“Sofia’s got a really great sense of humor,” Hartley informed E!News “There were a couple of moments where she took some liberties, she did a little adlibbing, which allowed me to do a little adlibbing. And the characters became more and more annoyed with each other, specifically Jake becoming annoyed with her, not really the other way around, and we had a lot of fun with that.”
Improvising on Quantum Leap is something Hartley stated not a great deal of visitor stars get the opportunity to do. But on This Is Us, it was something that was motivated.
“The reason you were here is because you’re gonna bring something for us to the show, so please, ‘Tell us, what do you want to do?'” he shared. “‘Let’s go. We’ll have fun with you.’ We liked that, and Quantum Leap has the very same type of ambiance.”
While the concept of jumping into another individual like Ben does on the program does not sound interesting the Hartley, there is one occasion in history the star would enjoy to take a trip back to.
