POSE actor and Broadway icon Billy Porter.
The Upshaws is newest family sitcom from comedic stars Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes and debuted this past weekend on Netflix. The show features Epps as the head of a working class family in Indiana who struggles to make it work and make it right without a blueprint to do it. Sykes stars as his sister in-law along with TV icon Kim Fields as his wife.
