NBC’s Heroes Nabs Robert Forster as Pops
August 2nd, 2008 in Action, Actors, Adventure, TV, Top Ten List
Robert Forster is joining the cast of NBC’s Heroes. Sources have confirmed that Heroes has tapped Forster to play Nathan and Peter’s presumed-dead pops, Arthur Petrelli in Entertainment Weekly.
Given Heroes‘ penchant for time travel though, there’s no telling if we’ll see Arthur in the present day, via flashback, or during one of Hiro’s little excursions. Another unknown: Whether Arthur will use his powers (you know he’s got ‘em) for good or evil.
Rumors of Arthur’s possible “resurrection” this season have been burning up the Internets for months. And while it’s not clear WHEN Forster will first turn up, at press tour last month, his on-screen widow, Cristine Rose, hinted that a bombshell would be dropped in the two-hour premiere on Sept. 22. “There’s a secret that comes out that if you’re a true fan, you’re just going to DIE,” she teased. “It’s a good Angela secret, and it’s [not about] her powers.”
Well, considering the first hour of the premiere was screened at Comic-Con, and, per multiple eyewitnesses, no such Angela secret was revealed, it’s safe to say the big reveal will take place in Hour 2. Of course, whether or not said reveal is related to Arthur is also a big unknown.
