Prior to that, she appeared in her first feature film, where she played a small vocal role in the comedy Dr. Dolittle 2 and also appeared in the comedy The Princess Diaries, both in 2001. Her role as Rebecca Pearson in the award-winning NBC show This Is Us, which she has been playing since 2016, is one of her more recent works.
