This Is Us star Chris Sullivan looked a world away from his character Toby Damon when he appeared on his podcast Tuesday.
The actor, 44, starred on the NBC drama for its entire six years between 2016 and 2022 and left the show when it ended, just before welcoming his second child with his wife Rachel.
He now dedicates his free time to running the Podcast That Was Us along with some of his co-stars.
The podcast also stars Mandy Moore and Sterling K. Brown as the trio dive back into the Pearsons’ world, reliving each episode and all the life lessons, as well as welcoming different guests.
With no beard in sight, a trimmer frame and a very different sense of style, Chris appears unrecognizable and looks nothing like the character he is best known for.
In the most recent episode of the podcast, Chris rocked a black and gray denim-look beanie and funky orange sunglasses.

His signature beard is also nowhere to be seen, as he opted for a minimal amount of stubble.
The actor also showed off his quirky sense of style in previous episodes, wearing a variety of colorful patterned shirts and hats.
In the weekly series, Chris, Mandy and Sterling share never-before-seen behind-the-scenes moments, as well as going deep and having difficult conversations.
In the most recent episode, the stars explored the Pearson family’s pivotal moments and defining experiences when they were in their twenties.
They were also joined by This Is Us makeup artist Zoe Hay, who shared behind-the-scenes insights and revealed the secrets behind those iconic Pearson looks.
Chris and his wife Rachel Reichard welcomed their second child in October 2022, a little daughter.
They posted a clip on Instagram and wrote: ‘Please meet AOIFE BEA! She arrived 3 weeks early, fully grown, healthy and VERY strong. A super fast and problem-free birth (much to his mother’s relief).’
The couple, who exchanged vows in 2010 and welcomed son Bear in July 2020, said their son was “in love and delighted to welcome his sister home, and told everyone “the baby is coming !”. the day she was born.’
He added: “She immediately captured our hearts and doubled the love.”

Announcing the pregnancy in May 2022, he said: “We have finished my final scenes for #thisisus,” the Emmy-winning actor said. ‘What an incredible 6 years these have been. With every ending, there is a new beginning… so here’s a preview of what’s to come.’
Sullivan, who has also been seen in The Knick and Stranger Things, visited the site after the birth of his son in July 2020 to reflect on the emotional experience.
“Watching @therealrachelsullivan bring our first child into this world, after 20 hours of labor, was one of the great honors of my life,” she said. “It was primal and intentional and I have never been more in love with this powerful woman.”
he said eastern time at that point they had “got into a pretty good rhythm of getting each other to sleep and rest.” And then we have a little help here at home… I’m still running mostly on adrenaline. Adrenaline and pure joy.’
In October 2022, Sullivan received several congratulatory responses to the post from her co-stars of the NBC hit, as Mandy Moore wrote: “Can’t wait to meet her!! Congratulations sweet Sullivan family!!! ‘ while Susan Kelechi Watson wrote: “My heart.”
Caitlin Thompson said: ‘So sweet! I can’t wait to meet her!’
