Sterling K. Brown On 'Waves' Role: 'Something I Hadn't Seen Before On The Screen'

Sterling K. Brown is all smiles as he joins his co-stars at the special screening of his latest film Waves held at The Whitby Hotel Screening Room on Sunday (November 24) in New York City.

The 43-year-old This Is Us star and his cast mates Renée Elise Goldsberry and Kelvin Harrison Jr. sat down for a panel with Phylicia Rashad following the screening.

The drama, written and directed by Trey Edward Shults, traces the journey of an upper-middle-class household in Florida. When they endure an earthshaking tragedy, they are forced to reassess how they deal with love, forgiveness and despair.

“I’d never seen a black family in this particular story,” Sterling recently expressed about the film. “I’m used to seeing sensationalized ones where there’s gang violence or the music industry. But these are black folks who are doing alright, and they have their own set of problems. I was drawn to that and wanted to be a part of something I hadn’t seen before on the screen.”
