Heroes: “I’m hoping we get back to the feeling of the first season”
Speaking of Heroes, EW.com chats with actor Milo Ventimiglia (Peter) about, among other things, the lack of enthusiasm for the show’s second season.
“As a person that’s on the show as well as a fan of the show, I always want to get back to the great character moments that drive the series,” he says. “I’m hoping we get back to the feeling of the first season: that kind of base human emotion, that level where these people that have these abilities are understanding them still.”
