Sterling K. Brown Incredible Storytime!
Disney fans know Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu in Black Panther and Mattias in Frozen II.
But right now parents who need a little bit of a respite in the early evening are calling Mr. Brown “hero” for his timely storytime read.
Yesterday, the golden-voiced actor read. The Incredibles “Little Golden Book”:
BTW: His voices are the best part of the video.
But for many, many people Sterling’s chance to “vocalize” in major motion pictures makes the real difference.
Representation matters.
And of his work in Black Panther and Frozen II, Cinemablend posted:
Sterling K. Brown chatted with the amazing Laura Dern for Variety‘s Actors on Actors series, and he talked about Frozen 2 including a major character of color:
I love that there’s a character of color in this world of Arendelle. I think for such a long time black folks have had to wonder, ‘what would it be like to have someone like me in this show, what would it be like to be Superman or Batman.’ And then you get Black Panther. Now, we have this character, Lieutenant Mattias, who I get the chance to vocalize, and I have a little action figure and Legos, and I’m like, ‘Ah, it’s really happening.’
And, if you’re like me, you want more of Sterlin’s dulcet tones.
So, check out this video from Disney Animation. Mr. Brown records a Mattias clip.
