Good stuff... Hopefully Ch7 will treat it with some respect... if it isn't too much to ask.

Helmsman does Heroes
George Takei plays father of a Star Trek fan in TV hit with sci-fi content

February 02, 2007

When most fans think of George Takei, the first thing that pops to mind is Captain Kirk's classic Star Trek utterance to his helmsman "Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!"

Now the actor is enjoying a resurgence on the science fiction-inspired hit show, Heroes. In last Monday's episode, Takei made his debut as Kaito Nakamura, the father of Hiro, the character played by Masi Oka. Takei plays a wealthy businessman who isn't particularly supportive of his son's quest to be a hero.

After that brief introduction, in upcoming episodes his character will be featured in a more prominent, recurring role.

In a freewheeling conference call yesterday, the actor discussed his life and current role, hinting that there are several interesting developments in store for his Heroes character, although there are things he remains in the dark about, or at least didn't feel like sharing.

excerpt on article on George Takei:

Heroes" creator Tim Kring appears to operate on a need-to-know basis with his actors, and Takei, who had filmed three episodes by mid-January and described his commitment to the show as "open-ended," said he's learning about his character a little bit at a time.
"I go from script to script," he said.
What he knows:
"I'm a powerful industrialist. We come from a very distinguished family, an old-line family. I was brought up that way, and I thought I would bring up my son that way, but I'm discovering that there are strange things happening."
Beyond that, "I really don't know who my character is and why my character does what he does, and what his motivations are and where he's going, because with each new script, I make new discoveries. And is he good or is he bad, is he domineering or is he being told to behave that way? I mean, there's so many ambiguous things about it," Takei said.

I bet both shows would have much better ratings if they weren't going head to head.

[silence]

dunno much how US networks work, but whatever happens i just hope that "heroes" are here to stay ...


and yes .. imagine ratings if it wasn't against "24" ..... through the roof prolly ...
