Sterling K. Brown

More about Roland Burton

Sterling K. Brown, a native of St. Louis, is a graduate of New York’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned a master’s of fine arts. One of his first productions upon graduation was “The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui,” starring Al Pacino. Brown has starred in numerous theater productions in his career, most recently in “Macbeth” in Central Park opposite Liev Schreiber.

On television, prior to “Army Wives,” Brown was a series regular in the FX comedy “Starved.” A few of his other television credits include guest-starring and recurring roles on “Eli Stone,” “Without a Trace,” “Boston Legal,” “Supernatural,” “Alias” and “Third Watch.” Brown’s feature film credits include “Righteous Kill,” “Stay,” “Trust the Man” and “Brown Sugar.”
A brilliant psychiatrist and loving husband, Roland chose to forgo a lucrative private practice to spend his life with Lieutenant Colonel Joan Burton, a dedicated military woman. But he’s tried to still remain focus on having a career. He’s worked as a top doctor at Fort Marshall's Mercer Army Medical Center, as well as serving as a substitute teacher (and unofficially as a guidance counselor) for the school on post.

But everything has changed for Roland recently. He’s now ready to put his ambitions aside again, only this time it’s not for his wife, but for his new daughter, Sarah Elizabeth. Roland makes the decision to be a stay-at-home dad to raise his child. But things may be even harder than he anticipated, dealing with wife Joan's issues with PTSD.
