Francisco over at www.seriesblog.es alerted me to an actor named Jamie Hector, who is one of the stars of HBO’s critically acclaimed crime show The Wire. Hector has joined the cast of Heroes, appearing in the still-unseen Volume 3. According to Hector, who apparently isn’t allowed to talk too much about his role on the show, he plays a character named Benjamin Knox Washington. He doesn’t say how the character fits into the show, but he did tell LAist that he had already “shot a couple episodes” of the show — episodes that have yet to be seen because of the strike.
More from Hector over at NYMag:
My character’s name on Heroes is Benjamin Knox Washington. I can’t really disclose much about him, but I can tell you it’s a lot of fun. So many special effects — and it all winds up looking so real. The set is different — it’s warmer outside, obviously — and in Baltimore, since most of us are not from Baltimore, we all hang out and go to dinner after shooting. We’re like a family.
That’s all we know about Hector’s Knox character on Heroes for now. We’ll either see him in Volume 3 when Season 2 continues if the strike ends soon, or we’ll have to wait until Season 3 to finally see his character. Then again, if this strike never ends, maybe we’ll never see him.
