Now Ventimiglia is stepping into the role of a con man on the action series,The Company You Keep, alongside Kim, who plays a CIA agent. The show’s premise follows the two characters as they continue their action-packed careers while falling in love.
During an interview onThe View, the actor described his character, Charlie Nicoletti, as a smooth-talking swindler that is a “good bad guy.”
“He’s pulling off cons … which is the bad side,” Ventimiglia said on the daytime talk show. “The good side is he has a moral compass. They’re not just going after anybody, they’re going after people that kind of deserve it.”
