Carnivals, Heroes, and ASL: three of my favorite things. I’m very excited.
Looks interesting. I never did catch Carnivale.
Is it a good idea to show up at these casting calls for a role that states a specific age that you aren’t in hopes of them changing their initial requirements for the actor?
Jack Dagger would be a good choice
Go on get Eddie Izzard. Love to see him in the show. Probably too busy with The day of the Triffids.
The Carnies thing was always being done in the X-men so why not carry it over to Heroes.
Can’t wait till September.
i hope Claire will have something good or evil to do with the carnival. What is the carnival anyways?
