Tearjerker. Seasons and seasons have passed by and will pass by but the NBC drama, This Is Us will continue to be described as a tearjerker. The latest season of the drama recently went on-air and there has been a lot happening indeed.

And now, it is only going to get a lot more interesting as actor Austin Abrams will be joining the show in an important role. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Abrams will be playing Marc who meets teen Kate (Hannah Zeile) in a record store and who, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, will play a love interest for the Pearsons' daughter.

He’ll first appear in the Oct. 15 episode, “Flip a Coin,” which sees Kevin (Justin Hartley) reflecting on his past, Rebecca (Mandy Moore) visiting Randall (Niles Fitch) at college, and Beth’s (Susan Kelechi Watson) mom coming to visit. Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) will share new experiences with baby Jack.

Abrams is the fourth addition to the show's already large cast this season, joining Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon a Time), Blake Stadnik and Asante Blackk. Blackk, playing a teenager in Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth's new neighborhood in Philadelphia, will be a series regular.
