Though all of the acting in Netflix’s I Will Find You was stellar, there’s no doubting that Milo Ventimiglia was the shining star.<\/p>\n

Introduced early as the ex-boyfriend of journalist Rachel, Milo Ventimiglia’s Hayden Payne was captivating from the first moment – if only because he’s stupidly hot.<\/p>\n

Throughout the rest of the Netflix<\/a> show, he cemented himself as the shining white knight, which is why *that* final twist took us all by surprise. Hayden was behind everything, from faking Matthew’s death and kidnapping him to setting up David as the killer. Milo Ventimiglia’s personality switched at this point, taking Hayden from the boy next door to Ryan Guzman in The Boy Next Door. You know, the one where he’s hot but also a massive psycho.<\/p>\n

Lots of people have been talking about Milo Ventimiglia’s performance, comparing it to his earlier roles.<\/p>\n

Milo Ventimiglia’s acting credits are many<\/h2>\n

Milo Ventimiglia has one of those faces where you can’t quite place where you know him from. Over the years, he’s played major parts in shows like Gilmore Girls, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Heroes, Gotham, and This Is Us. His film credits are just as impressive, lending his talents to Rocky Balboa, Creed II, and Grown Ups 2.<\/p>\n

After years of acting, Milo has cultivated a certain image. He usually plays the attractive, wholesome type, which is actually why he was cast in I Will Find You.<\/p>\n
