Who Plays Little Jack On This Is Us?
By Christopher Ramos
The young actor called on to play the toddler version of Jack Pearson is three-year-old Johnny Kincaid (via IMDb). His mother Marisol posted to Instagram about his acting debut, explaining that while his condition, albinism, is "a different visual impairment, we are SO thrilled for the representation and inclusion of the blind and low vision community in a television show that does so well at showing all the nuances of life with SUCH a huge reach!"
Kincaid is adorable and captivating in an early-episode scene with Mandy Moore as Rebecca Pearson, where she tasks Jack with picking out his own shoes and he tells her he knows Kate and Toby Damon aren't getting along. Later that day, the toddler wanders away from his stressed, bickering, and distracted parents and falls on the sidewalk, cutting his forehead and leading to an intense front yard argument between them. The young actor also appears in one more scene in the episode, where Rebecca takes him to a hospital to have his wound sewn up.
We'll almost definitely be seeing more of Kincaid in the show's final episodes, and the youngster should have more work coming his way when "This is Us" concludes on May 24.
