Sylvester Stallone to guest star on 'This Is Us' season 2

Action star Sylvester Stallone is set to make a special appearance in the second season of "This Is Us".
Showrunner Dan Fogelman made the revelation at the TCA summer press tour, reported Variety.
The 71-year-old veteran actor will appear in a guest starring role opposite Justin Hartley's character as a co-star in his new film within the series.
Fogelman told reporters that Stallone is only currently booked for one episode, but "It's a big part," he said.
"It's a war period film that Justin is starring in. Stallone is coming in as himself in the show but playing a character in the film who's a mentor figure who starts bringing up some stuff for Justin's character involving Jack and his relationship with his own father," he added.

Fogelman said Stallone's character talks to Hartley's character about themes that hit home for him in a "beautiful monologue about life," he said. "He as learned what's happened to Kevin with his father. He talks about his life experience and loss and ageing and the business."
Stallone previously appeared with "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia in the 2006 film "Rocky Balboa," though it is doubtful the two will share any screentime in the NBC series due to its multiple timelines.
Other guest stars lined up for this season include Dan Lauria and Debra Jo Rupp.
