Barbershop Break Down
Visiting a barbershop is like therapy for many people. It’s a place where one can open up about their feelings or take a trip down memory lane with people they feel they can trust. The atmosphere is often that of a group of individuals (usually men or women) sitting around, talking about the good old days.
In one episode of “This Is Us,” we see this exact scenario play out when Randall and William go to the barbershop. However, this isn’t just two actors reading their lines. In this scene, the actors Ron Cephas Jones and Sterling K. Brown reminisce about their real-life experiences and memories as children. This raw, emotional conversation between the two actors makes the scene feel incredibly genuine and authentic, and it’s one of the reasons why “This Is Us” has resonated so deeply with audiences.
