I'll admit it: I cry every week while watching This Is Us. Once you watch the show, it's impossible not to get emotionally invested in the heartbreaking lives of the Pearsons. But as with all families, I do have a favorite. You probably already guessed it; I'm talking about Randall (played by Emmy Award-winning actor Sterling K. Brown).

On the outside looking in, Randall appears to have it all: a loving wife named Beth and two adorable children, a gorgeous house, and a great job that he loves. But throughout the series, we get to know Randall on a deeper level as he confronts his childhood issues of abandonment from his biological father and his struggles with panic attacks. There's also the insanely sweet times where he's possibly the world's greatest TV dad and husband that make Randall my favorite character on the show.
