American actor Sterling K. Brown has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including three Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a nomination for an Academy Award.
Brown's breakthrough performance as attorney Christopher Darden in The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story (2016) won him the Critics' Choice and Primetime Emmy and earned him nominations for the Golden Globe and SAG Award for Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries or Movie. His portrayal of Randall Pearson in NBC's This Is Us (2016–2022) won him the Critics' Choice, Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy and SAG Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, as well as another two SAG Awards as part of the series' ensemble cast.[1] His win of the Emmy made him the first actor in a broadcast television series to win the award in a decade and the first African-American winner in 19 years.[2][3][4] He was also the first African-American to win the Golden Globe[5] and SAG Award.[6]
Brown received additional Emmy nominations for This Is Us, as well as for guest starring in Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2018) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2020), and won Outstanding Narrator in 2021 for narrating Lincoln: Divided We Stand. With his nine Emmy nominations, Brown is one of few actors to be nominated across all three performance (lead, supporting, guest) and genre (comedy, drama, limited series or movie) categories, as well as for narrating. For his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Panther (2018), Brown won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Brown's portrayal of a middle aged gay man in Cord Jefferson's comedy-drama film American Fiction (2023) earned him nominations for the Academy Award, Critics' Choice, Independent Spirit and SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor.
