plans for a S 4.0 rewatch!!
Yes, indeed, I'm goin' in. There are six weeks until Heroes returns to the air - and in that time I am going to try to rewatch the season so far. I enjoyed it so much, and since Hulu is being so nice as to keep all the season's episodes available, I'm damn well gonna make use of that

I honestly have no idea. I really, really don't. I don't know what his stature is in the industry right now; I don't know how he feels about acting, or what kinds of roles interest him - if he wants to do more cerebral acting-acting, or more action roles, or more sexy leading-man roles, or what. I really can't tell.
I don't think he's having anxiety about his role as an actor; I don't get the impression that he cares all that much about it. He does it when he can, and does a good job, and has a good time with it, but juding by an interview I read (or heard...) a couple of years ago, he just wants to make as much money as he can while he can, and get out of the game and have some kids and a house. Things might have changed since then. I do know that he's an insanely focused and active workaholic; he doesn't sleep much, EVER; he doesn't like to take any time off at all, or take it easy, even during the course of a single day; he doesn't seem to care about the Hollywood scene; and he's extremely interested in helping people, especially veterans, with the kind of intensity that gives me the impression of a guilty conscience - or at least a VERY intense personal connection. I think he made some good friends when he went to visit troops in Iraq during one of the early Heroes hiatuses, and now is utterly beholden to them, their families, and anybody who has had a similar experience.
I like Milo but I can't figure him out at all. I have no idea what he wants, or why he does the things he does. But yeah, I see him as more of a producer and director, which is a goddamn shame, because it's a waste of that beautiful face and body. I want MORE of that. But that's his choice, y'know?
He doesn't strike me as a very happy person. He's not exactly the anti-Adrian, but he just seemed to be happiest when they were around each other. Maybe Milo's just one of those people, like my mom, who looks kind of pissed-off and mean just as their baseline, when that's not how they FEEL at all. He was incredibly nice and very bright and genuine when I met him; not an ounce of pretension or superiority. But he also doesn't have much "celebrity" going on; he's gorgeous and has bushels of star quality, but he doesn't have that sparkly glow of privilege that some other actors (or musicians, or artists, etc.) give off - a desperate need for attention. Milo doesn't have that.
It baffles me as to why one type of attractiveness / talent goes mainstream while another doesn't.
It's mostly a function of marketing, not attractiveness, although Milo's paralyzed lip nerve makes a lot of people really nasty and freaky and judgmental (especially heterosexual men, who, in my experience, all think Milo's ugly and weird-looking because of it).
I would like to see him in more roles, both in films and on TV. I don't know if that's what he wants, though. And with the Heroes backlash, he might not have a chance.
