That's true. Walter Matthau.
It's already picked up.
Mm-hmm.
When you guys shot. Yeah. Had you worked with Milo before? Yes. We did a film together. A Jason Statham film called Wild Card. Of course you did. Yeah.
Yeah, we shot it in New Orleans. We didn't overlap a lot, but when we did, it was always a very grounding presence. With Statham or with Milo?
It was one of those where, like... Yeah, yeah. I mean, offer only. Offer only. But it was also, like, a wonderful surprise. Like, it wasn't like things were just rolling in. Okay. And I also had just come off a show that was... didn't get picked up for a third season. No, it was this other show called I'm Dying Up Here.
And so it was this weird in-between land where you're like, I'm not sure if this show's going to go anymore. And so my agent called me and he was like, I've never been this excited about something for you. And he was like, there's this arc on This Is Us that that I was in Atlantic City at my mother's dancing school's dance competition. Okay. Where, like...
I found out about this, and I talked to Isaac Aptaker on the phone at this dance competition, and he pitched me this arc, and I was like, sounds crazy. You're going to go to Vietnam on this show. Right. I mean, you're going to be on This Is Us, but in Vietnam. In Vietnam, yeah. And it wasn't totally clear exactly. He didn't tell me everything, but he told me, He told me a lot.
He basically told me the first four or so episodes that I was on. Yeah. Gotcha.
That's a great question. I think like eight or something. Yeah. Eight or nine. Over the course of the show. Or something like that. And so, but no, I hadn't spoken to Milo just via text a little bit. Yeah. Okay. And then it wasn't until I showed up.
There was like this very, you know, a very brief but intensive little boot camp that they did with the soldiers, the actors who played the soldiers in the show. And as one would expect, this took place in Lake Piru. And as one would expect, Milo was like... Leading the charge. Leading the charge. And actually... I was late. I was late the first day because they weren't bringing me to it.
And so it was like the morning of and I was like, I found out. I was like, I think I should go to this. They were excluding me from it. And I kind of weaseled my way in. So I showed up late. And I forget his name, but the consultant who was running that boot camp. Didn't know that you...
weren't supposed to but yeah yeah but he was also like hey you're late like sure kind of giving me shit like don't like we don't get late here and milo was like hey no no you're not gonna give him shit right now he fully that's right jack pearson yeah yeah yeah and i was like yeah man
That ain't no wig, my man. Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. That's all me. It became a wig later in the show. Got it, got it, got it.
Shoulder length.
Or do they, I'm not sure. I'm not sure we really discussed a lot about, about, um, the history of the family, their, their mother. I don't, I don't remember any specific conversations with, with Isaac or, Elizabeth or Dan, or Ken even, I feel like that was... That was one of the things that when I read the script, it was just a detail.
And obviously, I had caught up in the show a little bit, so I knew about it. But that was something I... The script informed me of, so to speak. Yeah. But we didn't really discuss it.
But one thing I'll say is that when we... Milo and I all the time, especially outside of the Vietnam stuff, like all the stuff within that Pearson home, that Pearson home, all those scenes, there was something that felt very... very lived in already. Like it felt like it was all laid out for us.
And we were just like, you know, when you're, when you're acting in something and you're like, oh, I'm kind of just like living this other parallel life. It felt like that. It felt, and we would look at each other sometimes and unspoken, unspoken looks to each other where we would be like,
this works yeah that's there yeah that's like that feels right yeah no nothing felt nothing ever really felt like out of out of i guess rhythm is the wrong word but it felt like nothing ever felt out of rhythm in that sense the scene of you two getting ready to go watch the draft at a bar yeah was was one of those scenes where i was just like this just feels
