Question: This Is Us is a really good show and appointment TV for us. One of the things that I find most interesting is how much the actress playing the teenage Kate resembles the grown-up Kate played by Chrissy Metz. Are the two actresses related? I couldn’t find the name of the teenager. — Faye
Matt Roush: The casting really is sensational on this series, especially when it comes to finding young actors of various ages to reflect earlier versions of Kate, Kevin and Randall. I hope it wins an Emmy in that category next year. To answer your question, the teenage Kate is played
by Hannah Zeile, no relation to Chrissy Metz — though Hannah’s dad is former Major League Baseball player Todd Zeile, which makes for a nice trivia question.
