Milo Ventimiglia to star in ABC conman drama pilot The Company You Keep

The Hollywood Reporter

Ventimiglia is set to play a conman in what could be his first post-This Is Us starring TV role. Based on the Korean drama My Fellow Citizens, The Company You Keep, from former A Million Little Things co-executive producer Julia Cohen, has the following description: "A night of passion leads to love between con-man Charlie (Ventimiglia) and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the ‘family business’ so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in-hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.” The Company You Keep keeps Ventimiglia, who will also executive produce the show, in the Disney family since This Is Us is produced Disney-owned 20th Television.
