Meet Papa Petrelli
Looks like the identity of Heroes‘ Peter and Nathan Petrelli’s father has been revealed. If you don’t keep up on TV hiring gossip, I guess it could be considered a spoiler, so I’ve put it after the jump, although it should be noted that there’s no clue if Papa Petrelli is back from the dad, will appear in a flashback, or what. So hit the jump.
Turns out it’s incredibly talented character actor Robert Forster! Anything that gets him more work is okay by me, and he seems like a hell of a good catch. Might Heroes season 3 not suck out loud? It’s theoretically possible! (Via EW)
