"This Is Us": Justine Hartley Admits His Role As Kevin Is Slow But Moving Right
Justin Hartley gives some new insights into his character, Kevin Pearson, in the hit dramedy, "This is Us." Even though everything has been messy for Kevin and is moving slowly, the character is convinced that it will change things for him if he makes a significant decision.
Kevin's personal life has been not only an enigma but also a rollercoaster ride. He said that he wanted to live a meaningful life, which shows a deeper purpose and meaning for his career as well as his private life.
One dilemma seemed to be: Sloane or Olivia? His sister Kate's fiancé Toby, played by Chris Sullivan, pointed the way to his childhood sweetheart and ex-wife, Sophie. However, Sophie did not let him enter her life again - at least for a while. Still, it's not totally over, and there are some surprises in store, according to ET. But Justin Hartley is convinced that Kevin's route on "This Is Us" Is painfully slow.
He likes the manner in which the writers are "telling the story" that the character has decided to become a better person, yet it doesn't mean that he automatically becomes one, Justin told TV Guide in an interview, "It's baby steps. It's tough. It's stumbling and falling then picking yourself back up. It's persevering and setbacks."
The key to everything is to just keep moving on, reveals Justin. Even though Kevin is going slow, his movement is in the right direction. What will his next be? Something pretty unexpected, reveals Justin. It will take all his fans by surprise. He explained that he wanted Kevin to grow and try to get better.
Fans are eager to know what Kevin's personal life is going to be next. Will he solve his "four-way love quadrangle"? Watch "This Is Us" every Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on the NBC network.
