This Is Us’ Chris Sullivan Just Gave Us a Major Hint About Toby

Sullivan previously surprised two schools in Jackson, Miss. Pensacola (Fla.) with funding for school-based mental wellness activities. And, Sullivan’s youth outreach program is inspired by his own IRL role as a father: He’s one dad who rocks short shorts, much like his This Is Us 

co-star Milo Ventimiglia.  

“I agree with short shorts. I have a few pairs myself,” Sullivan quipped. “Short shorts season is on its way out, but it’s a classic bit of dad style. Milo might not be a dad, but I am and it’s that classic 1982 short shorts that I approve of.”
