EntertainmentThisIsUs Biography

American television series about the family lives and connections of several people who all share the same birthday (31 August 1980) and the ways in which they are similar and different. The ensemble cast stars Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, and Ron Cephas Jones. In 2017, the series received ten Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series with Brown winning for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. The series follows siblings Kate (Metz), Kevin (Hartley) and Randall (Brown) as their lives intertwine. Kate and Kevin were originally part of a triplet pregnancy, conceived in the bathroom of Froggys, a bar, during Super Bowl XIV. Their due date was 12 October 1980, but they were born six weeks early on 31 August; their biological brother was stillborn. Their parents, Jack (Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Moore), having expected to bring home three babies, decide to adopt another newborn: Randall, a black child born the same day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father abandoned him at a fire station. Episodes weave through the stories of the past and present of the characters, with most scenes taking place in 1980, 1989–1995, and the present day (2016–2017). Flashback scenes take place in Pittsburgh, while current scenes are typically split between Los Angeles, New Jersey, and New York City. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
