Actor, Clifton Powell, widely known to many of us Old Schoolers as “Pinky” from the movie, “Friday” was filmed on camera in the car with his son…actually it was his son, Clifton Jr., who filmed his Pops and it had all of us crackin’ up over here. Apparently Clifton’s son knew how to get him to bring “Pinky” back to life because he went off on a “Pinky” rant. Check it out below and then we’ll give y’all the scoop on his son…
In case you haven’t noticed, Clifton Jr. is tall as all get out! LOL. He’s 6’5″ and is putting his height to good use. He’s a basketball player and is about to enter college after making some major noise on the high school level. Here are two short clips he posted on his Instagram page…this young cat’s got skills…
There are two things we really dig about Clifton Powell Sr.:
(1) He is one of the most versatile highly skilled and versatile actors in the game (and I personally think he’s a little underrated). Any actor who can go from playing “Pinky” to a more serious role as Ray Charles’ right hand man in the movie “Ray,” deserves his props!
(2) The brotha ALWAYS somehow finds a way to keep a gig! His resume stretches from stage plays, to TV series,’ to movies, and from villains to comedic roles. He is now on the new Bounce TV series that everyone’s been raving about, “Saints and Sinners,” so be sure to check him out on there…
He will also be in the upcoming Tupac biopic. Here is a pic of him with his co-stars on set…
He’s currently starring in the stage play, “Married But Single,” also starring Lisa Raye, Carl Payne, Derrin Henson, and others…
