That Fateful Audition
During her appearance on The Tonight Show she spoke about that fateful audition for This Is Us. Actually, she only had 81 cents in her bank account. Oh and she had just enough gas in her car to get there. Once she auditioned, it came down to her and one other (thinner) actress. However, Dan Fogelman, creator and executive producer, has a sister who has struggled with weight loss. Thus, he felt Chrissy was the best choice for the role.

Things have really changed for Chrissy Metz since she became a huge sensation. One thing that shocked her was the fact that someone wanted to do a sexy shoot of her. Even though she admitted to having the confidence herself, she said, initially, “I was like, ‘Who, me?’” She added that Harper’s Bazaar featuring her felt “incredible” and like “validation.”
