Niles, can you walk us through the process of how you got on This Is Us? Like your audition process, what you knew about the show, because we've talked to Logan and Hannah and- the audience is aware that like we did shoot a sort of younger version of the teenage big three.

And then they realized that there wasn't enough of a jump between the young version and what, because your characters had to sort of like live through Jack passing away. And so it just, it wasn't going to work age wise. So you guys had to kind of like jump in very last minute. What was the process like?

Yeah, my process. So I originally auditioned when the show before it even came out. So I believe Dan was in the final meetings, but it was me and like a bunch of kids that were Lonnie McKenzie's Parker age. And I'm 14 at the time. So I'm looking around and I'm like, OK, this probably isn't going to go my way.

So then maybe three months later, out of the blue, I get a call to come in, you know, audition. I audition on a Thursday after school. The next day I'm getting out of class. I get a call saying that I booked it and I need to be ready to do wardrobe the next day because we film Saturday and Sunday. So it happened in less than two days.

And then I'm coming on set and Milo's like, oh, we have a lot in store for you guys. And I'm looking like, you know, to me, this is a one episode thing. And one episode turned into six years of my life.

I had no idea, especially because I hopped on and they said that it was potential to be a guest star.

I think it was only a guest star at that point. Wow. And, you know, here we are. And then we were reoccurring and then series regulars. Wow. It happened so quick. And I was only in L.A. for six months prior to that.
