Brown, who plays Randall Pearson. Ventimiglia's character Jack certainly shares a really close connection with with Randall as a youngster on the series, and it seems that the admiration for one another also carries over into real life.

During a recent sit down with The Hollywood Reporter the cast played a game to see how well they know one another, and it appears that Sterling and Ventimiglia are pretty in tune as friends. The video, while hilarious, is a little NSFW, so please proceed with caution.
