Sterling K. Brown’s role as Randall in the beloved series This is Us practically made him a household name. But the actor went to Stanford to study economics with the intention of working in finance. As you’ll hear in Tom Power’s conversation with Sterling, the pull of acting was too strong and he eventually transitioned to doing it full time. They discuss how he went from finance to acting, his mother’s impact on him and his role as a secret service agent on the series Paradise.
