STERLING K. BROWN AS PHILIP DAVIDSON FOR (“THE BOX”) IN “BROOKLYN NINE-NINE”

This is the first and second nomination for Sterling K. Brown. He was previously nominated for The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (2016).

Since Sterling broke out as Darden two years ago he has seemingly become an overnight sensation and go to actor for greatness on television. While I personally have not watched an episode of This is Us I appreciate his work on the show as well as the rare leading actor of colour. His guest turn on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a surprise this tv season where he able to easily enter this universe fit in and in some ways blow the regular cast away. He played a role which wasn’t about obvious humour and more about his special delivery making each punchline land. He showed yet again why he has become such a favourite to many people out there. This is a true guest turn that doesn’t promise a return but is still something I’ll take from this year’s season.
