Randall Pearson is the best character on "This is Us." Yep, I said it and there are many reasons why it's true. He is a loving father, a patient son, and an awesome husband. His story is one that makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes you feel as if you're experiencing life alongside him. While all of the characters are amazing, he just stands out in a good way!
1. He is goodhearted to everyone.
Randall tries to take care of everyone and everything. He may be too good, to the point where it drives him a bit crazy. As his wife, Beth says "Randall is not free of vice, his vice is his goodness, it's his compulsive drive to be perfect."
2. Family is everything to Randall.
Whether he's spending time with his girls, telling stories with his mom, or making his wife feel special, family comes first. As it should.
3. Although the outcast of his siblings, he still has a lot of love for them both.
Growing up, he was never treated quite the same with his siblings, most of all with Kevin. Kevin and Kate had a twin connection and often left Randall out. But, he never treated them any differently and all three of them learn to lean on each other as they get older.
4. Randall always cherished his biological father and adopted father equally.
When Randall was younger he kept a little book of the adults he met, trying to figure out who his birth father was. But, he kept this a secret from Jack, his adopted father as to not hurt his feelings. Later on, Randall found his biological father, William. He opened his home and his heart to William instantly.
5. He is relatable because of his imperfections.
Randall's struggle with perfectionism leads to insomnia, tremors, and panic attacks. He often tries to hide them, but his family rushes to his side.
6. Randall speaks the truth.
Enough said!
