Zachary Levi Talks Heroes Reborn
The new Heroes series, Heroes Reborn, has started on US television with a double episode after five years of being away. Zachary Levi, formerly of Chuck, has joined the show and he chatted to imdb.com about this character, a hunter of those with super-powers.
IMDb: Is Luke a bad man or just misunderstood?
ZL: Misunderstood, tortured, all those things. When I sat down with [series creator] Tim Kring early on and had conversations before joining the project, I had personal prerequisites. I didn’t want to be Chuck again. You’ve got to challenge yourself as a performer. You have to challenge your audience’s perceptions of you. Otherwise, you’ll be the same guy over and over. ”
IMDb: Do you want viewers to sympathize with Luke, or just love to hate him?
ZL: I hope there’s never any character that I play where no matter how good or not good, pure or sinister, you don’t at least think he’s genuine. Luke is super dynamic, very complex, very tortured, very layered, and other things that I can’t tell you now. And I thought, yeah. That’s a challenge I want to bite into. ”
