Like I can feel like... The eyeballs.

I'm like, oh God, pull together.

And it was a long speech of all that.

And finally it finished.

I'm like, oh, thank God.

I got my breath back.

And then he goes, let's do it one more time.

Oh, no.

And thankfully gave him some notes that like ended up...

pitching him away and then they cast him probably out of sympathy for that and he was quite good but boy that first swing I and that is the only time I have ever completely come unglued in the casting room can I ask you a more personal question yes can you if you're willing to share maybe how the show and working on the show influenced your own personal life in terms of your decision to become a parent yeah yeah

So I had always wanted to be a dad.

And my sister's adopted, so adoption is not a new concept to our family.

It's something that works.

But I always thought I had to have a partner.

I was like, oh, I can't do a hard thing by myself.

And finally, I realized all the hard things I'd done by myself.

And I went, okay, and started to sort of mull on it.

And very quickly...

things came together.

And in the process also, This Is Us affected so many things.
