Following the end of Milo’s role on Gilmore Girls, he hit the big screen to star with Sylvester Stallone in the final installment of the Rocky Balboa series. He played Rocky’s son. After going back to the small screen for a little while, Milo finally found a show that stuck and a character he connected with on a much deeper level.
In 2016 Ventimiglia landed the role of Jack Pearson the kind, caring, fun loving father from the hit NBC drama This Is Us. Milo starred alongside Mandy Moore played his wife and Sterling K. Brown who played his son. This show quickly became a phenomenon with audiences from across the globe tuning in every week, making sure they didn’t miss a minute of the episode. Even after the episode of Jack’s death in the house fire aired, he assured fans this wasn’t the last they would see of Jack! It was just the beginning.
There is literally nothing this man can’t do! From stealing my tween girl hear playing the role of Jess on Gilmore Girls. To starring alongside a legend Sylvester Stallone in the very last Rocky movie ever. Now Milo’s playing the picturesque father figure who would do anything for his family on This Is Us.
