The This Is Us star tells Access he seriously considered leaving acting and moving to Italy to work as a farmer after acting roles dried up following Heroes' cancelation in 2010. “I’ve had moments where I’ve had to pick myself up," he says. "Probably in my early 30s, I couldn’t get hired in town. I really couldn’t. That was back in the Heroes days. I did not work for one calendar year. One entire year, I couldn’t get a job.” Ventimiglia adds: "I was really having to re-evaluate what I was going to be doing because, you know, it’s a profession. You need to feed yourself and clothe yourself and have a roof over your head. I was starting to see those things minimize.”
