He doesnt speak and its all him listening and getting affected…
He was brilliant in that and you could see the pain in his eyes and everything.
The only person hes leaning on is this complete stranger.
Its just a beautiful scene.
It was a historic 1946 father cry.
SUSAN KELECHI WATSON (Beth): Dr. K gives that great speech to Milo, but Milos eyes.
You could just see hes half in the room with him and half with his wife.
He needs the comfort so it starts to sink in but hes not saying anything.
Hes just breathing, and his eyes.
That one gets me.
Im not a crier but I felt so connected to them.
I was in the room with them at the hospital watching him get that news.
RON CEPHAS JONES (William): That really got me, man.
Milo and McRaney were so good together.
It was such a poignant scene.
That was just so beautiful the way he delivered it.
Its what Milo says with his eyes.
Theres little small moments that capture a lifetime in a moment, almost like fragments of photography.
If its captured right, those moments stay with you.
Theres a simplicity to the specificity to the work thats just very rare.
Kate consoles Kevin by referencing the Dr. K lemonade adage that Jack used to say.
(Episode 1)
MILO VENTIMIGLIA (Jack): That gets me every time.
You understand who these people are.
Im getting emotional thinking about it, you know?
The weight of the responsibility of being a father to them…. Its a proud papa moment for me.
I was bawling bawling because everybody wants that kind of love.
