Important for Black Community  

In an interview with Vulture Nicholson credited his comfort to do the sex scene to his theater background and his on-the-air chemistry with castmate John Clarence Stewart. 

“Just trusting our process and knowing that we both come from the theater background, where you really just have to sit in the work and breathe and believe, as I like to say. So us kind of putting our nerves to the side and saying, You know what, let’s tell the story; let’s tell it correctly,” he told Variety. “John is a constant professional so knowing that we’re both gonna bring our best every day made it pretty seamless.” 

“Sex scenes are just uncomfortable — it doesn’t matter what your sexual preference is or who you like or what you like, it’s just uncomfortable because there are so many people in the room and lights and cameras and all these things,” he added. “But we knew we had a job to do. I got a real feeling that we both understood that we were gonna make history. We both felt what that energy was gonna be and locked in and got it done.” 

Nicholson also went on Twitter and gave himself a job well done for creating real dialogue from a fictional show.  

P-Valley is in its second season and can be viewed on Starz Network every Friday at 9 pm ET.
