Nicholas L. Ashe on Queen Sugar

Ashe plays the character of Micah West in Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey’s television series Queen Sugar.

The show is a story about family and connections, it’s about three siblings; who reconnect in the face of the tragedy. Nicholas’ character, meanwhile, is that of a privileged boy who comes from Los Angeles and is living an elite life. However, as the story builds, he has to get used to a completely different life. Explaining his character further, in an interview with Huffpost, Nicholas told.

He’s (Micah) the son of one of the siblings; Charlie Bordelon-West, who is a very established sports manager, and my character’s father is the leading player in the NBA- think LeBron James. And that’s allowed my character to lead a really privileged life- but what’s cool about him is that he’s not the typical, cocky celebrity kid, he is actually very sensitive and humble. I think what’s also cool is that he’s also one of the youngest players in the show period, so it allows you to see all the politics and this big drama and how heavy life may be through the eyes of a teenager.
