This Is Us

Season 3 M-Net (*101) 21:00 Drama

“Being the hot guy on set sucks!” says Jason Hartley, who plays triplet Kevin Pearson in the present world of drama series This Is Us (2017- current). “People look at you on the outside and think that you got the job for your sixpack abs, your chiselled jaw, your perfect smile. I just want to be recognised for my acting skills. I can’t help that I look as good as I do, can I?”

1 The 41-year- old got into acting to impress girls in high school and it got him his first wife too. Justin married Lindsay Korman in May 2014 after they worked together on soap Passions (1999-2008) from 2002 to 2006 – she played Theresa and Justin played Nicholas Crane.

2 They split after one daughter (Isabella, 14) and eight married years, using the standard “irreconcilable differences” reason. Justin then married Chrishell Stause (Jordan on Days Of Our Lives, 1967- current) in 2017 after four years of dating.

3 He played basketball, baseball and soccer in school but these days says that the only exercise he gets is running after his beagle-terrier cross The Gooch.

4 Justin was the first live-action Green Arrow character, which he played in seasons 6-10 of sci-fi series Smallville (2001-2011). He considered auditioning for the 2012current Arrow series but admits that “I wouldn’t be able to compete with Stephen Amell”.

5 He uses a beard trimmer to keep his stubble looking good but he has a secret: “I shave twice a day, once at 8am and then at 8pm,” says Justin.
