-You look so young.
I always say this every time I see you.
I know you're...
a grown man. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] Do you ever get --
Do you get carded when you go out to like --
like if you go to a club
or a wine-liquor. -It's been a while.
Like the mustache helps.
-It does. -When I have the mustache on,
you know, less people are like --
They're like, "Oh, you're a man.
You have a mustache. Great." -Okay, yeah.
-Yeah. But, without the mustache,
-But without the mustache -- -you're 15.
BOTH: Yeah. [ Laughter ]
I never -- I got carded when I was younger,
but, actually, like the problems arose when
I was old enough and I was living here in New York City.
I was doing a TV show for the WB network.
You guys remember that? -Yeah. Totally. [ Cheering ]
With the frog? -Yeah, the frog. Bah!
Yeah. I'm with you. Yeah.
-And I was working with a young actor named Penn Badgley,
[ Cheering and applause ] who's on "You" right now.
Amazing actor. But he was only 19.
So, when we'd go out, I'm like, "Well, hey, man, here's --
You take my ID and I'll take my passport."
And I would make sure he'd get into wherever we were going
that night with like our friends
and, about 10, 15 minutes later,
I would walk up to the doorman, hand him my passport,
and he'd look at me and be like, "You're already inside."
[ Laughter ]
-"You're actually already in here.
You just came here
five minutes ago." -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Fantastic. -Yeah. Pretty much.
-Let's talk about "This Is Us." -Okay.
-Congrats on all of this stuff.
You actually directed. -I did. This season,
I directed an episode. -How was that?
-It was a blast. I mean, I started directing
when I was 25, doing like small commercial work and whatnot,
but this was the first time I had ever directed
any episodic TV.
-It's a lotta work. -It's a lotta work.
It's a lot of preparing and planning and I was --
I would say I was overprepared, just so that nobody would worry.
My bosses weren't worried.
The cast weren't worried, except for Susan Kelechi Watson
and Chrissy Metz kind of giving me side eye,
[ Laughter ] like, "Oh, you know what you're doin'?"
I'm like, "Yeah, I know what I'm doing. We're good."
-[laughing, clapping] Do they really?
-A little bit, yeah. They were a little worried.
Sterling wasn't worried.
Justin Hartley wasn't worried.
Mandy Moore was not worried.
Susan and Chrissy, they were like, "Okay."
-That's it, yeah.
[ Laughter ] You did a great job.
-I think so, yeah. -You did.
