Sterling K. Brown Made Hannah line appreciate the show

• Sterling K. Brown told Hannah Zeile that she really “appreciated” her time in the “This Is Us” set.
• “Everyone is just together, really like each other,” line insiders said.
• The 24-year-old said her parents had “wisdom to offer” on the screens of Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore.

“This Is Us” star Hannah Zeile worked as a cashier at Chipotle as she auditioned for the role of teenager Kate Pearson. She was 18 and had decided to return to the actress after doing some when she was younger. Her first audition back was for the NBC drama – and the rest, of course, is history.

“I was too spoiled for choice that this was my first experience,” Zeile said during an interview with Insider in late February.

“I remember Sterling talking to me and saying, ‘Really hate this because you rarely find such a family,'” she continued, referring to Sterling K. Brown, who is the adult Randall. Pearson plays in the family drama.

“Everyone is just together, in fact love each other. We all work towards the same goal and we all love what we do,” she continued. Line called the “This Is Us” cast “a well-oiled machine” of actors who just want to “create something beautiful.”

“I remember he told me, ‘This is rare, remember this feeling,'” the 24-year-old said. “And so I really just broadened my perspective and realized how cool it is that I have to be a part of this.”

Line says she established an “eternal relationship” with Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore

Zeile does not often get the chance to deal with Brown or Chrissy Metz – who plays Zeile’s character Kate in her 30s and older – because the structure of “This Is Us” traces the same characters through different decades. But she’s hit the jackpot when it comes to on-screen parents with Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore – and she knows it.

“They’re just very, very good people,” line insiders said. She said Ventimiglia and Moore “have so much wisdom to offer” because of how long they have worked in the entertainment industry. (Ventimiglia is best known as Jess on the WB hit “Gilmore Girls”, and Moore’s song “Candy” was released at the age of 15.)

“But they never make it as if they’re trying to talk to me,” Zeile continued.

“I really only learn from being around them, and from looking at them the way they behave,” she said. “When it’s all over, if I ever needed anything, they make it very clear that this is an everlasting relationship we have created and that they will always be there.”

Line says Ventimiglia and Moore also gave their valuable acting tips

“Even though she said she learns the most by watching them, the line recalls a very important acting course she received from Ventimiglia during a pivotal scene between Jack and Kate in the second episode of season two called” A Manny-Splendored Thing “.

In the scene, Jack tells Kate that he is an alcoholic. “Of course, I actually did not have much dialogue in that scene,” Zeile said. But she still remembers that Venimiglia gave her “such simple advice.”

“He just said, ‘Really just hear what Jack is saying. Really just listen,'” she explained, noting that even in scenes where the actors do not have many lines, they can sometimes think too far ahead, because they know what is in the scriptures.

The line said that Ventimiglia’s advice helped her to convey exactly what Kate was thinking and feeling in those moments through her facial expressions alone.

What she learned from Moore, the line said, is that she rarely had specific conversations about her craft, although she sometimes did small exercises such as conversations in character just before the cameras started rolling.

“I’m just watching her and I’m so impressed and inspired by her process and how amazing she is,” she said. “I just appreciate how much she really, really cares. She knows Rebecca very well and cares about the work that makes her so passionate.”

The last season of “This Is Us” airs on Tuesday at 9pm ET on NBC.
