As This Is Us goes to Vietnam to chronicle Jack’s time during the war, we will meet his brother. Michael Angarano (I’m Dying Up Here) is set to recur on the upcoming third season of the acclaimed NBC drama series, playing Nicky, Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) brother.

Nicky was introduced on "This Is Us" in a flashback scene with Jack when both were children. We got a glimpse of adult Nicky in a group photo of US servicemen from Vietnam where he was alongside Jack as it was revealed that Nicky had been killed in the war.




Series creator Dan Fogelman told Deadline last month that the series will be “diving heavy” into patriarch Jack’s experience in Vietnam in Season 3.

To help with the accurate portrayal of the war, "This Is Us" brought in renowned Vietnam journalist and author Tim O’Brien (The Things They Carried) as consultant.



Season 3 premieres Tuesday, September 25 at 9 PM on NBC.
