It has been two years since This Is Us ended its run on NBC. Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, and Chris Sullivan loved working together on the family drama so much that they created the podcast That Was Us to talk about their time on the set.
Today, they asked Milo Ventimiglia to join them. While he was there, he and his TV wife recreated a photo they took.
Back then, Moore was fake pregnant, but now she really is. I find it interesting to see the difference in her shape. Granted, on the show, she was having triplets. In real life, she is experiencing her third pregnancy.
Now that I mentioned that, can we talk about the fact that they don’t age? Maybe they are stuck in a time loop because they played their characters in different eras of their lives.
Ron Cephas Jones “has passed away at the age of 66 due to a long-standing pulmonary issue,” his representatives told People. “Throughout the course of his career, his warmth, beauty, generosity, kindness and heart were felt by anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him.”
Cephas Jones had been acting for over 30 years but found his biggest success in 2016 when he landed the role of Randall’s biological father on This Is Us. He earned two Emmies for his portrayal of William Hill.
Along with those statues, he was nominated for a 2022 Tony Award for his role in Lynn Nottage’s play Clyde’s.
The actor is survived by his daughter Jasmine Cephas Jones.
Last week, Susan Kelechi Watson hung out with her This Is Us mother-in-law Mandy Moore and sister-in-law Chrissy Metz. This week, she caught up with her TV husband, Sterling K. Brown.
Seeing Beth and Randall looking as in love as they did on the tear-inducing drama proves to me R&B got their happy ending. So how do you think their story ended?
It has been over a year since This Is Us ended, and I still miss watching it. However, we got a little fix because Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore, and Susan Kelechi Watson got together for lunch.
Now we know their chemistry was real and not make believe for the cameras. And that is why we loved the show because it felt like we were watching our friends and not a bunch of actors.
On that note, when are going to see the men of This Is Us together again?
I have watched Jon Huertas on Castle and This Is Us. And I just learned something new about the actor. He can sing.
Huertas shared a video of himself singing a mashup of Harry Styles’ As It Was and aha’s Take On Me with his vocal coach, and his sweet voice blew me away.
Why hasn’t anyone exploited him for his singing? Imagine the duets we could’ve gotten from him and Mandy Moore. They literally would’ve made beautiful music together. Such a missed opportunity.
