Catch erisbaker on tonight's mid-season finale of NBCThisisUs.
If you’re a fan of NBC’s heartrending series, This Is Us, you’ll already recognize Eris Baker. The 14-year-old actress plays Tess Pearson on the series, and handles her coming-of-age with a grace and grit that might surprise you. That’s because Tess—whose character acts as a beacon for LGBTQ+ audiences after coming out in Season 3—clearly isn’t just ticking off the boxes of teenage malaise.
“Living in a world of so much hate,” Baker reveals, “The feedback that I’m getting from portraying Tess’ character has been amazing. So many people have been DMing me on different social media about how Tess’ character has been a pathway for them.” Eris, who is often active on Instagram, is regularly interactive with This Is Us viewers who write in with comments relating to Tess’ coming-out arc on the series.
Eris was only about nine years old when she first auditioned for This Is Us, and she didn’t have any major performances under her belt at the time. She tells STYLECASTER that she walked into a reading for what was originally an untitled, “really big show” that she knew little about.
