The Big Picture The hit CBS freshman series Tracker, which has already been picked up for a second season, is closing out its first run of episodes having brought Colter Shaw back into the lives of both his sister and brother when they needed his help on different cases and he clearly has a ways to go before smoothing out relationships with each of them.
JUSTIN HARTLEY: It’s great. This career that we choose, this acting thing, is not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure, and there’s not a lot of consistency in it. But I’ve been lucky, for whatever reason, throughout my career. I was on Smallville, which had a really long run. That show was a top tier show for the network, so we had job security there. And then, with This Is Us, they renewed us for three seasons in a row instead of just one, which was awfully nice of them.
HARTLEY: Hopefully, they’ll tell a little bit more of the family backstory. We do a little bit of that at the end of the season. And then, hopefully next season, the supporting characters might get a bigger chunk, just because we know them now. When I started this show, you have to tell the story of the lead character, so you don’t have a lot of time to dive into the supporting characters’ lives, especially in the pilot. We’re watching his show, so we’ve gotta tell his story.

You don’t have a set location that you’re at and you’re always doing different things somewhere new. How does it feel to constantly have different people every week to work with?
Does Justin Hartley Want To Direct an Episode of 'Tracker'? You directed an episode of Smallville. You directed episodes of This Is Us. Are you thinking about directing an episode of this show, or is it too difficult to even think about when you’re in all of it? I really love the dynamic that Robin Wigert and Abby McEnany bring to the show, and the dynamic they have with Colter Shaw. What do you love about that dynamic? How have they shaped who Colter is?
