I said [to the <em>This Is Us<\/em> producers], \u201cIf we\u2019re going to hire actors to play Miguel\u2019s family, let\u2019s hire Puerto Rican actors and be as authentic as possible.\u201d They [helped] honor the truth of who I am as a person, who I am as an actor, and who Miguel is. Our showrunner\/creator Dan [Fogelman], our [other] producers and writers took good care of this [episode].<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can you say about the episode? How far back will we go into the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll definitely see Jack and a much younger Miguel. He\u2019ll be <em>much<\/em> younger. We\u2019ll actually see Miguel before he met the Pearsons. We\u2019re going to see a lot of Miguel\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Milo once shared with TV Insider that Jack would be perfectly happy about Miguel and Rebecca finding happiness after his death. He liked the idea of Rebecca being supported by someone else he loves, his best friend. Thoughts?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think that we don\u2019t know how a love story is supposed to go. The divorce rate in this country is over 50% and that\u2019s not even counting the people who break up who are in long-term relationships. I think it\u2019s beautiful that Rebecca chose Jack\u2019s best friend [to spend part of her life with] and that Miguel chose her. We want to be friends with our life partner.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1042187\" style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1042187\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1042187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2028\" height=\"1353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel.jpg 2028w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/jon-huertas-this-is-us-miguel-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2028px) 100vw, 2028px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1042187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ron Batzdorff\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If Miguel had been the one married and he had died and if Jack had been single, I think Miguel would want his wife to be with someone he already knew and trusted. It\u2019s better than to have Rebecca out there in the dating world. I love the fact that Rebecca and Miguel found each other. I do think Jack would be OK with it, too. We know that Miguel will always honor Jack \u2014 even in his and Rebecca\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What plans do you have once <em>This Is Us<\/em> wraps? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I began directing on <em>This Is Us<\/em>. I was supposed to direct a block of episodes on a new Amazon series but I\u2019m officiating a wedding in Croatia [so the dates conflict]. I\u2019m looking at scripts to direct an independent film. I do want to take a break [when the show ends]. Before <em>This Is Us<\/em>, I was on a show in 2007 called <em>Generation Kill<\/em> [and then, <em>Castle<\/em>]. So, it\u2019s been over 15 years straight of being on TV [regularly]. I want to be picky with my next job. I want to honor the Latinx story, moving forward. I want to play characters who are very positive and give a window into someone who has success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And should NBC or Peacock call in the future to ask everyone to come back for more <em>This Is Us<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be there, for sure!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This Is Us<\/em>, Tuesdays, 9\/8c<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
