NEW YORK \u2015 We\u2019ve seen a lot of variations of Jack Pearson on \u201cThis Is Us,\u201d spanning several years \u2015 from his younger, clean-shaven days to his full-bearded look. <\/p>\n
But in next week\u2019s Season 2 finale, viewers will get the chance to see Milo Ventimiglia playing a much older version of Jack \u2015 gray hair and all. The episode will show what Jack would have looked like many years later if he hadn\u2019t died from cardiac arrest after saving his family, their dog and their keepsakes from a house fire. Essentially, it\u2019s a present-day Jack at what appears to be the wedding of his daughter Kate (Chrissy Metz).<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s a version of Jack that everybody would have liked to have seen and they are excited to see. For me, selfishly it gives me another opportunity to work with actors on the show that I may not be able to work with because of Jack\u2019s early passing,\u201d said Ventimiglia, who sat down with HuffPost Thursday at the New York City Fire Department Engine 8 to discuss the importance of changing batteries in smoke detectors as part of a partnership with Duracell. <\/p>\n
So what would Jack have been like if he did live into his 70s?<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019d be much like the younger Jack. I think he\u2019d be happy to be around his kids, happy to be around his wife,\u201d Ventimiglia said. \u201cHe\u2019d probably be building homes somewhere.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
