DA: Can you give us a synopsis of “this is Us”? For our readers who are still new to the show... lS:

For those who are new to the show, “This Is Us” follows the lives of the Pearson family and jumps back and forth from present day to the past, telling a generational story that is comprised of love, heartbreak, happiness, and everything in between.

at the time of my audition, “This Is Us” wasn’t yet the show that it is today. It was something new and different. I felt the writing was incredible and the opportunity to work with Dan Fogelman was additionally enticing. Funny enough, I almost didn’t make it. It’s a good thing I did because they cast the part the next day.
