After six seasons of portraying network television’s favorite dad on “This Is Us,” SterlingKBrown shares with WWD what's next.
“Honk for Jesus” marks the feature film debut for twin filmmakers Adamma and Adanne Ebo ; Adamma, who wrote and directed the movie and the short on which it’s based, is a recent graduate of UCLA’s graduate film program.
The actor leads the film, with costar Regina Hall, as the fashionable pastor of a Southern Baptist megachurch. In the wake of a personal scandal, the couple attempt to create their own redemption story — by hiring a documentary film crew — ahead of the church’s reopening. But they discover new competition from a younger married pair on the scene.
The actor brings dynamism to his character, navigating the comedic moments with nuance and subtlety opposite Hall. “She’s a wonderful [screen] partner,” says Brown of his first time working with the comedy veteran. “We’d seen each other in passing at different award shows, etc., but having the opportunity to spend six weeks with her uninterrupted [was a gift].”
While the stakes were fairly low for a portrait photo shoot, it matches his approach to his career — take creative risks on stories and emerging talent — and certainly as he moves forward from “This Is Us.” After six-plus years, the actor doesn’t seem to mind fielding questions about his role on the network show, and while it’s possible to consider that, yes, Brown’s job is to act, his gratitude reads sincere.
