David Anders Becomes a Heroes Season 2 Regular

By Sam on August 6th, 2007

David Anders’ Kensei, a 1,000 year old immortal Hero, was supposed to only have a recurring part on the second season of Heroes, but he was so impressive during production that the producers have decided to contract the actor for a regular spot on the show, reports TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello. NBC and Anders’ people just closed out the deal recently, making Anders a full-time Hero for the upcoming Season 2.

Like everyone else, I’m still curious how the writers will fit in a very obviously Caucasian actor as the 1,000 year old Kensei, a mysterious warrior in Feudal Japan who became a historical legend, and one of Hiro Nakamura’s childhood heroes. I guess we’ll find out very soon.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they argued Jesus and other religious figures were old school heros in the same vein.

Why? Why would they cast a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white guy as a Japanese legendary hero? Don’t we have enough white guys on TV? This sounds really dumb to me.

I just saw the episode 3, and I’m assuming the fact that Kensei’s character is a bumbling drunk can placate those who are offended. Initially I was furious by the this story. But when Hiro remains in past, it became clear to me, the writers are planning something more. Hiro is Kensei, something I had already suspected in Season 1.

With this in mind, I continue to watch the show. Though James Kyson Lee’s japanese accent still grates my ears. Sigh.. but that’s hollywood. While George Takei’s accent is slightly better, at least he’s japanese.

I hope I’m right about Hiro being Kensei, I’ve already swallowed Ando being played by a non japanese actor, if I have to accept David Anders getting the girl and the glory of Kensei’s legend. I’ll make sure to boycott anything related to this show.
