While we’ve grown attached to the Pearsons over six unforgettable seasons, it’s easy to overlook what the talented actors behind these characters look like in real life—and how tall they really are. From red carpet appearances to standout shoe choices, here’s a closer look at the cast of This Is Us, both on and off screen.

Mandy Moore Steps Into the Spotlight as Rebecca Pearson

Rebecca Pearson, the matriarch of the Pearson family, has worked tirelessly to bring her relatives closer, although her dreams of becoming a well-known singer were never realized.

Mandy Moore portrayed Rebecca at different stages of her life, including present-day, pregnant, and pre-Jack Rebecca, when the focus was on her finding a spouse.

The Candy singer has established herself as a remarkable artist in music and acting. In 2002, she won an MTV Movie Award for her debut performance in A Walk to Remember.

The American singer is blissfully married to Taylor Goldsmith, a musician for the indie group Dawes. After more than two years of dating, they married in November 2018. Mandy announced on Instagram in February 2021 that the couple had given birth to a son, August “Gus” Harrison. Their second son, Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett Goldsmith, was born on October 21, 2022.

Mandy Moore attended the 2nd Annual HCA TV Awards in Beverly Hills on August 13, 2022, dressed in a stunning floral-print caped dress from Rodarte’s Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection.

The dress featured a mock turtle neckline and a graceful cape detail across the shoulder and was paired with black Gianvito Rossi Bijoux 105 leather sandals and simple rings.

Kevin Michael Erikson styled Moore for the event, where she was honored with the Virtuoso Award, which recognizes her outstanding career as an actress. She expressed gratitude and disbelief at receiving the award in her acceptance speech.

Milo Ventimiglia’s Stylish Portrayal of Jack Pearson

Milo Ventimiglia starred as Jack Pearson, one of TV’s most adored fathers. To become the wonderful family man we witnessed until his untimely passing in season two, he survived an awful, abusive father and his alcohol problems.

Standing at the height of 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm), in a 2016 interview, he was quoted as saying, “In Hollywood, usually people are pretty matched up. But Jared [Padalecki] is 6-foot-4, I’m 5-foot-10”.

However, in an earlier AOL chat, he mentioned his height as “I don’t know. I am 5’9″.”

In the fall of 2016, Milo Ventimiglia began his role as Jack Pearson, the patriarch of a middle-class family in 1980s/1990s America, in the highly praised NBC period drama series “This Is Us,” opposite Mandy Moore (Credit: NBC)

“I work out, I run and tend to get stiff; yoga stretches me out. I’m 5ft 9in and think, ‘Five eleven would be nice – just two more inches!’ I think yoga adds one-and-a-half,” he told the Daily Mail about his height.

The American actor made his television acting debut in 1995 on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, played the main character in the short series Opposite Sex in 2000, and then landed his breakout performance as Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls the following year.

Milo Ventimiglia married Jarah Mariano in a private ceremony in 2023. The couple, who started dating rumors in 2022, held a small wedding attended by family and close friends. Ventimiglia, who has always been private about his personal life, has strived to stay “invisible” in his personal life to keep the focus on his characters and acting.

Neglected at birth, Randall eventually found a loving adoptive home with the Pearson family. As a grown-up, he became dedicated, generous, and humorous.
