The cast of This Is Us are just as close to their own families as their characters were on the NBC drama series. "[Playing a mom has] shown me that maybe I am not as patient as I thought I was," Mandy Moore, who portrayed matriarch Rebecca Pearson, exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2019, noting that she learned how to change a diaper during the show's first season. "But maybe it will be different when it's your own children." Moore shares three kids - sons Gus and Ozzie and daughter Louise - with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith.
