Shahi : He ’s just that human race ! No mystery in Hollywood . Yeah , no , he ’s incredible . Sterling ’s magnanimous ? largess ? His generosity , get ’s just go with that word , knows no destruction . Whether it ’s him as an executive manufacturer or as a someone coming in every forenoon , greeting everybody , asking if there ’s anything he can provide that will make your day go by easier , to how giving he is on projection screen , I have done nothing but mature from him . It ’s been such a treat , and I ’m grateful for the experience of sharing this journey with him . I have nothing negative to say . He ’s incredible . It ’s teasing .

Nicholson : He ’s an unbelievable actor , which we ’ve all see , but he ’s an incredible human being . He show up completely his bona fide self , and he ’s very generous , thankful for where he is , and he brings us all along with him . The bunch on this show , ' Paradise , ' about , say , 85 - 90 pct was also the bunch on ' This Is Us . ' There was already a kinsperson in plaza , a trust . They have in - jokes like people were there . To do the work , but also to have a nice sentence if you ’re going to be aside from your family . If you ’re going to be aside from your home , at least let ’s do it in a place with supportive people who all need to make the in force show it can be . That ’s Dan and Sterling definitely bring that muscularity , and then it dribble down through the relief of us .
