Sterling K. Brown is best known for his role as Randall Pearson, the adopted son and adoring father on the hit NBC show “This Is Us.” In this week’s “Sunday Sitdown,” Willie Geist talks to the actor about the huge success of that show, the 13-year grind before landing that breakout role and his emotional connection to his new movie, “Waves.” (Original broadcast date: November 17, 2019)

t's hard to imagine someone who radiates love and positivity as much as Sterling K. Brown. As I entered the room to speak with the "This Is Us" star about his latest film "Waves" for Episode 14 of The Fourth Wall, he was glancing at his phone all giddy, cheering with excitement. Naturally, it being a Saturday, I simply assumed his college football team scored, however, it was something far more heartwarming that spoke to the essence of who he is. Brown was receiving updates on his son's flag football game and got word that his son scored a touchdown. His reaction was the support of a proud father celebrating the achievements of his child as if his team just won the Super Bowl. So yes, I suppose you could say Brown is as family-oriented and fatherly as Randall Pearson makes him out to be. Brown lost his father at a young age, but was so "profoundly affected" and "wholely loved" by him that he anticipated being able to do the same for his own children someday. Being a parent has not only given him a great purpose in life, but it has also influenced how he approaches parental roles in film and television, specifically the character of Ronald in "Waves." Brown spoke to the fact that he strongly understands and empathizes with a father who is scared for the well-being of his children, even when unfortunately making decisions for them out of fear. The actor specifically touched on the pressures of raising a young African American boy in such an unforgiving climate. "You're raising a young Black boy in Florida and you know that life may not be appreciated the same way in the form of a young Black boy that it is appreciated in other people," said Brown. "So you want to keep him safe and more than anything you want to give him the tools to be excellent otherwise people may write him off as being not worth the investment and so you say you gotta be twice as good to get just as far." The actor continued on the unfair pressures of Black excellence and how it should be addressed. "My wife had a very astute observation, so credit to Ryan Michelle Bathe," said Brown. "Real success for a community is when they are given the ability to fail, and other people are still given opportunities after them. The openness and ability to fail and still get a second chance, that feels like a really good place to begin from in terms of what does it mean to move beyond that idea that I have to be twice as good to get just as far." During our conversation, Brown delves deeper into this topic, fatherhood, his own upbringing, wisdom imparted onto him by his children, "Waves'" banger soundtrack, and much more. And yes, Brown's son ended up winning that flag football game. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message

While the news media has created a narrative that often characterizes black men as absentee or deadbeat from the household (statistics dispute this narrative), film and television have, over the years, created many memorable — and very present — father figures. In this week's episode, The Rebeccas will revisit some of the best African American fathers onscreen, from those brought to life as part of the Norman Lear universe (James Evans Sr, George Jefferson) to protective, street-smart pops like Furious Styles to the '90s TV dads like Carl Winslow and (father figure) Uncle Phil. Then, Sterling K. Brown, known for playing Randall Pearson on This is Us, will join the Rebeccas to talk about how being a father himself has influenced his work, his priorities when bringing Randall to life and his new film, Waves, in which he plays a very different type of father figure.”Hollywood Remixed” is a topical, diversity-focused podcast from The Hollywood Reporter, hosted by Rebecca Sun and Rebecca Ford. Each episode will be dedicated to a single theme – a type of character or story that has been traditionally underrepresented or misrepresented in pop culture – and feature a special guest whose latest work exemplifies a new breakthrough in representation. We’ll revisit groundbreaking classics and introduce listeners to hidden gems, in order to better understand how film and television in the past has shaped progress in the present. Hosted by: Rebecca Ford and Rebecca SunProduced by: Matthew Whitehurst and Joshua Farnham

My guest today is one of the most dynamic young people I’ve gotten to know, Ms. Lyric Ross. Now unless you don’t watch TV, I’m sure you’ve heard of my guest’s hit show on NBC This is Us. She plays Deja, a young girl who got caught up in the foster system due to a well meaning but none the less negligent mother (played by yours truly) and ends up in the care of Randall Pearson and his amazing family. Lyric’s performance has garnered her a Teen Choice award and most recently a Screen actors guild award nomination  for outstanding performance by an ensemble. I mean, this girl is the embodiment of pure talent. I’m so glad I got to sit down and talk about her journey being a young artist in this sometimes demanding and uncompromising business.   Find Lyric on IG @LyricNicoleRoss
