ATLANTA — Sterling K. Brown is best known for his dramatic turn for six seasons as earnest Randall Pearson on "This is Us."
So it's a revelation to watch him play Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs in the new Atlanta-based film "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul," which comes out Friday on the Peacock streaming service and in movie theaters. Brown gets to strut his stuff as a man who has embraced the prosperity gospel, a philosophy where financial blessing and physical well-being are considered the will of God.
He dances around in Prada suits, punches the air like Ali and swims in a fancy pool with his wife and First Lady Trinitie Childs, played by comedy vet Regina Hall.
