'Heroes' villain gets a big brother
We'll learn a little about what makes Robert Knepper's character Samuel Sullivan tick this season on "Heroes." Maybe he experienced one too many noogies at home.Andrew Connolly has been cast to play Samuel Sullivan's older brother, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Samuel is the charismatic leader of a group of carnival people who exhibit special powers and wants them to come out of hiding from their sideshow cover. His special power is the ability to move the earth (dirt that is, not Earth) around him.
Connolly will appear in a multi-episode arc. There's no word if he too will exhibit special powers, but it does seem to run in the family on this show.
Connolly last had a small guest role playing a different type of brother, Brother Campbell, on an episode of "Lost."

there are WAY too many people on heroes. pass.
I finally gave up on this pitiful show. They never actually fix anything, they just throuw more characters and powerrs into the mix to see what sticks.
Heros can never decide on a direction. "I'm a hero- I'm a villain - I'm a hero...." as well as "I have powers - I lost my powers - I have powers" back and forth. Stupid.
much rather watch the always legen-wait for it-dary How i Met your Mother but no my family keeps coming back to heroes no matter how bad it gets.
i really need DVR
or at least a new family would do
they are trying to give a clear face for villians this year, making it more traditional like comics
