Justin Hartley goes from 'This is Us' to 'Tracker'
Sitting still unnerves Justin Hartley.
While making his new series, “Tracker,” Hartley had moments where he was on camera but wasn’t talking.
“It’s a bit scary in a way because you’re sitting there going, ‘OK, I’ve been silent for a good 40 seconds. Is that boring?’”

This isn’t another “Kingsman,” “Lost City” or James Bond. It’s a hodgepodge of ideas that never quite weave into coherence.
