Justin Hartley Has One REGRET About His This Is Us Character; Here’s What Actor Claims

As a dedicated fan who has followed Justin Hartley‘s career since his Smallville days, I can’t help but empathize with his deep connection to the character he portrayed so brilliantly in This Is Us – Kevin Pearson. The actor’s emotional revelation about the misunderstood and often misjudged nature of his character resonated with me on a personal level.


Actor Justin Hartley is expressing thoughts about one of his popular characters. He played Kevin Pearson in the 2016 series “This Is Us.” During a chat with Chris Wallace on “Who’s Talking,” Max, he shared that viewers often didn’t fully grasp his character and expressed compassion for the part he brought to life on the screen.

In the tale, we see Kevin depicted as a self-centered and troubled teen dealing with personal emotions. Conversely, the mature representation of Kevin, played by Sterling K. Brown, has earned acclaim and offers a more toned-down portrayal of his character.

During our conversation, the actor shared that often when he plays characters, they feel like his children and friends, almost as if they are a part of him. Consequently, he sometimes feels for them deeply. He also commented on one character, saying, “This man can’t seem to avoid his own mistakes, but he’s not truly a bad person. People might think he’s a jerk, but in reality, he isn’t.

I had the privilege of gracing the screen on NBC’s hit show, where I acted alongside Mandy Moore, Chrissy Metz, Milo Ventimiglia, and Susan Kelechi Watson.

During their chat, the performer expressed, “He’s often misinterpreted, yet he might come off as somewhat difficult, if not downright disagreeable. It’s like, I really want to aid him, but unfortunately, it’s impossible.

When asked about the similarities between his character and Harley from Smallville, the actor admits that there are elements of Kevin within himself. He further adds, “As Kevin evolved and grew older, I believe we share more characteristics, particularly in the later stages of Kevin’s development.

Currently, the actor is portraying Colter Shaw on CBS’s show Tracker. He admitted that he swiftly accepted the role in This Is Us because, as a parent, if his children had experienced what Kevin did, he could only imagine expressing his feelings to him.

You can now stream “This Is Us” on Amazon Prime Video, while the latest installments of “Tracker” are airing on the CBS television network.
