Sterling K. Brown can give one heck of a speech. During the Golden Globes on Sunday night, the This Is Us actor took a moment to talk about representation in Hollywood when he accepted his first win for best actor in a drama. After making sure he thanked his wife, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Brown took a moment to thank This Is Us creator and writer Dan Fogelman for writing his beloved character, Randall Pearson.
