Justin Hartley has found his first project after This Is Us: the CBS television series Tracker, which has several well-known and gifted cast members in addition to Hartley. Ben H. Winters’ action drama series was given the highly sought-after post-Super Bowl timeslot, and it debuted on January 11, 2024, right after Super Bowl LVIII.
Tracker profited greatly by the network releasing its pilot episode just after the football game, which was one of the most-watched television shows in history. The Never Game, the first of Jeffery Deaver’s four books in the Colter Shaw series, was published in 2019. Tracker is based on this book.
Hartley plays Colter Shaw, the show’s protagonist, a skilled survivalist with a troubled history who is great at finding people who have vanished from sight.
Despite leading a solitary existence for the most part, Colter relies on a select group of people to help him with his investigations; these people, along with some of Colter’s relatives, comprise the remainder of the Tracker cast.
Cast & Character Guide
After a highly regarded tenure as Kevin Pearson on This Is Us, Justin Hartley is the star of Tracker on CBS. Although Hartley was raised in the Chicago suburbs, he was born in Galesburg, Illinois, on January 29, 1977.
Hartley immediately pursued an acting career in college, majoring in theatre at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the University of Illinois at Chicago after graduating from high school.
Early in his career, the actor’s breakthrough performance was as Fox Crane in the NBC daytime soap series Passions, which lasted from 2002 to 2006.
In Tracker, the former cast member of This Is Us now plays Colter Shaw. Every episode of the action drama series features Colter, the main character, being hired by people to carry out rescue missions across the nation. In Tracker, Robin Weigert plays Teddi Bruin.

Weigert largely performed on stage after graduating, but she later relocated to Los Angeles to seek a career in cinema and television, and she eventually found success in those endeavours.
Weigert’s breakthrough performance was in the Western television series Deadwood, which HBO cancelled after three seasons, where she played Calamity Jane. Weigert appears in the action drama television series on CBS as Teddi Bruin. One of Colter’s managers, Teddi, assists him in searching for new employment online.
