This Is Us [1] fans can agree that we're doing just fine when it comes to good looking men on the show [2]. Between adult Kevin, grown Randall, and yes, both young and old Jack, we are set — but when a mysteriously attractive blond man swooped in and surprised Rebecca during the season three premiere [3], we had no idea that it was the strikingly attractive Hunter Parrish hiding behind that retro mustache [4]. While producers did an excellent job of concealing the actor during the final seconds of the episode, a quick glance at the credits acknowledged Hunter as "Alan," who fans are assuming is a former beau of Rebecca's.
Personally, I've been swooning over Hunter since he stole my (and every girl in Agrestic's) heart as Mary-Louise Parker's rebellious son on Weeds [5], but without further adieu, let us introduce you to Hunter Parrish: the strikingly attractive actor who we're *hopefully* going to be seeing a lot more of on This Is Us (sorry, Jack)!
- He was born in Virginia. Hunter was born on May 13, 1987 in Richmond, VA, and grew up outside Dallas in Plano, TX.
- You've definitely seen him on your screen before. If you don't recognize the 31-year-old actor from his recurring role as Silas Botwin on Weeds, it's possible you know him as the bully, Stan, who Matthew Perry [7]'s daughter dated in 17 Again, or one of the adorable children in It's Complicated [8]. Hunter played Jeffrey Grant on The Good Wife [9], Kyle on The Following, and Clay on Quantico [10]. He also appeared on CSI, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Hand of God, and Good Girls Revolt.
- He's also a singer and a Broadway star. In addition to his evolving TV and film résumé, Hunter has a passion for Broadway. He portrayed Jesus in Godspell and took on the role of Melchior in Spring Awakening. He released his first EP called Guessing Games in 2012.
- He's taken! Hunter married his longtime girlfriend Katheryn Wahl in September 2015 in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in San Luis Obispo, CA. According to Us Weekly, the couple met on the set of Weeds [11] in 2010, when Kathryn worked as a "personal assistant" on the Showtime series. They share an adorable dog named Luna.
