This week, a special guest joins us for the rewatch of Season 3, Episode 11: Songbird Road Part 1... Griffin Dunne AKA Nicky! Griffin chats with Mandy, Chris, and Sterling about what it was like landing the role of Nicky, how much This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman told Griffin about Nicky's arc for the rest of the series, and what it felt like for Griffin to delve into those deeply emotional places with his character. Plus, everyone discusses the storyline in this episode, including how Rebecca felt discovering Jack's lie, the tragic event that happened to Nicky in Vietnam, and how the Big Three feel finally finding their Uncle after all this time. That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions.
