Where to Find Your ‘Heroes’ on TV and Film Now (PHOTOS)
Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennet)
Panettiere starred in all six seasons of Nashville, earning two Golden Globe nominations for her performance as country superstar Juliette Barnes. She also starred in the TV movie Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy and the big-screen slasher flick Scream 4.
Jack Coleman (Noah Bennet)
After Heroes, Coleman recurred as Senator William Bracken on Castle and as Senator — sorry, State Senator — Robert Lipton on The Office. And he also played the closeted husband of Vice President Sally Langston (Kate Burton) on Scandal.
Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli)
You might be familiar: Ventimiglia has only earned three Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy nominations for his work on This Is Us. On the big screen, he has appeared in Rocky Balboa and Creed II.
Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura)
Oka starred in six seasons of Hawaii Five-0 as Dr. Max Bergman, a medical examiner on the CBS procedural. He also appeared in the films Death Note and The Meg and will voice a character in this year’s animated film Spies in Disguise.
Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh)
In addition to his upcoming role on The Flash, Ramamurthy has taken roles on the TV shows Covert Affairs, CSI: Miami, The Office, Elementary, MacGyver, and New Amsterdam. He also starred on the sci-fi drama Reverie.
Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman)
Grunberg has kept close with his childhood friend J.J. Abrams, who gave him a starring role on Alias pre-Heroes. The actor has appeared in Star Trek Beyond and Star Wars: The Force Awakens and will appear in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker this year. Plus, his Alias costar Bradley Cooper gave him a role in A Star Is Born.
James Kyson (Ando Masahashi)
In the years since Heroes originally went off the air, Kyson has guest-starred on Hawaii Five-0, Justified, Sleepy Hollow, and Elementary and voiced characters on Adventure Time, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and We Bare Bears.
Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli)
Pasdar is still in the superhero game: He has voiced Hawkeye, Captain America, and Iron Man on various animated Marvel shows and recurred as Glenn Talbot on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But he’s a DC Comics guy, too, playing Morgan Edge in Season 3 of Supergirl.
Zachary Quinto (Sylar)
Post-Heroes, Quinto has appeared in American Horror Story (nabbing an Emmy nomination for his work), The Slap, Girls, Hannibal, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but his most recognizable role to date might be that of Spock in the latest Star Trek films. He currently stars on AMC’s NOS4A2.
Ali Larter (Niki Sanders)
Larter starred in the TV shows Legends and Pitch and guest-starred on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Splitting Up Together. Plus, she reprised her Resident Evil: Extinction role of Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
Years before Marvel and DC introduced their cinematic universes, we were all fixated on another group of superpowered screen idols: the cast of characters in the NBC drama Heroes, which debuted to rave reviews and impressive ratings in 2007.
And though Heroes eventually lost favor with critics and interest with viewers, it effectively launched the careers of many of its stars. Case in point? Sendhil Ramamurthy has just been cast as Bloodwork, the big bad of The Flash Season 6.
While we wait for that scary turn of his, check out the post-Heroes careers of the rest of the heroes in the gallery above.
