Alabama Actor Sims Joins 'P-Valley' Season 3, Produces Civil Rights Series

In the upcoming 2025-2026 television season, Alabama-born actor Sims will join the cast of Starz's acclaimed drama series 'P-Valley' for its third season. Sims, who has previously appeared in shows like Hulu's 'Wu-Tang: An American Saga' and CBS's 'East New York', will be represented by managers Jessica Moresco and Elle Maney of the Asteria Artists collective.

Sims is also currently starring as Phillip Lafayette Gibbs and executive producing the limited series 'Blood on the Books', which centers on the 1970 Jackson State University shootings, a tragic but little-known civil rights story. Sims and Desmond Jackson of BVC Films have secured the life rights agreement with the families of Phillip Gibbs and James Earl Green, and the project has the full institutional support of Jackson State University.

In addition, Asteria Artists, the female-led talent management company established in 2024, has expanded its team with the addition of former Unified agent Dana Maxwell as a new manager. Moresco, the daughter of Academy Award-winning writer and producer Bobby Moresco, had previously led Unified alongside the late veteran casting director Al Onorato, while Maney had worked with the pair for a decade.
