Cuz I have to deal with my parents, I never show my dad my music videos.

>> I think only once I've ever sat next to my mother at a movie premiere, and
I said hey, mom, I'm so sorry for everything you're about to see.
>> [LAUGH] >> But
on this one it was kind of like a little bit of a joke of yeah,
my butt precedes my face.

>> The show's about family, it's about a family.
If you've seen the first episode, then you know that my character and Mandy Moore's
character, we are in the past and that we have three grown children.
And you're gonna see how these kids develop from childhood to
the present day where you meet them on the day of their 36th birthday.

Where were you brought up?
>> I grew up down in Orange County, California.
>> Awesome. >> So I'm kind of a local boy.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Yeah, all right!
>> Awesome.
>> Orange County represent.
>> So do your parents ever go to set, or?
>> They do, they do, but at this point, 21 years in the business,
it's kinda like old hat.
Like my mom, she'll walk on the set, she'll look behind the monitors.
I don't wanna bother anyone, I'll just stand back here.
My dad literally is just like, okay, where's craft service?
>> [LAUGH] >> Which is the snack table.
>> That's exactly my dad.
>> Yeah, they just wanna go where the snack table is.
>> Exactly. >> I kinda point him in that direction.
Pop, there you go, it's over there, so but.
>> So what do you do when you're not working?
Personal questions, a lot?
I don't like people, I'm always working, so-
>> By the way, yeah, I totally get that,
but this spring I found myself with a little bit of free time.
After filming the first episode of This is Us and before I did Gilmore,
before we got picked up, I was like, I'm gonna challenge myself in a different way.
I'm gonna learn Japanese.
>> Okay.
>> So, [FOREIGN].
>> All right, so what did you just tell me?
>> I study Japanese.
>> Okay, all right, give me something else, give me something so
I know you don't know just one thing.
>> If I knew anything it would be like, [FOREIGN].
And then you'd respond in kind, saying what-
>> I'm from Nashville so,
I know no Japanese, but I totally get it.
>> [LAUGH] >> It's okay.
>> And you also, you ride motorcycles?
>> Yeah, yeah, I'm on my motorcycle a lot to kinda get around town.
It's easy.
>> This is getting good, everybody, this is getting good.
>> [LAUGH] >> All right, so,
congratulations- >> Thank you.
>> On everything.
We're gonna be right back and I think we're gonna play a game.
>> Yeah, I'm gonna take my clothes off and get dunked, I think.
>> Me too, woo hoo!

For the third year in a row, we're partnering with Ulta Beauty to raise money
and awareness for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
And today, we're gonna put you Milo in the splash tank, shirtless.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
if I dunk him that's $10,000 from Ulta for breast cancer research.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Totally worth it.
>> Totally worth it. >> Worth getting objectified.
