Eris Baker Talks to ONE37pm About the Final Season of "This Is Us" and More

Eris Baker is a young star determined to make her mark. Starring in the sixth and final season of NBC’s critically acclaimed, award-winning series This Is Us alongside Sterling K. Brown, Mandy Moore, Justin Hartley, and Chrissy Metz, Baker has grown into a fan favorite on the show, portraying Tess Pearson, the eldest daughter of Randall (Brown) and Beth Pearson (Susan Kelechi Watson).

Audiences and critics have raved over Baker’s standout performance as Tess comes out to her family, then navigates being a teenager who is exploring her sexuality in today’s society, and the young actress is currently nominated for an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Performance By A Youth.”

ONE37pm caught up with Baker last week to discuss this final season of This Is Us, fashion, and more.

ONE37pm: Thanks for chatting with us Eris! How has the last season of This Is Us been?

Baker: It’s been great! I love it so much. I got the part when I was very young, and growing up with it has helped me so much. I’ve been learning as I go.

ONE37pm: How does your role on this show compare to others you’ve done?

Baker: Compared to the other roles, those were more fun scripts and a lot of improv. With This Is Us—it’s an NBC drama compared to let’s just say Disney Channel with KC Undercover. Getting into the character of Tess has been so much fun!
