Justin Hartley continues to enjoy his award-winning run on This Is Us as angsty-Kevin Pearson. He recently spoke to a group of reporters to celebrate the hit NBC series and fielded a series of questions about the show and his life!

Speaking of Adam, how does he feel about the show recasting the part of Victor’s (Eric Braeden) presumed dead son.

Keep in mind, folks, the actor is likely kidding! He enjoyed his time in Genoa City greatly, earning a well-deserved nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his work on YR.
