Brown appeared in season 3, which saw Midge (Brosnahan) going on the road with her manager Susie (Borstein) as the comedy act for the singer Shy's (Leroy McClain) tour. Brown played Shy's manager Reggie, who gave Midge and Susie a major wakeup call in the season 3 finale. Word of Ventimiglia's casting comes after it was announced season 6 of This Is Us will be the show's last and will air in 2022. The actor teased a "magical and hopeful" ending to the show. TVLine earlier reported the news.
