Robert Knepper Joining Heroes As Lead Villian For Fourth Season
June 3rd, 2009 | 1 Comment | Email | Share | TweetRobert Knepper has been cast as the new lead villain on NBC’s Heroes next season. In at least six episodes of the series’ fourth season, Knepper will play Samuel, a charismatic but evil person, with a twisted sense of humor who will veer into the lives of all heroes. The character had been referred to as “Carnival Barker” in the series breakdown released last month. Heroes is set to return in the fall for an all-original run in a new time slot at 8 pm/ET on Mondays. Production on Heroes is scheduled to begin later this week. Knepper is best known for playing Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell on Fox’s Prison Break, that viewers loved to hate.
this is great news for me cuz Prison Break was my favorite show and Roberts character T-Bag was one of my most favorite characters and to hear that he will be just the same on Heroes(the show that has taken over 1st place in my favorite show list lol) is great. Good choice.
