'“After ‘Heroes,’ I had a hard time working, I couldn’t get a job,” Milo Ventimiglia says. “It was one of the one or two times in my career where I thought about, what if I did something else? What if I got out of Hollywood?”

Sunday, Feb. 19. Produced by Ventimiglia’s DiVide Pictures, which he co-founded with his best friends Russ Cundiff and Dino DeMilio in 2003, the series follows his character Charlie Nicoletti, a sweet but sneaky conman who, after getting blindsided by a heartbreak, begins a romance with Catherine Haena Kim’s Emma Hill, a CIA agent who is also recently single.“There’s an honesty to how we’re portraying these characters, within the confines of that intimacy that you find in your romantic partner.

For the last decade, motorcycles were a big part of Ventimiglia’s life — he previously partnered with Harley Davidson to judge a bike building competition. Like his character Charlie, it was his choice method of transportation.
