Beloved soap star, Justin Hartley is shining in primetime. He is starring as Kevin Pearson on NBC’s This Is Us but has also directed his first episode of the hit primetime drama. He wrote, “I had the honor of directing tonight’s episode. This crew is truly incredible. Can’t wait for you to see. #ThisIsUs“.
The Kate-centric episode airs tonight. In regards to directing he told TV Insider, “I got a chance to work with Ron Howard a couple of years ago and he’s just the nicest human being and super talented as well. He does everything. So I thought I would be remiss if I didn’t watch this masterclass. He does such a great job of explaining his philosophy on collaboration, and process, and detail, and how you get what you want, but also have to be open to other people’s ideas. And just listening to him talk about that and how humble he is, after everything he’s accomplished. [It’s] a really good thing that I watched this because it set the tone for how I was going to handle the set.“
Hartley played Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless and Fox Crane on Passions. Be sure to tune in!
