Milo Ventimiglia couldn’t be happier for parents-to-be Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith.

“Thank God for [creator] Dan Fogelman and the writers to be able to orchestrate the season to allow her time off, it’s such a huge life event to go through, I imagine. Everything has been good. Mandy is truly the best,” he continues.

“It’s exciting to know that she and Taylor are going to be parents. Those are the kind of people you want to be parents. They’re just good people, solid people. I think they’re going to have a good kid,” the actor adds.

“Still waiting for this little man to make an appearance (seriously the waiting and anticipation is almost too much - I kid). Anytime you’re ready, sir,” she wrote on Instagram.

In addition to being a great mom, Ventimiglia also tells PEOPLE that he thinks Moore will be a great director someday and wants to see his longtime costar get behind the camera.

“I keep telling Mandy, I want Mandy to direct. She’s got such a creative eye, she’s such a pro. She’s not one to grab the camera and really talk about shots, lenses and angles from me when we’re on set but she’ssocreative,” says the actor, who directed the fifth episode ofThis Is Usseason 4.

This Is Usairs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
