Milo Ventimiglia Says He’s Not That Different From His Character on ‘This Is Us’
People are literally in love with Jack from This is Us, played but he lovable Milo Ventimiglia — he loves his family, friends, and is one hell of a father. Naturally, when Milo says he’s not that different from his character, we are falling more in love with this man!
“I’ve known about how Jack’s passing happens and when and why and all of that,” he shared with Us Weekly. “For me, there is no preparation other than learning the lines and being open to the experience that you’ve going to have when you get on set,” he added. “Thankfully, [creator] Dan Fogelman and all of our writers are all so crazy talented that it really is as easy as just learning the lines. The words kind of speak for themselves.”
He continued: “People closest to to me tells me that that character may be the closest to who I am and I don’t think that’s untrue. Jack tries to be a good man, I try to be a good man. Jack tries to inspire, I try to inspire. Jack is fiercely protective, I’m fiercely protective. The line between character and person, the line between Jack and Milo is blurry. It’s not a good line, but at the same time he’s a character, he’s imaginary, so it’s just my job to bring him to life. He’s a very fun man to play, I enjoy it. I like that he does good, he tries to do good. I try to do the same thing!”
Milo, will you marry me?
