  • Mandy Moore had a successful singing career before becoming a star on the big screen. After a series of notable roles, the offers slowed and she struggled with her career as a TV actress - that is, until audiences got a taste of “This is Us.” In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, Moore tells Willie Geist that she almost gave up acting until she got the part that changed her life forever.

    She deserves a golden globe, and Emmy, an Oscar, a Tony, a Grammy, and an Olympic gold medal for her work on This Is Us

      Tassy McCormick she’s overrated. To me, she has been disappointing on “this is us.”

    Why does no one ever mention that she is the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled?!?!?!?! It should also be mentioned!! It's a pretty big thing to be a part of disney!!!

    • @BrettD2013
      @BrettD2013 6 лет назад +7

      I think financially she would be set if she would have quit acting. Tangled is a big franchise for Disney, it made a good amount at the box office and it still sells merchandise on a daily basis, plus on top of that the movie is shown on Disney channel.

    • @jsharp1701
      @jsharp1701 6 лет назад +25

      I still think Rapunzel is one of her best performances and one of the best Disney voices ever. She was perfect.

    • @ThanieKautz
      @ThanieKautz 6 лет назад +5

      OMGGG yess!! It drives me nuts when people skip over this fact. Aside from singing and A Walk to Remember, she is heavily known for Rapunzel! One of the best princesses of all times!

    She's perfect for This is Us, I can't imagine anyone else playing her role. This is the first time I see a celebrity who is so genuine in an interview, I teared up a little, she's incredible. I love her. I hope she will always be happy.

  • @alexandrak.5991
    @alexandrak.5991 6 лет назад +297

    I've always loved Mandy from a young age. It's nice to see someone who has been in the public eye, a majority of her life and still be the same lovely person. Happy for her and her success! She is wonderful as Rebecca Pearson!

    • @missbumblebee8633
      @missbumblebee8633 6 лет назад +5

      Shee does seem genuinely lovely. She also has that girl-next-door charm though that I find a bit boring.

    • @bingboyify
      @bingboyify 6 лет назад +4

      same here. I noticed her through Princess Diaries and her song in it. she seems so down to earth!

    • @rwwilson21
      @rwwilson21 6 лет назад +6

      She’s a very nice person. I met her once through a meet and greet. And being a die hard fan that I am, from the moment I heard candy on the radio(on the first day it actually was released), I was so star struck I couldn’t move, breath, think, or even talk. When I finally did the first and only thing that came out of mouth(without thinking) was, “can I hug you?” She s smile and said “yes.” Easily one of the greatest moments of my life.

    @ma_kenz 6 лет назад +271

    I would say A Walk To Remember was her breakout role, not Princess Diaries. Just saying...

    • @rachelc3535
      @rachelc3535 6 лет назад +11

      Princess Diaries came out first, hence why they said that.

    • @ma_kenz
      @ma_kenz 6 лет назад +5

      Rachel T Right, but I would wager more people know her from AWTR, which is typically what people mean when they say "breakout role," not simply that it came first.

    • @rachelc3535
      @rachelc3535 6 лет назад +3

      I'm not disagreeing with you, I was just saying why they said what they said. However, it's an opinion that's up for debate nonetheless.

    • @sheenaldeo
      @sheenaldeo 6 лет назад +4

      Well they are saying “breakout” because it was her first stint in acting. Not placing more value on it for her acting contribution, because she was barely in a Princess Diaries, besides the cliche mean girl. But she’s said herself that it was her first role and the one that made her realize she wanted to pursue acting more.

    • @ma_kenz
      @ma_kenz 6 лет назад +1

      Sheenal Deo Girl, I hear you, and I'm not going for blood on semantics. I was just stating my opinion using the definition that I think is more correct.

    I've been following Mandy Moore since her Candy/TRL days back when I was 11 years old. She has ALWAYS been so humble and genuine. So very proud of her!

  • @steve16850
    @steve16850 6 лет назад +91

    I always respected her because she was the only young “it” girl at the time who refused to compromise her morals. She stayed true to herself and is, in my opinion, the most successful of them all now.

    This was one of the most inspiring interview in my life. I’m a tough guy and don’t get emotional but an ex put me on to this show. Since watching the show it has broke down all of my physical wall to showcase my emotional side and have so many profound sad memories. This show is one of the greatest shows I ever watched in my entire life. Wish I can be On season 4 as Randall’s lost half brother!

    I've always loved Mandy so much! I'm just a year younger than her so when her first album dropped she was my jam! I became an even bigger fan after A Walk to Remember. If there was a movie or show she was in I had to see it. I am so glad she kept going even when it was hard. I'd be so sad if she stopped acting! I am so happy for her!

    • @msep5203

    I never knew who Mandy Moore was; I had heard her name but I don't really remember any of her music. (That could be because I was older in the 90s.) One of my sisters told me about "This Is Us" after the first episode and I watched it. I was immediately drawn to each and every character, the acting, the writing and premise of the series. The biggest surprise for me was Mandy Moore. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew she was a teenage pop star and I was ready to dismiss her acting. How wrong I was! Every actor in this show is outstanding but it was Mandy Moore who truly took my breath away. Her performances are astounding; never once do I see "acting", I only see Rebecca Pearson. Thank you Mandy for not walking away from acting and giving this show the chance and benefit of you.

    I'm not saying she is a bad singer, but acting is her bread and butter. I feel like she will have a very long-acting career and be taking seriously in films to come if that is what she chooses to do. I'm happy she didn't walk away from it.
