He posted a photo in his cap and gown holding his degree with the caption, "Dad, I did it" — a sweet dedication to his father Frederick, who died from lupus when Niles was 12 years old.
Fans, friends, and celebrities flooded his comments with congratulatory messages, including one from his This Is Us co-star and on-screen mom, Mandy Moore.

What an exciting day filled with love! I'm a sucker for a cast reunion, and this was the perfect occasion to reunite.
Congratulations, Niles!
