"He's very congenial," Chrissy Metz told ET's Leanne Aguilera at Monday's For Your Consideration event in Hollywood, California. "“He came in the makeup trailer, and he’s talking, he’s making jokes and he basically knows [co-star] Chris [Sullivan]'s entire resume. It was so cute… He knows people’s names, and he just cares and that’s super cool ‘cause he's a busy guy.”
This Is Us premieres Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
