Milo Ventimiglia as Director
Milo Ventimiglia is flexing his film skills directing a 12-episode series called "It’s a Mall World" for American Eagle. The series will be aired on MTV starting in August.
"I guess I as an actor registered with their demo," jokes Ventimiglia, who also heads up Divide Pictures, his own film and television production company. "When [American Eagle] first presented this to me to direct, I said ‘Well can I bring my company in? Can I make this a bigger project? Believe it or not, I actually conceptualize."
The multi-tasking actor/director brought together a large cast and crew to explore the relationships between a group of teens working at a local mall — being a former mallrat himself, the Heroes star admits the concept wasn’t a real stretch.
"Yeah, so [I used to go] to the Mall of Orange and that got a little too rundown," he admits. "But as you got older, all the hot little girls that grew up in Newport went to South Coast Plaza and so you have to go to South Coast Plaza or Fashion Island."…
"I’m happy showing up to Heroes and just being an actor," he insists. I enjoy the process [of directing], but I don’t want to force it. I don’t want to start saying ‘put the camera here’ just yet. "

Milo is a young actor who will go places because he is focused.
Why do some of you take his break up with AB so personal. It happens all the time in Hollywood and didn’t she split from him?

He deserves this opportunity more than anybody.

Hey…! Please don’t take the break up of milo and alexis seriously. It’s their privacy you know… plus, don’t judge milo as an asshole, can you prove that milo did bad things to alexis and called her with bad name? however, if he truly did it, there must be reasons for it. You do things for a reason right?!
by the way, depend on my subjective vision (coz I love milo), milo is a nice, polite, honest and down-to-earth guy. I believe that he did the break-up for some good reason.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Milo can’t be that bad with women, after all he was raised w/2 or 3 sisters who probably taught him how to treat a lady. This blame game is hilarious. Ms. Bledel has probably NOT lost any sleep over it either.

@ Jessica
Everywhere I go to spot Milo pictures you’re there with those blunt remarks about him. Do you AB personally? DO you know they had a bad break-up because of Milo? No you don’t because thank god for them, they kept it private. So grow up and get over it. They’re not together anymore, end of story. How would you like it to be called a b**** for breaking up with somebody? Not fun, so please stop it.
