With a hit TV series, awards, plus film and TV opportunities, Sterling K. Brown admits he’s experienced “a lot of pinch me moments” in recent years. But, with all those possibilities and offers, the “This is Us’’ star has also learned a very important lesson— how to say no.
The 43-year-old says it’s not an ungrateful no, but a “no, with integrity.”
One opportunity he did carve out time for is the buzzed-about drama “Waves,” directed by Trey Edward Shults, and out Friday.
