However, Hartley, who played <a href="https://www.insider.com/this-is-us-best-underrated-moments-2022-5">Kate's brother on the show,</a> appears to be making phone calls while sitting on the couch in the foreground of the video.

"I would sometimes talk to the guys and think about what was going to happen in the end and what the end would be."When Evans asked Fogelman if fans will be satiated with the way the series ends, he said, "I've written it and I feel very confident that we're going to do what you're asking."Noting that "<keyword id="12745378" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="this-is-us" source="Orion">This Is Us</keyword>" has been a part of his life for over eight years, Fogelman added that they've taken the responsibility of wrapping up the show "very seriously."

Brown, for advice for a specific reason.While 45-year-old Brown hasn't been a teenager in a long time and isn't new to dating, he's very capable of tapping into his emotions on the fly because, according to Baker, he cries "for a living" for his role on the <a href="https://www.insider.com/this-is-us-characters-actors-different-ages-2022-1">hit NBC family drama.</a>"All he does is cry on the show," Baker joked.Baker said that Brown helped her "go there" with her emotions by suggesting that she listen to a song that makes her cry or remember a time in her life that stirs up difficult feelings.She gave as much credit for her performance in the scene to her acting partners in the moment, Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson, who plays Tess' mom Beth. "I feel like a scene is like ping pong, you pass the ball, and you're responding to people in that scene," she said, calling the conversation about Tess's sexuality "a group effort."<div type="image" title="Eris Baker black and white" height="8024" width="5352" msid="89441495" hostid="261"></div>The actor, who is <a href="https://www.bet.com/article/pvmqmp/naacp-image-awards-2022-nominees-anthony-anderson-host-announcement">nominated for an NAACP award</a> for the role this year, was only about 13 years old when she filmed the scene in 2018. She said she was "freaking out" before filming such an important moment in Tess's life, so she took a unique approach to prepare that she had never used before and hasn't used since. "I had a journal and I wrote from Tess's perspective, what she would be thinking in that moment, because that conversation can go one or two ways," Baker told Insider. "And thank gosh, she had a supportive family, but she still has that fear in her mind: 'If I say these words what will be their response, will things change?'"Investing so many of her own emotions had an unexpected effect on Baker. "When they said cut, I was still in the scene. I was breaking down, but as Eris," she said. Cast and crew members knew the weight of the scene and gave her due praise.

'This Is Us' star Eris Baker jokes that she asked Sterling K. Brown for help with Tess Pearson's big coming-out scene because he cries so much on the show

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>There's one mystery on FX show "Louie" that has never really been addressed.
While Louie's ex-wife "Janet" is played by black, Jamaican <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1635244/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t4" target="_blank">actress Susan Kelechi Watson</a>, his two daughters are very white, very blonde little girls. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div> 
Despite leaving viewers guessing about the backstory of the relationships, the race issue has never been fully explained on the show - and that's intentional.
"We play around with ethnicities. Janet is African American, but both of their kids are white and Louie's white so how does that work? Look, it probably doesn't make sense but Louie wanted to cast someone to play his on-screen ex-wife who was unlike <a href="http://starcasm.net/archives/103065" target="_blank">his real ex-wife</a>," casting director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0445632/" target="_blank">Gayle Keller</a> tells Business Insider. "He didn't want that much reality in this show."
But the race of the actress wasn't necessarily a premeditated decision, Louis just thought Watson was the best person for the part.
"We auditioned people who were African American and white, we auditioned both," explains Keller. "We didn't limit ourselves to someone who was just Caucasian. Louis just felt that the woman who we cast [Watson] was best for the part and she happened to be African American and he didn't care about that. He didn't feel like he had to explain that in any way and have two Caucasian children and an African American wife." <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0445632/" target="_blank"></a>
Watson talked to <a href="http://www.essence.com/2012/10/23/new-and-next-meet-actress-and-louie-star-susan-kelechi-watson/" target="_blank">Essence magazine</a> in 2012 of her confusion during the audition process: 
"I'd seen the show before I auditioned so I knew the kids on the show. And they were White. So when I go into the audition I say, 'I don't know what part I'm auditioning for but I know it can't be his wife because I've seen his kids.' They were like, 'Okay, we're just gonna press record.' After I got the role I was still thinking it can't be to play his ex-wife, maybe his friend, but not the ex-wife. I just thought it was hilarious, and that Louis [C.K.] was kind of brilliant for casting it that way."
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image"></div></div>In 2012, Louis C.K. told Jimmy Kimmel: "If the character works for the show, I don't care about the race. When a black woman tells you to get a job, it's just more … " he added, trailing off with a laugh.
To make matters more confusing on the show, the "Janet" character was played by white actress <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1318410/" target="_blank">Brooke Bloom</a> in a season 4 <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/05/understanding-that-flashback-on-louie/371665/" target="_blank">flashback sequence</a>.
Casting director Keller says she auditioned African American, Caucasian, and Asian actresses for the flashback role.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image"></div></div>
"Ethnicity is not what was important for that role," says Keller. "It was more about the fact that we wanted someone who just understood the character immediately. All of the actors who come in to audition go on tape and they only get the material when they get to the audition. Everything is a cold reading because Louis likes when actors are not that prepared and forced to go with their instincts." 
At the end of the latest season 4, Louie's very candid new girlfriend, played by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0781899/" target="_blank">Pamela Adlon</a>, finally asks the question on everyone's minds, pointing out, "those kids can't come from that woman."<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image"></div></div>
Louie vaguely responds by saying that Janet is biracial, giving no real explanation for his very white children.
"I think Pamela's character, who she is as a person, to get into a relationship with Louie and see the children and see the ex-wife, she has the tenacity as a character to ask that question," says Keller. "That's just who she is and she's not going to let that go by without commenting about it." 
While writer Dustin Rowles <a href="http://www.pajiba.com/think_pieces/the-fascinating-racial-component-of-louie.php" target="_blank">says</a> Louis C.K. is "just f------ with us" when it comes to the interchangeable races of roles, Watson, who plays "Janet" on the show, told <a href="http://www.essence.com/2012/10/23/new-and-next-meet-actress-and-louie-star-susan-kelechi-watson/" target="_blank">Essence</a>:
"I think people have found it to be a lot like what Louis' been saying all along. If you follow the show you understand that there's no real continuity, and that Louis is a bit of a maverick in terms of not having any allegiance to doing something one way. People see it and go, 'What? This makes no sense.' And then they go, 'Oh, that's 'cause we're watching Louis.' And they take it with a grain of salt.
I think it's remarkable because for so long we've been saying we just want to see each other as human beings. Our culture is very important, of course, but this feels like a moment where someone has said, 'Your culture is irrelevant at this moment. It's more about whether you feel like you're right for this role and what you're bringing to it.
