Who's Leaving Heroes?

For those of you who are still watching Heroes, prepare to say farewell to one of the original cast members. (Stop reading now if you want to remain unspoiled!)



TVGuide.com is reporting that that fate falls to Adrian Pasdar, who plays Sen. Nathan Petrell, a key character since season one. The senator, as we knew him, is actually already dead, having been killed off by the ever-so-evil Sylar at the end of Season 3. The Nathan we've been seeing since, while still played by Pasdar, has actually been Sylar, who can shape-shift, among his many other mutant talents. Of course, "dead" is a relative term on a show where several characters have already come back from the great beyond, but it seems that this exit will be a permanent one. NBC has not confirmed that Pasdar is leaving. The network is also staying mum on rumors that this season, its fourth, will also be its last.
