'Smallville' star joins 'Heroes' cast

[Madwelshboy]

Smallville actor John Glover has been added to the cast of Heroes.

Glover will play Sylar's father in the NBC drama, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"When Sylar meets his father, he's going to see a path ahead of him that he doesn't want to take," said a show source.

"He has a lot more in common with his father than he realised."

Glover will arrive on the show towards the end of the forthcoming 'Fugitives' volume. He also recently signed up to appear in ABC's Brothers & Sisters.

awesome, he is a damn good actor.

[The Prophet]

He's an awesome actor.

Having both Sylar and Lex Luthor as sons, now that's something to be worried about xD

Guess he's going to have a power. Intutive Apptitude like Sylar? With a range of powers from his years of hauling.

I can see him being a time-traveller actually, just to explain his abscence....

Yes he is. Damn fine choice on the part of the Heroes PTB.

I think I read somewhere, I think it was on here, actually, that people wouldn't be surprised if Leonard Nimoy (Spock), signed on to play Sylar's father.

Anyway, John Glover is a great actor and I can't wait to see him on the show. I wonder what power he'll have...

my comeback to that was "in that case william shatner should be meredith and flint's father"

i think he'll have something that makes watch making easy, since he was a watchmaker, perhaps something like the ability to see and do things on the microscopic level.

And my couner-comeback was casting James Doohan, if we're keeping score here

Maybe Genetic Modification type ability? Creating his son's power, or something similar. Power Enchancement or something.

Sylar's real Dad wasn't a watchmaker. The parents we've heard about weren't his real parents, as Angela explained. I think Sylar's real father, played by Glover, will have a power similar to his own.

Looking forward to seeing that

Question: Got any good intel on Heroes, specifically Sylar?

Ausiello: Zachary Quinto just shot the episode that introduces his real dad, played by John Glover, and he offers this critique: "He was the perfect choice," gushes TV son Zachary Quinto. "The only downside was that we shot our scenes outside in a tarpaulin shack and it was pouring rain for two days, so we were literally slogging through mud. The logistics weren't that great, but the experience was. It traded off in the end."

Maybe the same exact power as Sylar, but with out the hunger and using empathy to get powers? I'm expecting the same similarities like Matt and his Dad actually. John Glover... This should be good.

Yeah, the sons of the characters he plays don't seem to turn out so well.
