Casting in the Biggest Drama
Oh Yes! This Is Us, which had just debuted on television, was the highest-rated new show of the 2016-17 season. Vayntrub was cast as Sloane Sandburg in the Pearson family story. She was a dramatist and the love interest of a major character. The actress has now appeared in eight episodes of This Is Us, but given how the show moves around in time, she may return for more in the future.
The Comedy Series That Never Happened
Other Space is a science fiction comedy that aired on Yahoo! Screen, was the actress’s last high-profile production. In the picture, Vayntrub plays an inept starship sailor. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, Yahoo! Screen and the broadcast were discontinued. Although its creator, Paul Feig, is anxious to make more episodes, production has yet to resume.
