Do all the touchdown dances you want, but know that there’s at least person — aside from, uh, the San Francisco 49ers — for whom Super Bowl Sunday carries the acrid tang of dreams gone up in smoke.
On her Instagram Story Sunday night, Mandy Moore made a joke that referenced a pivotal episode of her NBC series This Is Us. The account Midwest vs. Everybody posted a photo of eight slow cookers, deeming the appliance “The real Mvp of Super Bowl Sunday.” Underneath, Moore — who played mama Rebecca on the show — added: “Not in the Pearson household.”

Character departures are inevitable for most shows.
That doesn't mean we have to like them. Sometimes, a character has to go because it's necessary for the story.
Other times, the actor moves on to a new role, and the character can't continue without them.
Now and then, a character's time on a show comes to an end in a way that leaves us brokenhearted and feeling betrayed by the writers.
These exits took us by surprise, and not in a good way.

If you ask us, Alex Karev had one of the best character glow-ups of all time, with the kind of character development we can normally only dream about. His transformation from snarky, too-cool-for-school jock to the mature, brilliant man he became was one for the ages.

It goes without saying that Milo Ventimiglia is a huge star considering he portrayed some of our favorite heartthrobs onscreen. From his early roles as Jess Mariano in "Gilmore Girls" and Peter Petrelli in "Heroes," to his most recent ones as Jack Pearson in "This Is Us" and Charlie Nicoletti in "The Company You Keep," Ventimiglia has never had any problem acting out romance on screen. He's a bit more reserved with his personal life, however.
The 46-year-old actor usually shies away from talking about his love life publicly, and he told People why in a 2017 interview, explaining, "I try to minimize myself so people can see the character and can really dive into the work."
Still, Ventimiglia has had a few (and we mean very few) high-profile romances over the years. Like many other celebrities before him, he's mixed business with pleasure on two occasions by falling for his costars,...

There’s a sweet, full-circle moment in the Breeders series finale on FX that wouldn’t have been possible without the rage, narcissism, and dereliction of Paul Worsley (Martin Freeman) these past four seasons. After years of dissecting and addressing the very worst traits of fatherhood, it’s a well-earned payoff that not many — if any — other series have accomplished.
The world is full of bad TV fathers, thanks to the one-dimensional Frank Gallaghers and Homer Simpsons out there. It’s also rife with aspirational TV Land dads like Jack Pearson or Philip Banks. But where are the complicated dads? The ones who try their best but continuously fail? Who are ready to give up? Those who represent the real-life complexities of modern-day fatherhood and all of the exhaustion, anger, love, and existential questions that come with it?...

Milo Ventimiglia as Jack — (Photo by: NBC) Over the course of its six seasons, This Is Us followed the members of the Pearson family across the better part of a century. With its flashbacks and flash-forwards, the show was able to tell stories about childhood, parenthood, and American family relationships through several different eras, tackling some pretty tough issues about life, love, and mortality along the way. Though the show became a significant cultural force during its run (2016-2022), the average viewership was only about 13 million viewers, which means there are plenty of potential new viewers discovering the show through streaming. Assuming they haven’t gotten any spoilers, what can they expect? Milo Ventimiglia, who starred on the show as Jack Pearson, talked to us about the kinds of things viewers have taken away from watching This Is Us.

In the opening minutes of DC Down, Washington DC is hit by an earthquake that, among other things, causes the roof of The White House to collapse trapping President Powell and Vice President Jameson inside.
Lance Cushing a former combat engineer and search and rescue expert is called in to help get them out. He brings his fiance Katherine who is a seismologist along. It’s a good thing he did because it looks like there’s going to be some massive aftershocks, but her so far unproven “Dispersal Theory” might be able to protect what’s left of The White House from them. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Wilder has been sworn in as acting President, and a militia group, The Virginia Lookout, led by Beck are heading to DC.

Not letting the success of Ape vs Monster go to waste The Asylum is back with Ape vs. Mecha Ape. This time they’ve brought in Marc Gottlieb to write and direct. While it’s only his second feature, the other was Cousin Howard back in 1995, and the first one for The Asylum he’s written several scripts for them including Jungle Run, 2025 Armageddon, and Aquarium of the Dead. Can he kick the franchise into gear after its dismal first film?
Ape vs. Mecha Ape opens with a chemical weapons plant that looks like an old warehouse being attacked by what looks like the giant ape Abraham. A few explosions later we see that it’s actually a giant, well-armed, robot which makes short work of the plant’s security.

In director Marc Gottlieb‘s Ape vs. Mecha Ape, “Recognizing the destructive power of its captive giant Ape, the military makes its own battle-ready A.I., Mecha Ape.

