Justin Hartley Has All The Praise
On X (formerly Twitter), actor Eric Braeden commended Justin Hartley for his recent performance in the series Tracker. Justin, who portrayed Eric’s on-screen son Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless, has since taken on a new role, but Eric still feels like a proud father. Hartley played Adam Newman for nearly three years, from 2014 to 2016, before leaving the show to star in NBC’s This Is Us.
After the tremendous success of This Is Us, which ran for six seasons, Justin Hartley has now taken on a new challenge with Tracker. Not only is he the lead actor, but he also serves as the executive producer. The series airs on CBS, and its second season has just begun.

He simply is BELIEVABLE!”
