His ultimate fate. This Is Us finally revealed Miguel’s history in the Tuesday, May 3, episode, and actor Jon Huertas exclusively told Us Weekly that “one of the most beautiful” scenes he’s ever filmed made the final cut.
Plus, he teased what his ending means for Rebecca’s story.“[It was] a long time coming, obviously, but yeah, I feel really proud of it,” Huertas, 52, told Us, adding that some of his own experiences inspired Miguel’s big episode.“Dan [Fogelman, showrunner] asked me at the very beginning when they were breaking the script, breaking the story and figuring it out, he said, ‘Hey, can you come into the writer’s room and talk to everyone?’ I did and I definitely talked about a lot of the stuff that I dealt with growing up, and we tried to infuse as much of that into Miguel as we could,” Huertas recalled.The personal episode showed Miguel immigrating with his family from Puerto Rico to the United States and using the name Mike Rivers on a resume to score a job.The New York native added, “I know that I’ve had a hand in kind of creating who Miguel is over the years.
We started out [and] the character was named Mike. He was just kind of a general best friend to Jack. And so, when … we switched [the name] to Miguel, we infused a lot of who I was — ethnically, personality-wise — into the character.
So it’s nice to be able to continue that all the way to this episode.”In addition to showing his childhood, Tuesday’s This Is Us also followed Miguel’s romance with Rebecca (Mandy Moore), starting with how they reconnected over Facebook and ending with his death.
