What’s Milton Boyle’s Story?
There’s more to know about this mysterious Boyle because he’s definitely not your typical one as one might assume. According to the show’s storyline, Milton left high school in his junior year to pursue a career as a professional snowboarder. When he becomes a father to Gina’s child, he is already the proud owner of a winter apparel company that donates snow to the less fortunate.
His character also comes with some Boyle family complications. Talking about the dynamic between Milton and Charles Boyle, Phillippe said his character is looked at as the black sheep of the family. “Charles is pretty upset and talks about my character, Milton, as if he’s the black sheep of the family,” Phillippe said.
“The Boyles can’t understand my character’s success,” he added.
Lo Truglio, his cousin on the show, agreed. “He’s done nothing wrong at all. I think that’s the whole joke of it is that Charles just doesn’t see Milton as the hot hunk that he is,” Lo Truglio cheekily remarked.
So there you have it! Gina’s eccentric character found a black sheep on the show to father her child. Nine-Nine fans can sure imagine how amazing that child would be!
