Save Your Soul,” as well as his voice roles in the animated films “The Angry Birds Movie 2” and “Frozen II.” Sterling had supporting roles in several critically acclaimed films such as “Marshall,” “Black Panther,” “Waves,” and “American Fiction,” for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
