Just watched 3.03 commentary and Milo mentioned that the actor who plays the new African painter was in the original Season 1 unaired pilot! After a double-take, I realized that I knew it was true.

Yeah, I found out back when they announced a new painter played by N'Tare Mwine. The s1 character was called Joseph, if anyone wants to check up on him

I found another tidbit from the commentaries: It's all in the family!

-Sendhil's wife was the woman that met the Haitian for the Formula exchange
-Flint's burn victim at the gas station was the wife of the stunt coordinator of the scene
-actress and actor that played Sandra and Ted respectivefully are married

can't think of anymore right now, please feel free to add to this list (if possible).

I had thought he looked familiar. I am so glad they brought him back for this season.

Yes all true Chidy. Neat huh

Knew the first and third, but not the second, which is an interesting tidbit.

I don't know of any other cast/crew "connections", sadly.

yeah, I already knew the Sandra/Ted one for a while. But, I wonder how the talk went for the Flint scene I mentioned?
Stunt Coordinator: Honey, I managed to get you a role on Heroes!
Wife: Really? What's the role?
S.C.: A random person getting burned alive for no reason. It's just for one of the new villians to show off for a few seconds.



btw, that last statement sounds somewhat similar to the logic of some of Sylar's S1 victims, haha

Nathan's sons, Monty and Simon, are named after Jesse Alexander's two sons.

Stunt Coordinator: Honey, I managed to get you a role on Heroes!
Wife: Really? What's the role?

4 hours later

Wife: So I just stay still on the floor?
S.C.: Yeah, but remember to stay still.

I thought he looked familiar! Nice catch!
