'This Is Us' Cast Members Have the Sweetest Reunion for Niles Fitch’s Graduation & Everyone Is All Grown Up

Get ready to get emo! Niles Fitch (AKA teenage Randall from This Is Us) just graduated from college (!!!), and members of his fictional family came to support him on his big day. So not only does he now tote a diploma from the University of Southern California, but he has the sweetest photo of himself in a cap and gown standing between Milo Ventimiglia (who played Fitch’s dad, Jack Pearson) and Hannah Zeile (who played his sister, Kate Pearson).

Fitch shared the sweet shot on his Instagram Story (see a screenshot HERE) and a photo on his feed of himself holding his diploma. “Dad, I did it,” the We Have a Ghost star captioned the special picture.

We know it’s only been two years since the This Is Us finale in May 2022, but everyone looks so grown up. And it’s not just because of Fitch’s graduation regalia (although that’s certainly a mind f*ck). He and Zeile were teens when they started on the drama. And now he’s a college graduate and she’s old enough to need her own health insurance! HOW?!

Though they might not have attended the graduation ceremony, other This Is Us stars were quick to congratulate Fitch in the comments. “Go Niles! Unbelievable. #proudfakemom,” wrote Mandy Moore (AKA Rebecca Pearson).

“My dude!!! Way to go, young man!!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿,” said Sterling K. Brown, who played the adult version of Fitch’s character.

“so proud of you!! Go Niles!!” Zeile said in the comments (and probably IRL too). She also shared another photo to her own Instagram Story with four perfect emojis: A graduation cap, a champagne bottle, fingers crossed, and a heart.

And on it went. So much love poured in from castmates and friends and followers alike. (We’re not crying, you’re crying!)

This isn’t the only reunion the cast has had since the show ended in May 2022. Last May, Moore reunited with her TV daughter Chrissy Metz and daughter-in-law Susan Kelechi Watson. “Reunited with my Pearson ladies and all is right in the world,” she captioned the adorable photo with the hashtag #thisisstillus.
