Trivia for
"Heroes" (2006/II) Plus avec IMDbPro »

• Artist Tim Sale provides the artwork for Isaac's paintings. He is best known for his work on DC Comics' popular "Batman: The Long Halloween" series, which was used as an inspiration for Batman Begins (2005).
  
  
• Artist Tim Sale is colorblind.
  
  
• James Kyson Lee originally auditioned for Hiro (Masi Oka's character), but instead got the role of Ando.
  
  
• The Bennets' address is 9 Juniper Lane.
  
  
• The license plate on Kaito Nakamura's car is NCC-1701. George Takei, who plays Kaito, was Mr. Sulu in the original incarnation of "Star Trek" (1966) and NCC-1701 is the registry number of the USS Enterprise.
  
  
• The premiere episode on NBC attracted 14.3 million viewers overall and received the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.
  
  
• The casino that Hiro, Ando, Niki and Nathan visit in the early episodes of season one is the Montecito, the fictional casino featured in the NBC TV series "Las Vegas" (2003). The scene where Hiro and Ando are seen coming down an escalator, having used betting profits from the casino to suit up, pays a very strong homage to a similar scene in the movie Rain Man (1988).
  
  
• The type of watch Hiro has is "the Connect" made by Nixon Watches.
  
  
• Tawny Cypress (Simone) originally auditioned for the role of Ali Larter's character (Niki).
  
  
• Greg Grunberg (Matt) originally auditioned for the part of Peter Petrelli.
  
  
• It was originally intended for Claire's friend Zach eventually to be revealed as gay, and to have his coming out serve as a parallel to Claire's coming to terms with her secret abilities. However, when the manager for Thomas Dekker (the actor who played Zach) discovered that this development was in store for the character, she first insisted that a line identifying Zach as gay be deleted from a script, and then pulled Dekker from the show altogether. Producer and writer Bryan Fuller gave an interview in April 2007 in which he explained that Dekker "was up for the John Connor role in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (2008) and [the manager] didn't want him playing a gay character because it might affect Fox's interest in hiring him. It got really ugly." Fuller also said that through Zach's last appearances on the show, "in all of our minds, the character was still gay but we couldn't say it explicitly."
  
  
• Mr. Bennett's business card has no name, no phone number, and no other contact information. All it says is "www.primatechpaper.com". If you go to the URL, you'll find a rudimentary website for the Primatech Paper company, including a brief company history, a phone number (1-800-PRIMA-16), and an online job application, complete with personality test.
  
  
• In the German dubbed version the passages where a foreign language is spoken (i.e. Hiro and Ando speaking Japanese, Maya and Alejandro speaking Spanish) were not subtitled (as in the original version) but instead dubbed, too.
  
  
• "Kirby Plaza Building" is a tribute to the famous comic book artist, Jack Kirby.
  
  
• According to Heroes' creator, Tim Kring, Mr. Bennett has a distinct pair of glasses due to the fact he had very few lines in the beginning of the series, and needed to be recognizable by the audience. Also, Kring said the horn-rimmed glasses were chosen because they had a distinct "early days of the CIA" look.
  
  
• Mr. Muggle's (the dog's) real name is Lestat.
  
  
• The characters have biblical names surprisingly often: Peter, Nathan, Gabriel, Adam, Isaac, Noah, Eden, Matt (Matthew), Micah.
  
  
• Adrian Pasdar, who plays Milo Ventimiglia's brother, auditioned to play his father in the proposed "Gilmore Girls" (2000) spin off. The casting director at the time made the comment that Adrian could pass for Milo's brother because of their strong resemblance.
  
  
• The number featured on Primatech Paper's website (1-800-PRIMA16) leads to a rudimentary voice menu for Primatech Paper, including allowing the caller to enter an access number. The option for career info, as well as the corresponding option on the website, states that they are not accepting applications for employment, however.
  
  
• The series shares several actors with the "Star Trek" franchise: Cristine Rose (Angela Petrelli / TNG - Gi'rai), Zachary Quinto (Sylar / Star Trek [2009] - Spock), George Takei (Kaito Nakamura / Star Trek - Sulu), Malcolm McDowell (Daniel Linderman / Star Trek Generations - Dr Tolian Soran), Nichelle Nichols (Nana Dawson / Star Trek - Uhura), Dominic Keating (Will / Enterprise - Malcolm Reed), Erick Avari (Chandra Suresh / Enterprise - Jamin, DS9 - Vedek Yarka, TNG B'ljik), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (The Swordsmith / TNG - Bailiff), Thomas Dekker (Zach / Voyager - Henry Burleigh), Colby French (Hank / DS9 - Ensign Weldon), Mark Colson (Mr Zern / Voyager - Dream Alien), Franc Ross (Danny Pine / Enterprise - human), John Prosky (Principal / DS9 - Brathaw), Ronald Guttman (Dr Zimmerman / Voyager - Gath), Michael Dorn (U.S. President / TNG - Worf), and Ken Lally (The German / Enterprise - Security Officer).

• The algorithm in Dr. Chandra Suresh's computer, as it scrolls horizontally, presents gaps in the shape of the tattoo that's on the shoulder of Niki Sanders and of the pendant that the Haitian wears around his neck.

• The rotating earth featured in the series logo shows a bright spot just off the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. That is the site of an asteroid impact widely believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, which opened the way for the rise of mammals, thus the spot could be a subtle reference to the show's theme of a new evolutionary leap.
  
  
• In the third season the Luigi Bormioli produced drinking glass "Strauss" are used for bourbon and whiskey in several scenes. In one scene a character demonstrates her ability by freezing one of these glasses with content. The character that does this is called "Tracy Strauss".
