Through the years, “This Is Us” has welcomed countless big-name guest stars to its ever-growing family, with a whopping six being nominated at the Emmys: Ron Cephas Jones, Gerald McRaney, Brian Tyree Henry, Denis O’Hare, Michael Angarano and Phylicia Rashad. Jones and McRaney are the only two guest stars to take home trophies, but now Angarano is hoping to follow in their Emmy-winning footsteps.
Angarano first joined NBC’s family drama in 2018 as Nick Pearson, the estranged brother of Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia). In flashbacks we see Nick’s early life with Jack and their service in Vietnam, while in the present-day story he’s known as Uncle Nicky (Griffin Dunne) and lives a mostly solitary life in his trailer. In the most recent fifth season, Angarano returned in the “One Small Step” episode in which fans saw Nick fall in love for the first time with his co-worker Sally at the animal clinic.

In just two seasons, “This Is Us” has already netted three Emmy wins for its acclaimed ensemble cast. Sterling K. Brown, who stars as Randall Pearson, won Best Drama Actor for Season 1 alongside Gerald McRaney as Dr. K in Best Drama Guest Actor. For Season 2, Ron Cephas Jones (as William) collected his first Emmy in that same guest category. “This Is Us” now finds itself with seven more Emmy nominations for its actors for Season 3, including first-time mentions for stars Mandy Moore (as Rebecca) and Chris Sullivan (as Toby). It is apparent that the TV academy still loves “This Is Us,” which is a good indication that at least one of those seven acting nominees will walk away with Emmy gold in September.
