@sterlingkbrown is tired of making his fans weep. “It was always a bit of a shock when people came up to me and said, ‘Oh, my God, you make me cry every week,’” says Brown, who played intense family man Randall Pearson on NBC’s "This Is Us" for its six-year run, which ended this May. “I was like, ‘Oh, dude, I was hoping I gave you a couple of yuks while you were at it.’”⁠ ⁠ He goes all-in on comedy in his new film, "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.," out September 2, in which he plays Lee-Curtis Childs, an exuberant, self-deluded, Prada-suit-wearing pastor of a megachurch, who’s trying to make a comeback after a sex scandal. Brown, 46, also has roles lined up in "Coyote Blue," an action thriller; the Hulu series "Washington Black," a historical fantasy about a runaway slave based on the 2018 novel; and a yet-to-be-titled action-comedy film. (All are produced by his company, Indian Meadows Productions.)⁠ ⁠ Though Brown says he wants his career moves to be unpredictable (he’s also had roles in "Black Panther" and ⁠"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson"), he prefers a routine in his personal life. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Ryan Michelle Bathe, and their sons, ages 11 and 6. “I’m a huge creature of habit,” he says. “If you told me I could only eat one thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for a month, you would actually make me one of the happiest men on earth.” Read more at the link in bio.
