Emmy Winning Actor Sterling K. Brown Is Set To Guest Star In An Episode Of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'

Sterling K. Brown

Sterling K. Brown, the Emmy-winning actor, is set to guest star in an episode of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE on FOX later this year. Brown will appear as Philip Davidson, a murder suspect who undergoes an all-night interrogation carried out by Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Captain Holt (Andre Braugher). 

This role holds a special place in Brown’s heart as he won the Emmy for lead actor in a drama series for, This is Us, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE star Andre Braugher was one of the first people he thanked, as he was the last African American actor to win the award almost 20 years prior to, Homicide. He is set for one episode and no date has been announced yet but the show will return to FOX this spring.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE now in its fifth season is a cop comedy following Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher) as he takes over Brooklyn's 99th precinct. While there, he gets tangled up with Detective Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), who was recently taken off the field after the birth of his twin girls; amongst others (Melissa Fumero, Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti).

ABOUT BROOKLYN NINE-NINE

From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur (“Parks and Recreation”), BROOKLYN NINE-NINE won the 2014 Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical (Samberg). Braugher recently earned his third consecutive Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Holt’s next-in-command is Sergeant TERRY JEFFORDS (Terry Crews), a muscle-bound human mountain who loves nothing more than his three little daughters, except for a fresh carton of full-fat yogurt. The man loves yogurt. Jake’s fellow detectives include his girlfriend, AMY SANTIAGO (Melissa Fumero); his best friend and human puppy-dog, Detective CHARLES BOYLE (Joe Lo Truglio); and the incredibly secretive, tough-as-nails Detective ROSA DIAZ (Stephanie Beatriz). Holt’s civilian assistant is GINA LINETTI (Chelsea Peretti), the living embodiment of the “100” emoji. Rounding out the precinct’s staff are veteran officers Detective SCULLY (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Detective HITCHCOCK (Dirk Blocker), whose only skill as police officers is their ability to make a passable pot of coffee.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE is produced by Universal Television, 3 Arts Entertainment, Fremulon and Dr. Goor Productions. The series was created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The series is executive-produced by Goor, Schur, David Miner and Luke Del Tredici.
