New villain, Zachary Levi recently spoke to Parade about working with HRG himself, Mr Noah Bennet played by Jack Coleman:

“Specifically to me, day one he said, ‘Suck less.’ [laughs] I received that. No, Jack is a consummate professional, such a sweetheart, incredibly humble. I’ve known him since he was doing the original series. It’s really awesome that a guy that actually when Heroes started, was a guest star, I think, now he’s No. 1 on the call sheet, and he’s leading the charge.

“We couldn’t be in better hands. He’s just such a good dude. I really do think, of all the characters they could have chosen to be the glue between the two worlds, he was perfect. But no, I don’t know that there was really any advice other than buckle up, we’re going for a ride.”