Actor Milo Ventimiglia is starring in the new ABC drama series The Company You Keep. While the actor has taken on a number of other roles like Jack Pearson on This Is Us and Peter Petrelli on Heroes, Ventimiglia will never forget his roots as Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls. Nearly two decades after the last episode of Gilmore Girls aired, the show continues to find new audiences, something that Ventimiglia finds quite impressive. Here’s what Ventimiglia had to say about the legacy of Gilmore Girls.

ABC‘s The Company You Keep is Milo Ventimiglia’s next venture in the world of broadcast television. And his role as Charlie Nicoletti, a con man, is a lot different from This Is Us‘s Jack Pearson. But the difference in characters isn’t the only discrepancy between the two shows — not only does Milo Ventimiglia star in The Company You Keep, but he’s also an executive producer.

Unfortunately, Tina ran off with the money.

Milo Ventimiglia was already a heartthrob on Gilmore Girls. The role of Jess began the legacy of heartthrobs like Peter Petrelli and Jack Pearson. One of Jess’s Gilmore Girls love interests was Shane (Jessica Kiper). Kiper recalls Ventimiglia bringing her to a church when they were filming.

Kiper was a guest on Scott Patterson’s I Am All In podcast on April 15 to discuss her role on Gilmore Girls. Patterson asked for “Milo stories” and she obliged. Boy howdy, did she oblige!

On Gilmore Girls, Jess and Shane make out at the Stars Hollow End of Summer Madness festival. In real life, Ventimiglia was more reserved.
“One day on set, and I don’t think it was my first day, it could’ve been, it’s all a blur,” Kiper said on I Am All In.

No relation to the anime of the same name or the Don Bluth film Titan A.E. for that matter, this Attack on Titan is – you guessed it – another creatively titled film from The Asylum. This one justifies its title by having a rebel faction on Saturn’s moon Titan object to Earth’s deal with the government to harvest water crystals. Since they launch an attack on us, the film, whose original title, Alien Space Battle, still appears in the end credits would be more accurately called Attack from Titan. But that just doesn’t sound the same.

Oh, baby. I think ABC has another hit on its hands, and it comes in the form of another sudsy primetime drama with the venerable Milo Ventimiglia as the head of the ship.
The Company You Keep is like a fascinating twist on Romeo and Juliet, which, as we know, saw the children of two feuding families falling in love. Here, these families aren't feuding (yet), but their children are undoubtedly embarking on a clandestine relationship that has all the makings for a tragic end.
But let's not worry about the ending right now, when things are just beginning, and everything is oh, so sweet. Instead, let's dive into The Company You Keep Season 1 Episode 1, a pilot that makes a strong case for this series to be the latest addition to your must-watch list.

Before “This Is Us,” Milo Ventimiglia’s major roles felt of one voice. There’s Jess Mariano, the troubled young rebel on “Gilmore Girls”; Peter Petrelli, a tortured nurse struggling to control his powers in “Heroes”; Robert Balboa, Rocky’s son who’s stuck in his father’s shadow, even when he doesn’t know who he is without it. Ventimiglia’s specialty was playing the bewildered bad boy with a good heart, and whether it was a woman (like Rory), a calling (like Hiro’s), or a father (like Rocky), he just needed one thing to go right for the rest of his life to fall into place. In other words, he was the guy someone looked at and thought, “I can fix him” — and they were usually right.

“My dad is wonderful… my mom and dad… I get emotional,” he said as he got choked up. “My mom and dad are wonderful people. My father and Jack Pearson were of the same era, both born in the 40s, both Vietnam vets.
“And I saw in Jack the way that I…,” Ventimiglia stopped as he got teary-eyed. “It always happens.”
He continued, “I see in Jack the way my father was with my sisters and I, just wonderful. So thank you.”

The drama, which makes its debut on Feb. 19, stars Milo as a con man, a role very different than This Is Us‘ lovable Jack Pearson. So how would Mandy Moore figure into a series where Milo’s new character is decidedly different? Milo’s got her role covered.

It’s tough being a liar but that’s a fitting, albeit short, description of Milo Ventimiglia‘s new character. The actor takes a sharp left turn from perfect dad Jack Pearson on This Is Us to play con man Charlie Nicoletti in the new ABC series, The Company You Keep, premiering February 19. In the series, which comes from Ventimiglia’s Tk production company, viewers will meet Charlie, a career criminal working cons big and small with his family. “[Charlie’s] someone who was born into this life, never chose the life, but he happens to be really good at this life,” Ventimiglia tells us recently. But what happens when that criminal falls for a CIA agent (Catherine Haena Kim), who, unbeknownst to Charlie, has to do her own share of lying in her work? “You could say they both lie for a living,” Kim says. “They just have different ways of justifying it.

