Karla Mosley shares something in common with Hollywood actor Sterling K. Brown. She took to social media to unveil her unique warmup technique, which she uses to prepare for her dramatic role on Beyond The Gates.
From The Gates To The Oval Office
This week, Mosley shared a clip of her technique on Instagram. She revealed that she has something in common with the star of Hulu’s breakout hit, Paradise. In her video, Mosley sang into the camera. “I used to dream that I would discover the perfect lover,” she sang to her fans. Performing songs from famous musicals helps her warm-up for the role of Dani Dupree.
“I thought I was the only one to use random theater songs to prep for scenes! (This is the song Bill from Show Boat),” Mosley wrote in the caption. Lo and behold, she’s not the only actor who does this. She included a clip of Brown’s interview on Late Night With Stephen Colbert. Brown also relies on musical warm-ups to help him take on the challenging role of Secret Service agent Xavier Collins.
“Is it true that you and your costar, James Marsden, who’s great in this. Is it true that when you get downtime on set, you, like, do duets together?” Colbert asked. “He likes to sing, and he’ll hear me just sort of humming something. I only do the melody,” Brown admitted. His co-star, Marsden, embraces his inner theater kid. He’ll break out into song no matter what’s happening.
Warming Up For Tough Roles
Colbert asked Brown to share some of his favorite warmup songs. The actor shared that Black men like him aren’t supposed to like musicals, but he doesn’t care. He admitted that singing songs from musicals helps him channel his emotions. The audience roared in applause. (Find out more facts about the former This Is Us star.)

During these tumultuous times, your musical interlude reminded me how amazing we human beings are. ❤️❤️❤️” Mosley responded, “❤” Meanwhile, other fans were shocked by Mosley’s hidden talent. Another user commented, “ANOTHER talent?! Dang, all these gifts living in one body. Somebody wasn’t playing fair when they made you.”
