Should I have left out the fate of Tobolowsky’s bad-guy Bob Bishop from the headline above? Maybe. But Heroes had its season premiere on MondayWednesday, and if you’re a fan, you’ve already seen it. Anyway, the SMU alum and Adam McGill’s potential BFF showed the kind of true grit you’d expect from a hard-working character actor with an IMDb page a mile long just by showing up to film his two short scenes. From Entertainment Weekly‘s Michael Ausiello:
The reason Kristen Bell’s TV papa spent the entire episode (okay, two scenes) sitting in a chair was that his portrayer, Stephen Tobolowsky, broke his neck horse riding in Iceland. “He had to shoot all his scenes in the chair looking face forward,” whispers my Heroes tipster. “He took his neck brace off only when the cameras were rolling.”
