Logan Shroyer on How "This is Us" is Pushing Social Awareness
He's a relative newcomer to Hollywood, but Logan Shroyer is already getting plenty of advice from his "This Is Us" co-stars, Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia. Logan sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Hollywood to discuss his role as the teenage version of Kevin Pearson.
As part of a show with a huge following, Shroyer discusses why he thinks the show resonates with fans, explaining that the show is about an imperfect family, and many people can relate to that aspect of the show.
The young star is excited about both sides of the business, starting his own production company in the hopes of directing one day. He explains that he is interested in learning the ropes behind the camera, in addition to acting.
The "This is Us" cast is set to receive an Elizabeth Taylor Award for social awareness in December. Logan shared how the series addresses complex social issues, such as adoption and racism.
A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
