SAG to Kill Heroes?

Heroes fans were cut short this past second season of the hit show, when the series ended early, thanks to a writer's strike. Now there's been rumors hinting at a possible Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike which could once again kill the show. According to a Syfyportal.com article, Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh) said the possibility is there, but he's hopeful the show will go on.

From Syfyportal.com:

"Hopefully producers and SAG will get together and sort something out," he told fans at the event. "My last scene [on 'Heroes'] was filmed on Oct. 23 so I'm hoping we'll get something together cause I'd really like to get back to work."

During the strike, projects were few and far between for Ramamurthy, but he was able to pass the time through sports.

"My tennis game got really good. I was playing all the time," he joked. "Things have to be changed on the way writers and actors are paid. And hopefully something will be done otherwise you might loose the show again for a while."

At the moment, SAG has about 120,000 members with the Federation of Television and Radio Artists following suit with approximately 70,000. About 40,000 actors also have dual membership.

Keep your fingers crossed fans that we head into Season 3, "Villains" where the only killing will be from Sylar and his band of new bad guys, not a SAG strike.
