Guess Who? - Heroes pics & question and answer post (image heavy!)
Santiago Cabrera - Isaac Mendez! On stage with Sendhil Ramamurthy - Mohinder Suresh.
Santiago & Sendhil Q&A:
- Santiago was content to leave the show even though initially he was 'devastated'. He was proud to have been part of such a huge show's first season and finds it win-win - because he got the boot, he had the chance to do different things, but if he was still there he would still be happy and not know what he was missing.
- His death scene involved having a prosthetic attached to his wrist and pushed against his palm, then the paintbrushes screwed into the thing on his palm so they look really tight. He thought it was an amazing way to go out
- Santiago loves football, and used to play
- Isaac's death was written for ep 7 but viewers connected with the character so he was given a "stay of execution" (or in his words, a "slower death")
- Sendhil's strangest fan mail was when a man sent him a large package every Tuesday morning after seeing Heroes the night before, CONVINCED that he could levitate. He sent him CD-ROMs, mathematical equations, and all kinds of 'research'. He told him that he was going to fly to the moon on Boxing Day - and never contacted him again.
- If Sendhil and Santiago were to be in a gay movie, they both want the other leading guy to be each other!
- They're close friends and see each other a lot
- Sendhil plays tennis religiously when he's not filming
- He thinks it's a reasonable assumption that he'll be playing off Adam in season 3/volume 3 and can't wait for the "battle of the fake English accents"
- The Indian accent was dropped because test viewers "thought it'd be sexier if I was proper and British", so it was "phased out" over 5 episodes
- He was asked about what he knows about Mohinder/Sylar fanfiction. He made matters worse an worse for himself when describing their "intense chemistry" "bouncing off each other" and "having a really really good time" - all meant completely innocently but taken by the hall in the dirtiest way possible, I think. Zachary is his favourite actor to work with
- He prefers "father Mohinder" to "son Mohinder" and thought Adair (Molly) was amazing to work with.
Jessalyn Gilig (Meredith Gordon) & Noah Grey Cabey (Micah Sanders):
Jessalyn & Noah Q & A:
- Noah now wants to go to college in England
- Noah loved filming 'Lady in the Water' with M Night Shalaman because he has a lot of respect for him as an actor, and thinks he was amazing. Also, he loved filming in Philadelphia because he was just doing American History and loved seeing the places where these things happened
- Noah's acting hero is Dakota Fanning, he thinks she's one of the best actresses, not only child actress
- Noah got into acting because he was on many talk shows as a musician and then his mother was contacted about 'My Wife And Kids'. She initially turned it down, but he objected, and when they called back they jumped at the chance.
- Out of everyone on set, he'd love to act opposite Greg (Matt) and Jack (Noah)
- Doing schoolwork is hard because he has to work on everything in between takes
- Jessalyn thought Julian McMahon was an absolute gentleman even in 'awkward, horrible, uncomfortable intimate scenes' and it was a pleasure to work with him
- Friday Night Lights is definitely coming back but she had no idea whether she'll be in it
David Anders (Kensei/Adam) & Cristine Rose (Angela/Mama Petrelli)
Cristine's response to David saying "The strangest fan gift I've ever had is pubic hair"
David & Cristine Q & A - This one was first, so I forgot half of what was said. Ask questions if you want, maybe it'll jolt my memory
- David auditioned to do the Japanese in Heroes by using a line of Indonesian that he recalled from Alias
- He was working in Gap before he got the Alias role
- He loves his lines on Heroes
- He was only supposed to have three episodes on Heroes but that was extended when he started to film (much like on Alias)
- Cristine's theory is that Nathan is the lovechild of Angela and Linderman. She's also convinced that all of the first generation heroes met at Woodstock and she slept with all of the guys. Including Adam. Just because.
- She thinks Angela does know everything she does is completely wrong but merely sees it as 'collateral damage'
- Half of eps 12 and 13 of the season had been filmed but she's heard that they may now be redoing the entire two episodes.
All of this is from the Eclipse convention in England this weekend attended by six Heroes cast members (main and recurring).
