Full Episode
Hey, everybody. Chris Sullivan here with another re-release episode for our holiday break here on That Was Us. Today, we are listening back to one of my favorite episodes, our interview with our favorite person, John Huertas, who played Miguel on the show. We also refer to him as the most interesting man in the world. You'll soon learn why. He is a man of many talents.
We get into him studying musical theater while he was in the Air Force. And that right there would be enough for anybody to be the most interesting person in the world. We also talked to him about an interesting audition experience where he later realizes that Norman Lear was sitting over there.
He finds out from hair and makeup that he's married to Rebecca in the future and many, many other stories. It's one of my favorite interviews that we've done. It came out early on. So here is a chance to listen again. Hope you're all having a good holiday. We will be back with new episodes on January 21st, 2025.

welcome to a very special episode of that was us we have a very special guest in the house today everybody's favorite step dad slash caretaker slash dad's best friend slash just all-around homie ladies and gentlemen we're talking about john huertas welcome to the show thanks guys thanks for having me me Thank you for being here, man. That's right.
I want to start off with something that I was asking. We were talking in episode 108, and we were talking how early on in the show, like the public perception of Miguel was not the most positive, shall we say. We could say that. They didn't have the information they needed. They didn't have the information they needed.
I was like, if they could flash forward to season six and see that Miguel episode. Slow burn, guys.
Slow burn. The first question I have to Huertas as the actor Was that sort of like dislike from the public of the character internalized in any shape, form or fashion? Did you have any feeling about it as you were going through it and people were like, nah, dude, that ain't right. You shouldn't have got with your best friends. Did you have any feelings?
You know, I think, first of all, when the audience reacts the way that they react, it's something that we as actors can sometimes take personally. Sure, sure, absolutely. And you know, you learn, when you study acting, you learn that, you know... You studied? I did, a little bit. I did, a little bit. How dare you? First of all, how very dare you.
