This Is Us' Eris Baker Found Out She Got Her Role at Christmas!

Eris Baker had a major story line this season on This Is Us, which made us wake up and pay attention – and now, we’re obsessed with the young actor.

The 13-year-old star revealed to People in a recent interview that she actually found out she booked the role at Christmastime!

“I went in there, I was starting really well, but I messed up,” Eris recalled about her audition, which she thought she bombed. “They were asking me to do it again and again and again. When I was done with the audition, I really cried to death. My mom had to hold me like I was 2 years old.”

She continues, “But it taught me a really valuable lesson because I know now that they were telling me to do it again and again not because I was doing it bad. But to see how many ways I could do it and to see if I could take directions.”

“My parents actually waited until Christmas to tell me that I got the part, so that was one of the best Christmas gifts I got,” Eris added. So cool!
