Justin Hartley, widely known for his role in This Is Us, is opening up about the survival tactics he's learned from playing Colter Shaw in CBS’s thrilling series Tracker. In an interview with Us Weekly, Hartley explained that playing a character in intense, high-stress situations has taught him to stay calm and patient. He emphasized the importance of avoiding panic, as it often leads to bad decisions, a lesson he carries with him both on and off-screen. According to Hartley, Colter Shaw’s ability to maintain composure in chaotic moments has had a lasting impact on his own personal life.
To keep up with the physical demands of his role, Hartley has focused heavily on fitness.

Hartley revealed that the physical demands of his character are set to increase, but he’s ready for the challenge. Tracker’s third season is expected to premiere between 2025 and 2026, keeping fans on the edge of their seats for more heart-pounding action.
