Where Are They Now? The Cast of “Amen”

Clifton Davis as Reverend Reuben Gregory

Reverend Reuben was the love of Thelma’s life, and the thorn in Deacon Frye’s side.

Clifton Davis was always known from shows like “That’s My Mama,” as an established songwriter (he wrote the Jackson 5 hit “Never Can Say Goodbye“) and an established (and Tony nominated) Broadway performer.  His life delved into an abyss of using women and cocaine, before he found God and turned his life around, making his role in “Amen” perfect for him.

After “Amen,” he’s continued to work as an actor, appearing in many shows like “Living Single,” “Sparks,” “American Dream,” and “Half and Half,” along with movies Any Given Sunday and Halloweentown High.  He also released a number of critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated albums, while having a strong career as an ordained minister.  Along with being a Chancellor at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina for a few years, he also is an avid philanthropist, for many programs like “Children’s Defense Fund,” “Trey Whitfield Foundation,” “Arise and Walk Ministries Foundation,” and others.
