It’s going to be hard for anyone asked to list Sterling K. Brown’s qualities not to start with his integrity. It’s right there, on full display. It’s impressive, and it’s genuine. It’s an obvious first choice, but I’m going to be brave and admit that his charisma would be tops for me. I mean, get real, everybody.

Yes, we should acknowledge his incredible acting performances. Of course we should celebrate his Stanford-certified intellect. And he appears to be an incredible father and husband—but, charming people senseless is also good for the world. It’s not frivolous or trivial; it’s the zest of life! And Sterling is handing out buckets.

I’m honored to have worked with Sterling and humbled to call him a friend. And I am sorry for the dozens of unhinged voice memos I’ve left him in regard to Paradise. It won’t happen again (until next season).
