Milo Ventimiglia<\/strong><\/a> made a rare comment about possibly appearing on Justin Hartley<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s hit series Tracker<\/em><\/a> after they worked together on This Is Us<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would. It would [depend on it being the] right time,\u201d Ventimiglia, 49, exclusively told Us\u00a0<\/em>when asked if he\u2019d ever appear on the show while discussing his Netflix movie A Dog\u2019s Perfect Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ventimiglia said he would love the chance to reunite with Hartley, adding, \u201cJustin, he\u2019s just the best dude on the planet. We had a great time on This Is Us and if there\u2019s ever an opportunity \u2014 of course I would. I\u2019d love to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ventimiglia got his start playing Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls<\/em> from 2000 to 2007 before finding success on shows including Heroes<\/em> and This Is Us<\/em>. The latter scored him three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tJustin Hartley\u2018s CBS series Tracker has won over its audience because of the intriguing cases \u2014 and the impressive guest stars. Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, is centered around a survivalist named Colter (Hartley) who travels the country helping people and law enforcement tackle a variety of mysteries. As the series unfolds, viewers learn [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After This Is Us<\/em> ended in 2022, Ventimiglia booked the lead role on ABC\u2019s short-lived series The Company You Keep<\/em>. On the big screen, Ventimiglia appeared in Land of Bad <\/em>and I Can Only Imagine 2<\/em>. He also had a fun cameo on Jensen Ackles<\/strong>\u2018 Prime Video show Countdown<\/em> last year before being attached to HBO Max\u2019s American Blue<\/em>, which was ultimately not picked up.<\/p>\n

Most fans \u2014 Us<\/em> included \u2014 are still holding out hope that Ventimiglia will reunite with his former This Is Us<\/em> son on Tracker<\/em>.

\u201c[We discuss it] all the time. If I\u2019m going to go with those kind[s] of big names, I gotta make sure I have a story,\u201d he noted in December 2025. \u201cThe show works because we\u2019re with Colter so much and he\u2019s just such an interesting actor that he\u2019s able to carry that big narrative load.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid confirmed there have been ongoing discussions about possible cameos.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve definitely talked about Sterling K. Brown, we\u2019ve talked about Mandy Moore and we have talked about Milo Ventimiglia,\u201d he shared. \u201cBut until it\u2019s really, really right \u2014 and matching the windows up in these people\u2019s calendars is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid concluded: \u201cIf I have the right story line, I will do it. But I\u2019m always opposed to just do[ing] a cameo. We have to get a good emotional story out of it or a fun story line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ventimiglia, for his part, has remained booked and busy. He participated in Amy Sherman-Palladino<\/strong>\u2019s upcoming HBO Max documentary about Gilmore Girls<\/em> and filmed his new Netflix movie<\/a> opposite Dennis Quaid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
