The actors played the roles of Jess Mariano, Luke Danes and their relatives. They also recalled what it was like to be on set together during Patterson’s ” All In” podcast episode. This included why Ventimiglia’s personality worked so well alongside any castmate.
The 44-year old This is Us star described himself as an “naturally outgoing introvert,” which 63 year-old Patterson also agreed.
“There’s a part of you that is introverted. The podcast host stated that it doesn’t mean you have to shut out the world or exclude people. While you work, people are still available to you. That fact impressed me always.”
Patterson admitted that Ventimiglia was his nephew, and Rory Gilmore’s ( Alexis Bledel) love interests for six seasons. He then posed a series questions to his guest. When asked if he would return for another Gilmore Girls episode, the Creed II actor gave a complicated answer.
Ventimiglia stated, “If they wanted to bring it back and it was Amy (Sherman-Palladino) Dan [Palladino] at helm and you guys all showed up, I’d have been a jerk to not show up.”
The Netflix reboot of Gilmore Girls – A Year in the Life was aired in 2016. “Can’t stop watching” podcast host said that there may not be much left to tell.
“The four films that were assembled after the fact is how I see it. It was like an extra piece of cake after having already eaten. That was your favorite meal. Ventimiglia said, “You had the cake and then they gave you something else.” “I don’t know if they would take it back.”
Patterson, on the other hand, recalls watching “Winter” of the reboot and thinking “Boy this was really well done.” He also noted that the Netflix episodes felt like “low-quality independent films” and “little rom-coms.”
Philadelphia native, he added that it didn’t feel like television anymore. It seemed like it had evolved into something. It evolved into the film industry.”
The American Dreams alumni explained further his views on acting and why revivals aren’t always the best thing.
Ventimiglia stated, “I also believe that we are artists and actors, and that we evolve, and grow.” These parts are iconic and may remain timeless, but I am looking forward to playing many more men throughout my career. There are many men that I would love to play, both complex and simple.
