Forrest (Leonard Roberts) becomes a "Hero". Buffy guest star gets a pilot.

HEROES (NBC) - Adrian Pasdar (David Bradley on "Desperate Housewives"), Leonard Roberts (Forrest Gates on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Noah Gray-Cabey (Franklin Aloysius Mumford on "My Wife and Kids") have all joined the cast of the two-hour drama pilot, about a group of seemingly everyday people who discover that they have superpowers. They'll join the previously cast Greg Grunberg, Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress, Ali Larter, Masi Oka, Hayden Panetierre, Sendhil Ramamurthy and Milo Ventimiglia in the NBC Universal Television-based project, which comes from creator Tim Kring and director David Semel.

Great article. Not only do I like the premise of this show, but there's also a new single camera Andy Richter show too. Good news indeed.

Adrian Pasdar was also in David Greenwalt's series Profit.

Yeah, I also think the premise sounds good and Greg Grunberg is a very likeable actor. Hopefully it'll be more 'Unbreakable' and a bit less 'Smallville'.

This show is getting some amazing online buzz about it. Might be worth watching. Though the premise does some what remind me of The 4400.

I'm just starting to watch that series now, and am loving it – and his acting (and voice!) is fabulous. I was just wondering what else he's been in since - now one more reason to check this out when it premiers (if it makes it through pilot season, of course...).
Sounds like an intriguing premise.

AdrIan Pasdar! I fell in love with him on Profit. I've been hearing great things about this show so I'll definitely be tuning into the premiere. Strange that it will be on NBC. It doesn't seem like an NBC show.

When will it air?

It is a pilot ESG. It may never air.

it is excellent to see greg grunberg has a new show. he was one of my favorite parts of 'alias'...

Well NBC's doing pretty terrible right now with the shows it has so I think they're trying more of an ABC approach.

Desperate Housewives as a lawyer. He also had a long run on Judging Amy as...er...a lawyer if I'm not mistaken.
