‘American Fiction’ Actor Sterling K. Brown On Breaking Out Of His ‘This Is Us’ Persona And Why You Should Always Listen To The “Still, Small Voice” Within


'American Fiction' actor Sterling K. Brown on breaking the mold and working on Cord Jefferson's debut film with veteran actor Jeffrey Wright.

DEADLINE: Another scene that happens just after that that I can’t stop thinking about is when Cliff explains to Monk how he wishes their father got to know the real him before he passed away, even if he would have rejected his lifestyle. And I’m like, “Oh man, I got to make sure I keep this woman.” And so, it was right after I had this conversation, the next pilot season that I auditioned for was [ The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story], and then things happened from there, but in those three years, I wondered, “Oh, should I have done something else? Made a smarter decision?” And I think at the end of the day, the universe, god, nature have shown me that if I listen to the still, small voice and am obedient in that way of trusting that you are where you’re supposed to be on purpose, not by happenstance, that good things tend to come my way.
