IGN Heroes' Interviews

IGN.com, a video game and entertainment website has 2 video interviews up from Heroes' cast members at San Diego's recent Comic-Con International. The interviews are with Zachary Quinto (Sylar) and James Kyson Lee (Ando).

Zachary Quinto (Sylar) discussed how great the environment has been at the show for Heroes' cast and fans. Quinto said he believe the show has accessible and well-explored characters with universal themes, and that is why the show has been such a success. Quinto said his character, Sylar, was very well-written and everything fell into place to make him such a popular villain. When asked if he was surprised he survived the Season finale, Quinto said he was glad to survive, but already knew he was scheduled for another season. He said his character's situation will play into the second season nicely and that Heroes will open with a smash and hit the ground running in season 2. Quinto also discussed his upcoming role as Spock in a new Star Trek movie.

James Kyson Lee (Ando) discussed how fun it has been for him to attend his first Comic-Con and check out all the exhibits and new show pilots. Lee said it's been tough for him to just blend in due to being recognized at the convention. Lee discussed how his Heroes character of Ando "represents the human race" in a way because he's the ordinary guy with no powers or abilities and in the dark about things just like the audience. He said his character went through tremendous growth in season 1 from a "non-believer" all the way up to supporting Hiro in his quest and facing Sylar. The only season 2 tidbit he dropped was that he and Hiro will start off in separate spots and hopefully re-unite for another adventure.
