Sterling K. Brown praised by ‘This Is Us’ fans following emotional season premiere: ‘Engrave his Emmy now’

Sterling K. Brown’s acting skills were praised by ‘This Is Us’ fans after the Season 5 premiere.

The 44-year-old’s character, Randall, engages in an intense fight with Justin Hartley’s character, Kevin, as he begins to question if he even has the same birthday as him and their sister Kate, played by Chrissy Metz.

As they all deal with the coronavirus pandemic, Brown’s character falls into a deep depression after hearing about the death of George Floyd and the racial reckoning that followed the May 25 police-involved shooting.

In a conversation with his adoptive daughter Dejah’s boyfriend, Malik, Randall recalls an instance of police brutality he witnessed as a child, the case of Jonny E. Gammage who died of suffocation while an officer kneeled on his neck and held him down with a baton, according to the Associated Press.
