Rebecca is a bit of a daddys girl, Moore tells EW.
There are certain things that they dont align on.
But I think at the end of the day she really loves her father for who he is.

Hes quite protective of her.
How might Rebeccas new boyfriend acquit himself when he breaks bread and the ice with her parents?
Wouldnt you expect Jack to win anyone over?
says the actress, who was recently nominated for an Emmy.
But her parents can be a bit…tricky.
Theyre a little protective.
I feel like they dont necessarily understand [her] ambition as a musician.
So this is all new territory bringing a boy like this home.
Meanwhile, Ventimiglia reminds that Jack can handle himself in a variety of high-pressure situations.
I think Jack is someone who can hold his own, he tells EW.
Hes not afraid of whatever company hes in.
Hes very respectful, but hes going to have some obstacles.
And they may have his own making.
Jack, just like a lot of soldiers of the era, dealt with and internalized a lot.
Youve got to deal with bombs that are constantly going off in their world.
A lot of internal stuff.
Hes still in battle.
Its an important part of their finding some semblance of understanding in their relationship.
Im so excited for Mandy.
And the following sentiment may not be the most shocking one from Ventimiglia, but its heartfelt.
Jack Pearson departed this earthly realm decades ago, but his presence is still felt.
And so is his loss.
It doesnt mean that somethings missing.
Its just an opportunity for things to grow deeper, bigger, and wider.
In that comes the myth, right?
Still, four years in, I really wish that Jack was around for his adult kids.
Not even for them.
Just to be around.
Just to be a presence in their life.
