On this season of This Is Us, we are going to see how Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Miguel (Jon Huertas) got together. This past Friday, when Milo Ventimiglia was a guest on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked him how he thinks Jack will react to their relationship.
“Jack’s dead! So it really doesn’t matter what Jack thinks,” Ventimiglia said. The actor did go on to say that Jack loved his family so much that he would want his wife and children to be happy.
Ventimiglia also said that sometimes it is hard to live up to what a good a person his character is. Therefore, if you ever hear Milo talking about Jack’s flaws. That is him trying to let himself off the hook for not being as good of a person as Jack.
I set up an interview with Ventimiglia back when he was on Gilmore Girls. Let me tell you, there is a lot of Jack in him. You can’t play that good of a guy without being one. The audience can tell when someone is not as nice as their character. That is why some people are always the bitch or the villain.
The This Is Us patriarch also revealed how Mandy Moore told the cast that she is going to be a mother. They were all on Zoom call, catching up. When they got to her, she timidly told them she is pregnant. They were all so happy for her. Ventimiglia says he is so thrilled that someone as great and amazing as her is going to be mom influencing a child. That gives him hope for Earth.
