Stallone’s appearance was in part facilitated by This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia, who costarred with Stallone in the 2006 film Rocky Balboa.
Former action movie hero Sylvester Stallone will guest star in an episode, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Thursday.
When NBC’s breakout hit This Is Us returns for its second season this fall, it will include a very familiar face.
Given Kevin’s past insecurities about being a leading man, Stallone will help Kevin gain the mojo he needs to grow as an actor and, because this is This Is Us, a human being.
