This Is Us Reunion Photos Feature A Pearson Family Hug At Star’s Real-Life Graduation

Summary Three This Is Us actors reunited to attend co-star Niles Fitch's graduation.

Niles Fitch graduated from the University of California.

Scenes between Fitch as teen Randall and Ventimiglia's Jack were standout moments in the show.

Three stars from This Is Us reunite at the graduation of star Niles Fitch, who played the teenage Randall Pearson. One of the aspects of the family drama that helped it become such a resonant hit when it originally aired on NBC is that it told the story of the Pearson family through several generations. Fitch, playing the teenage version of Sterling K. Brown's Randall Pearson, got to share plenty of screen time with on-screen dad Milo Ventimiglia.

As shared by PEOPLE, Ventimiglia and Fitch reunited at Fitch's recent graduation from the University of California. Hannah Zelie, who played the teenage Kate Pearson, also attended the ceremony.

It made an impact on not just the viewers, but the actors as well, as they're still supporting each other long after filming on the series had wrapped.

This Is Us is largely remembered for the adult lives of Randall, Kate (Chrissy Metz), and Kevin (Justin Hartley), but the show is defined just as much by what the younger set of actors brought to their roles, particularly Fitch, Zellie, and Logan Shroyer, who played the teenaged Kevin. This is especially evident as the series grew more established, with scenes of Ventimiglia's Jack Pearson helping Randall figure out his future and help him decide on a college.

While the adult versions of Kevin, Kate, and Randall were flawed in specific ways, helping to inform how they were impacted by the loss of Jack at such a young age, their scenes before that sparked optimism and a genuine fondness. Fitch, who has since starred in the drama film The Fallout opposite Jenna Ortega, in addition to the Netflix horror comedy movie We Have A Ghost, shined in those scenes with his co-stars Ventimiglia, Zellie, Shroyer, and Mandy Moore, who played Rebecca Pearson.

This is partly the difficulty of a This Is Us revival and why it's unlikely to happen. The show already covered so much of that ground, showing the characters' evolution and growth. It made an impact on not just the viewers, but the actors as well, as they're still supporting each other long after filming on the series had wrapped.
