AceShowbiz - Milo Ventimiglia has recently returned to the set of "Gilmore Girls" to film his scenes on the Netflix revival. Attending the Portlandia Wizard World Comic Con, the actor dished on what his character Jess' return would mean to the show and the other characters.
"Jess is just up to Jess s**t. He's Jess," said the "Heroes" alum. "He's a little salty and ornery and kind of doing his own thing and has zero tolerance for anything. Or anyone." Ventimiglia went on teasing, "But he's also there to, kind of, push the ball forward for some folks in Stars Hollow, which is something that Jess has always done, whether intentionally, maliciously or positively; he's always sent people in a direction."
He also shared about his first day filming the continuation, "I had my first day of filming on Tuesday of this week, back at Warner Bros., which is a lot of fun. It's kind of the studio that raised me."
Ventimiglia will appear in three episodes of the four-episode revival. Add that with the return of Rory's other exes, Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki) and Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), this will likely complicate things up as series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has said Rory (Alexis Bledel) is "single" and "dating like any young woman with that face would be" on the revival.
Also tapped for the "Gilmore Girls" revival are Lauren Graham, Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Yanic Truesdale, Keiko Agena, Liza Weil, Danny Strong, David Sutcliffe, Sean Gunn, Vanessa Marano, Jackson Douglas and Emily Kuroda. Sutton Foster is the only new addition to the cast so far.
