Full Version: a simple casting change?
Probably just a casting change, yeah. It happens.
Since it is most likely a casting change...
I would almost suspect to see him in future episodes. Perhaps a flashback or is he really not dead?
I recognize that guy from somewhere (another TV show or movie).

Ok so here's a shot from epi 3 as it aired... Peter showing Nathan the book
Now here's a recap of the same scene from the 2 minute review/preview on nbc.com

A simple casting change.
Well, the guy in the top pic looks a lot like Erick Avari- AKA Kasuf on Stargate and Elektra's Papa in Daredevil. ...And according to IMDB that's exactly who it is. 
Yay! I like him. Heckuva nice guy. He gave me food, once. I always like people who give me food.

Erick Avari (the newer Prof. Suresh) has been in tons of TV and some notable movies. He's a recurring character on SG-1 and was in The Mummy. Just search for him on IMDB. Also, I just realized that he is listed for an upcoming episode of Heroes entitled "Don't Look Back." I don't know which one that is, but I'm sure someone could enlighten me.
I'm pretty sure the Professor is dead since the first on-line comic showed as much. They could be fooling us with that, or maybe we'll just see him in flashbacks. It's certainly significant that they cast someone with his credentials so he'll have to show up one way or the other.
(Edit: Oops, it looks like I duplicated some of ShadowMaat's stuff..)

Good catch guys, I thought the same this this morning. See the below thread for some speculations. I agree, why cast someone with such experience if you only use them in one episode and then just his picture. I'm hoping that maybe the two-minute recap was made before they had casted Erick for the part. Or do you think he is really gone?

The upcoming episode titled 'Don't Look Back' aired, in fact, last week. Stupid space-time continuum...
Um..right! Let's move on and not speak of this again then, shall we?
So, that's one crazy casting change, huh?
Prof Suresh looks a bit like the guy who tried to kidnap the little girl. From the poor lighting, I think the guy had a moustache and beard too...
