In 2018, Sterling K. Brown won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in this drama TV series, making him the first Black man to win this category in the ceremony's 75-year history.
Almost completely broke when she landed the role of Kate on the series, Chrissy Metz only had 81 cents in her bank account when she auditioned for the series.
Mandy Moore is the youngest actor in the main cast despite playing the mother of Randall, Kate and Kevin.
Although still appearing youthful, it took 3 hours of make-up to transform Mandy Moore into the older Rebecca for all of the current-day scenes. In reality, Mandy is 8 years younger than Sterling K. Brown, 7 years younger than Justin Hartley and 4 years younger than Chrissy Metz, who play her children.
