This year, Clowdus continued to reprise his role in season four of The CW drama series “All American.” Based on a true story, the series follows Spencer, a high school football player from South LA who gets recruited to play for Beverly Hills High School. Clowdus shines as fan favorite JJ Parker, the life of every party and outside linebacker turned quarterback for the Beverly Hills Eagles during seasons 1-3. “All American” first debuted in 2018 to rave reviews, with all four seasons now currently available to stream on Netflix.
