Justin Hartley’s “This Is Us” character Kevin Pearson gets a bad rap, the actor believes, to the point that he wouldn’t dare call him a “bad guy” and is instead “misunderstood.”

“It was just like, the guy can’t get out of his own way, but he’s not a bad guy, but everyone thinks he’s kind of an a–hole, you know what I mean? But he’s really not,” Hartley said in an interview with EW.

“He’s misunderstood, but maybe kind of an a–hole, you know,” Harley added. “So you sit there and you go, ‘Man, I wish I could help this guy,’ but you just can’t.”
