‘This Is Us’ actor who plays young Kevin Pearson almost didn’t make it to audition

It turns out that the actor who plays the young version of Kevin Pearson almost didn’t even make the audition for the part.

When it comes to Kevin Pearson on This Is Us there are several actors that play the part based on his age. Today shared that Logan Shroyer actually almost missed his audition and had to cancel a dental appointment so that he could be there.

Logan recently shared the details about how he almost didn’t make his audition.

"“It was Halloween night, if not the day after, that I got the call about the audition and I almost didn’t go. It was super last minute. I had a dentist appointment that I ended up canceling because I was like, ‘I have to do this.'”"

Luckily things changed and back in 2015, Logan Shroyer made it to this audition so he got the role of the young Kevin Pearson. He found out the news the next day that he got the role, but had to change up a few things. Logan had to get contacts that looked like Justin Hartley’s eye color and make his hair look a bit more 90s. He was able to do both and the fans love him in the role of the young Kevin Pearson. He called landing the role “the biggest blessing ever.” It would be hard to imagine anyone else playing the role of the young Kevin Pearson.
