- Let's talk about Jack.
- Sure.
- He's got no game.
You can figure out how to
get an umbrella, okay?
It was raining hard.
- Well, are you saying he could have stolen one?
- I think he's so charming
he could have finagled with the
guy at the stand like "hey."
It's Jack. I just got back.
I've been serving my country.
- Yeah. But back in the day,
that wasn't the thing you say.
Maybe nowadays it's a little different,
but back then, Vietnam era, you know,
these guys weren't quite heralded.
- And you wanted her to play games.
- And he wanted to play, like... and
That's the thing.
Like he really wanted to show her
that they could have a nice time
at a carnival. But really, you know,
Jack is struggling.
Jack's having a really hard time.
And he never wants to be
anyone else's problem.
That's what I actually I do admire
and identify with Jack.
Struggles, you don't put 'em on anyone else.
You just kind of hang on to 'em.
But what's nice, is....
what Rebecca allows Jack to be.
And that's just himself.
- What she *loves* right at the top
is the way you look at her.
Can I get a fake look like that?
Just look at me like that for one second, Milo.
Let's just get lost...
and it's just there, I mean
who cares about the umbrella?
He's really good!
Oh my god!
That was really good.
- She took her ring off, and...
- On a serious note.
I'm thinking about your dad.
Your real-life dad.
How cool that you're gonna go
and shoot in Vietnam?
Your dad served in Vietnam.
- Dude, yeah.
- I think the poetry there is phenomenal.
- It's pretty cool. I mean, the fact that...
I still think we're a small show.
I really do.
I feel like we're a small, family show.
So... to be able to leave the country
and go somewhere, you know, that...
a horrible, horrible atrocity of war
impacted this culture, and be there
kind of retelling some of these stories is...
It's a grand gesture, you know?
- What's that gonna mean to your dad?
I mean, I know he loves watching you
and this show.
I wonder what his reaction is going to be.
- You'll have to ask him.
- I think that's really cool.
- Yeah, it's interesting, you know?
I mean the thing too, it's like my dad
has his stories, and I know a lot of
veterans of war have their stories.
But what they can all agree on is that...
It's complicated. And it's not easy.
And I think what we're gonna explore
with Jack... it may be...
I don't even want to say reminiscent.
It may be something that, you know
a veteran can look back and
reflect on their own time served and say,
"Wow. I know what that feels like."
Much like... someone who battles
alcoholism can watch a scene where
where Jack is you know telling his kid
he's got a drinking problem.
Say "Wow. I can identify with that."
So, if anything,
all we're trying to do is is
do honor to the folks that are
in these places in life.
Be it war...
Be it struggle...
Be it... anything.
And just honestly tell stories that
hopefully show the good in all of us.
- I know we're on the "This Is Us" red carpet, but
the movie with JLo...
- Oh yeah!
- JLo and Milo...
- She's rad.
- So have we started shooting?
- No the movie's done. It comes out...
Yeah, it comes out uh...
Oh god, I think the date changed.
It comes out sometime end of this year.
But, oh she's incredible.
- How was it?
- I saw it! The movie is great, too.
By the way, the movie's really rad.
It's called... okay, man...
It's called "Second Act"
Stars Jennifer Lopez and...
Vanessa Hudgens and ...
Leah Remini and...
Treat Williams and
a whole bunch of other great actors.
And it's fun. It's one of those
fun movies that you look forward to
with Jennifer Lopez.
It's great. I'm stoked to be a part of it.
- Is she in your phone?
Are you and JLo buds now?
- Yeah, she's my pal!
But she was my pal before the film.
And then I heard that she said,
my guys told me, like,
"hey, Jennifer wants you to play this part"
I'm like, "oh cool!"
And then they're like,
"No no really. She just wants you"
And I'm like, "Oh! Cool!"
And yeah, and we...
- I'm in!
- Yeah, "I'm in."
And we just shot this movie, and
it was fun. She's such a pro, and
she's such a beautiful spirit and...
I'm excited for people to see the movie.
- Just like you.
