The hit NBC family drama This Is Us is about halfway through airing its final season, much to the dismay of loyal fans who have loved the show for six years. Many viewers count on it as a way to get in an occasional cry or have a moment of catharsis, thanks to the incredibly relatable storylines for people of all ages.
An ensemble cast of six actors appears in every single episode of the show, but there are several actors around them in almost as many episodes who play some of the most beloved family members, friends, or even younger versions of the big three. Take a look at these supporting actors and how beloved they are by fans on Instagram.
Caitlin Thompson (60.3K Followers)
Caitlin Thompson plays Madison, who has really grown as a character in the last six years since her first appearance in Kate's meeting. The woman who was at first Kate's nemesis became her best friend and is now the independent mother of Kevin's twins.
Not only is Caitlin the talented actress bringing Madison to life, but many fans know she is also married to Dan Fogelman, the show's creator and showrunner. Caitlin clearly has major love for the show. Her IG is full of This Is Us content for fans to enjoy, and also includes sweet pictures of her own little one, which surely connects to what a wonderful on-screen mom she is.
Ron Cephas Jones (65.2K Followers)
Ron Cephas Jones tugged at viewers' heartstrings as the one and only William Hill, Randall's birth father. His incredible performance is such a huge part of what makes season one of This Is Us so special.
His Instagram account makes him seem just as lovable. Since he is not regularly appearing on the show, there is not a ton of This Is Us on his page if that is what fans are looking for, but he posts very sweet and personal content, shots of his TV with what he is watching or appearances of his, and his captions have a William-like poetic feel to them.
Lyric Ross (65.5K Followers)
As the one and only Deja Pearson, Lyric Ross gives some of the most incredible performances on the show, and she has certainly been a fan-favorite character introduced after This Is Us season 1. Viewers love seeing how Deja has grown.
It's clear from her content that Lyric is just as lovable as Deja in real life. Her personality shines through every photo. She shares lots of content about the show, even though she does not post all that often. Her account shares sweet behind-the-scenes moments and it seems clear that she and Sterling K Brown have a similar bond to Randall and Deja.
Hannah Zeile (89.7K Followers)
In flashbacks to the 17-year-old through early adulthood big three, Hannah Zeile plays the incredible Kate Pearson and does an amazing job doing so. It's incredible how she captures the moodier essence of Chrissy Metz's Kate.
Hannah seems to have a very fun Instagram account for fans to follow. It's clear from this photo and caption that she has a great personality, and she posts several cool shots of her in neat outfits and striking different poses. She shares promo and love for the show here and there but mostly seems to be a 24-year-old living her best life.
Eris Baker (90K Followers)
Fans of This Is Us have seen Eris Baker grow up on the show while playing Tess Pearson. She does a wonderful job bringing to life the story of a young woman who is coming out and coming of age, proud of who she is, and educating those around her. Baker's performance helps to make Tess a This Is Us side character with main character energy.
Eris does not seem to use social media too much. Either that, or she recently reset her account, because she only has twelve posts. She clearly loves her role on the show because a quarter of these posts are This Is Us related. Beyond that, she has pictures of glamorous premiere outfits and other stylized looks for photoshoots.
Faithe Herman (97.4K Followers)
Much like her on-screen sister, Faithe Herman has grown up on This Is Us before fans' eyes as the adorable Annie Pearson. She has so many lovable moments and cute jokes as the youngest Pearson child who helps Randall and Beth stay sane.
Faithe Herman is very active on Instagram, which isn't surprising for a 14-year-old. She shares lots of fun content about her acting projects, including This Is Us, and shares many other adventures too. She recently participated in the Disney Dreamers Academy event, and her onscreen sister Eris even commented "SO PRETTY" in a sweet show of affection.
Logan Shroyer (140K Followers)
Logan Shroyer is perfectly cast as the 17-year-old/young adult Kevin Pearson. It is eery how much he seems like a young version of Justin Hartley. He really captures Kevin's character fully.
Fans who explore Logan's Instagram will notice that he loves sharing content promoting his projects, which of course includes This Is Us, which he has prominently displayed in his bio. One of the latest pieces he's shared promotes a music video in which he plays a character struggling with alcohol addiction, oddly similar to his work as a young Kevin Pearson.
Niles Fitch (151K Followers)
This Is Us fans know Niles Fitch as the young adult Randall Pearson. It's not easy to be attached to such a fan-favorite character and performance, but Niles portrays young Randall with grace and ease.
His Instagram makes it obvious that he has some pretty loyal fans. The number of followers is pretty high, and his posts feature several selfies or portraits of him simply captured with heart emojis. While he will occasionally post something related to This Is Us like a clip or some fan art, he mostly seems to share other moments from his life and some cool outfits with his fans.
Jon Huertas (167K Followers)
The incredibly talented Jon Huertas plays Miguel, who has been quite a controversial character for This Is Us fans over the years. While some have supported Miguel and Rebecca finding each other from the beginning, others have been skeptical.
Giving viewers a better understanding of Miguel is one of the ways This Is Us has improved. The final season in particular is telling a lot more of the story of how Miguel and Rebecca ended up together, hopefully changing some hearts and getting Jon more credit for his amazing performance. Fans really should follow him on Instagram, and clearly many are. He posts so much content about the show, including this hilarious video with a filter as he gets his older Miguel makeup off.
Asante Blackk (409K Followers)
Fans love Malik played by Asante Blackk on This Is Us. This is saying a lot because Deja is so beloved and fans know she deserves only the best. He is such an emotionally intelligent soul and Asante brings him to life beautifully.
While Asante has the highest number of followers compared to many of his costars, he only has two posts at the moment. While it is unclear if he recently got the account or perhaps removed his older content, fans can follow him in the hopes of seeing more from him as the final season finishes up.
