What Makes These "Heroes" Tick?
"Heroes" is a new drama from NBC about a group of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka and Ali Larter play three of these "extraordinary" people.
Milo Ventimiglia stars as Peter Petrelli, a young man who tries to convince his politician brother that he can fly. "There's this fear and excitement," Ventimiglia explains, "that you have this gift, but you're terrified to use it because you've never used it before."
Niki Sanders, played by Ali Larter, is a single mother trying to making ends meet in Las Vegas. She begins to get the feeling she is being followed, but it's her mirror image that appears to have a secret. "One thing about her is that she has a dark and violent nature," Larter says. "That dark and violent nature has something to do with her reflection."
Meanwhile in Japan, Hiro Nakamura, played by Masi Oka, learns that he can bend time and space. Oka says there is something that separates his character from the rest: "When I find out I have these powers, I already believe it."
"Heroes" premieres Monday September 25 at 9PM ET.
