Itās been two years since This Is Us ended, but one star from the series is keeping
the showās memory alive in a unique way. Actress Alexandra Breckenridge currently stars
in Virgin River on Netflix, and fans also know her as Sophie Inman (the on-again, off-again girlfriend of Justin Hartleyās Kevin Pearson) on the hit NBC drama. Well, sheās showing everyone what itās like to be a character on This Is Us, with the help of a video that helped her score the role.
When Alexandra posted a throwback video on Instagram, fans saw her standing in front of a blank wall while reading her lines for the camera.
