Memories from the Set: David Anders on "Heroes"
"After Alias, I couldn't get arrested as an American," Anders says. "Everybody thought I was English, so I was like, 'OK, let's just keep doing it. I'll do the English thing — and speak Japanese, to boot.'"
Such was his time on the NBC sci-fi drama, which cast him as an almost immortal man who'd spent time in feudal Japan centuries before his run-in with the Petrellis & Co. The 2008 Writers Guild of America strike messed with his arc a bit, something Anders calls "kind of a bummer," but he was pleased with his character's exit:
After being buried alive, "They dug him up to suck the life out of him."
