Why Sterling K. Brown Wanted to Narrate CNN’s Lincoln Documentary

By Fahima Haque February 13, 2021

Sterling K. Brown, an actor who has starred on the hit NBC drama “This Is Us” since 2016, has won multiple Emmys, Screen Actors Guild awards, a Golden Globe, and an NAACP Image Award for his acting. But over the course of his successful career, Mr. Brown has asked himself, “What is my responsibility?”

A desire to do more was precisely what drew Mr. Brown to two upcoming projects. He will join the cast of Will Smith’s Netflix documentary exploring the 14th Amendment, and he has narrated a six-part documentary series premiering this weekend on CNN. In a phone conversation, I talked with Mr. Brown about the documentary, “Lincoln: Divided We Stand,” which analyzes Lincoln’s legacy. Read the interview HERE.
