HEROES
Welcome to Milo's TV show 'Heroes' discussion thread

ROLE: Peter Petrelli

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A male nurse. A young dreamer who tries to convince his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar) that he can fly.

Scheduled to premiere on September 11, 2006.
There are diverging reports on the premiere date. Two sites for the show, had an initial debut of September 18th, but now apparently the show will premiere only on September 25th.
Of course, networks always change things around especially tv schedules, so as any new developments occur, it will be posted here.

SHOW DESCRIPTION: Produced by NBC/Universal/Tailwind. Drama, Action/Adventure, Science-Fiction series.
It is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives. Not only are they discovering what having superpowers means to them but also the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Eventually their superpowers draw them together when they try to evade the series' antagonist who wants to harness their super-DNA for himself.

(from NBC's press release) They thought they were like everyone else...until they woke with incredible powers. In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will. In New York, a struggling artist can paint the future. In Los Angeles, a discontented beat cop can hear the thoughts of others. Heroes chronicles the lives of these people, and the lives of others like them – whose destiny just might be the saving of humankind...but first they must come to grips with their newfound powers. This original, edge-of-your-seat thriller will make you wonder if there really are heroes among us.

The only information about the show that I will say at this time is to confirm that Milo's character's name was changed during filming. He will now be Peter Petrelli.

Milo will be attending the NBC upfronts on Monday

Congratulations to Milo! I'm so proud of him for the success he's getting in his career right now. I can't wait for this show!!!!

[~Maz~]

Oh yay!!!! This show sounds awesome. Im sooo happy Milo is in it. It looks like it's going to be a hit from what I saw and there's some familiar names in the cast.

Milo is truly awesome, and totally deserves this.

[Lipton Lee]

Being the HUGE comic book nerd that I am (I work in a comic shop ), This is so frickin exciting to me. Especially since there have been quite a few attempts by myself, and others (Punkcatwitissues) to stick Jess with super powers.

Any conformation on what his powers will be? I've heard a number of things, but I don't know what's true, and what's not.

[Liliya]

That is such great news, congratulations to Milo!

The synopsis of the show sounds great, and I can't wait to watch it. With the cast and the talent behind it, I'm sure that the show will be a hit.

[ramgirl]

I am happy that the show got picked up even thought it's not the type of show that i would watch i will be watching!!

Looking forward to hopefully getting some more info on the show on Monday!!

[Shanti70]

Yay!!! I'm so excited for this show and so proud of Milo. He just keeps moving on to better things. The show sounds so interesting and I am anxiously waiting to hear more about Milo's character and his super power.

[darcybennett]

I'm so freakin' proud of him for his steady progression in this business and all of the success he keeps garnering with every project and role he does.

Congratulations Milo!

I'm anxious and really excited about this show!! I can't wait for September!!

Leigh- I think his character has the ability of clairvoyance where he can see or sense the powers others have but without apparently having any particular powers of his own. And I believe he thinks he can fly. But I'm not entirely 100% positive though.

[ocfan27]

another new milo show!! i can't wait!!

[BrownEyedGirl25]

What a great opportunity for Milo!!!!! And Yay! Someone his own age!!!!

Here's hoping I bump into Milo this week!


LOL. Just kidding.

[Milo Maniac]

I'm so happy for Milo. His career is progressing

This show songs totally amazing, i will totally be checking it out. I can't wait for it, the show is totally what i'm interested in. ( i have a fetish with Superman )

I'm with you! I can't wait to see Milo on the screen again and also have no clue who Leonard Roberts is! And I call myself a Buffy fan...

I'll have to look it up.

To IMDB - AWAY!

ETA:

Roberts played Forrest in season 4 of Buffy. He was a "friend" of Riley's in The Initiative.

[Castagna]