Milo Ventimiglia is very appreciative of the hard work of television crews. He’s been lucky enough to work with several exemplary groups of people throughout his small-screen career. However, as the star of ABC’s new drama series The Company You Keep, Milo feels even more confident in his group’s abilities, likely because some of them are long-time friends. He compares the group to a Super Bowl-winning team. Here’s why he thinks this is true.

Milo Ventimiglia fans anticipate the actor’s return to television in the new ABC drama, The Company You Keep. The former This Is Us star transformed into a different character in the new network thriller, leaving his Jack Pearson persona behind. However, the actor claims all it took was a “shave and a haircut” to turn him into a suave con man.

Milo Ventimiglia was looking to change things up after six seasons on NBC’s “This is Us” — both physically and professionally.
He found that opportunity with the upcoming ABC series “ The Company You Keep”, a high-stakes romance story that’s a remake of a Korean drama, “My Fellow Citizens”.
Ventimiglia plays Charlie, a successful and stylish con artist who needs to pay off a large debt to a dangerous man. He meets a CIA agent named Emma (Catherine Haena Kim). Each tries to keep their identity from the other while their entanglement grows as they face external dangers because of their jobs.

After six years of heartstring-pulling as This Is Us’ beloved (but tragic) patriarch Jack Pearson, Milo Ventimiglia could have chosen to take a nice break from working. Instead, he did the exact opposite in The Company You Keep. “I just wanted to go faster on the gas. I didn’t want to stop at all,” he says, laughing. Tempted to take on multiple projects in development at his Divide Pictures, he was most drawn to the role of The Company You Keep’s Charlie Nicoletti, a skilled con artist working with his grifter family but looking to go straight. “Charlie is very different from Jack Pearson, but there are some similarities in who they are as men looking out for their families,” Ventimiglia says. “[Charlie] is a criminal, but he’s a good bad guy. You’re rooting for him.” Here, the actor tells us more. The Nicolettis are definitely not the Pearsons,...

They can be goofy. They can be cool. They can be stern. They can be wise. In the 60 years since programs like “Father Knows Best” and “Leave It to Beaver” dominated the airwaves, television dads have changed some, but continue to bring us some of television’s funniest and most poignant moments.

The Pearsons may be gone, but they’re certainly not forgotten. A whopping 19 “This Is Us” cast members have been submitted by NBC on the 2022 Emmys ballot, including all of the core adult family members. That number includes three lead performers: Sterling K. Brown as Randall Pearson, Milo Ventimiglia as Jack Pearson and Mandy Moore as Rebecca Pearson. In years past, Justin Hartley as Kevin Pearson has also dabbled in lead, but for this final season he’s competing in supporting. One fan-fave guest star was not submitted on the Emmy ballot and thus cannot be nominated: 2017 winner Gerald McRaney, who returned in the penultimate episode as the ghost of lemonade-loving Dr. K.

It’s no secret the TV landscape is changing. In fact, it’s all TV journalists can talk about — the amount of content and the endless way to consume it. But sometimes, it’s about going back to where it all started: broadcast TV.
“I think it’s about the accessibility. If you have rabbit ears on TV, you can watch broadcast,” says Milo Ventimiglia, who has had great success through his career, most recently leading six seasons of “This Is Us,” which wrapped its final season in May.
“The good thing about broadcast TV is it’s literally for everybody. Maybe you can’t dive deep into some real-life situations and subject matters that we all understand are happening because of standards and practices, but at the same time, you can still tell great stories and the quality can still be high,” the actor told Variety.
Ventimiglia knows it firsthand.

NBC finally drew the curtain on its hit-series “This is Us” on May 24, 2022. The series finale of the tear-jerking drama series aroused gloomy reactions across the board — fans and casts alike, “This is Us” is our favorite thing.
The words of William Hill’s ghost to Rebecca Pearson in the final episode sums up how we all feel. “The way I see it, If something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening.”
Pretty wonderful might be an understatement when describing a show that held its audience spellbound from the moment its trailer was released online — nearly 80 million views within two weeks.
In its first season, the multiple award winning family drama series averaged 15.3 million viewers. And even though the figures have dropped over the years, there are still a few shows with such a cult following like “This is Us.”

As heartbreaking as it was to lose Jack Pearson in Season 2 of This Is Us, we never really lost him – or his portrayer, Milo Ventimiglia – thanks to the magic of TV flashbacks. We also got to see Jack reunite with wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore) in the afterlife in the series’ penultimate episode, “The Train,” when the Pearson matriarch completed her final journey. Fortunately, Kate (Chrissy Metz), who was out of the country when Rebecca took a significant downward turn, made it back in time to say goodbye to her mother. “As a viewer, as an actor, I was so grateful for that experience,” Moore told TV Insider at the This Is Us FYC (For Your Consideration) Emmy event at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on May 22. “I know not everyone gets to have that story,” the actress adds. “I can’t imagine the grief and guilt...
