WHAT? ANDERS AS KENSEI! THIS MUST BE A JOKE! KENSEI IS JAPANISE!!!
Yeah, I’m seconding the WTF on Anders as Kensei.
Dye Ander’s hair black, slick it backwards, and give him the worst Japanese accent in television history and ya got Kensei. LOL
Takezo Kensei could be a shapeshifter, or become a shapeshifter during his 1,000+ years long life (hey! we’re talking Heroes here!)
He could be also the famous ‘boogeyman’ mentioned by Molly Walker.
Remember in the last episode? Kensei was there, and here sure didn’t look like some blond american guy from orgeon. In fact, he looked like Hiro’s father. My money is on George Takei coming back for the role of Kensei. How cool would that be?
“I’ve waited a long time for a Nakamura to ascend, I never thought it would be you.”
Yeah I agree with previous post, I’m pretty sure
Hiro’s father is that Kensei dude, but I’m not convinced that he might be the ‘boogeyman’ since he’s not evil?
I’d say Peter and Nathan’s mother got smth to do with it, if I’m not wrong she havent releaved any powers yet?
Bah, it’s too hard to try figure this out!
doesn’t sounds right…anders as takezo kensei???…huh???
yea that anders as kensei is a potential big mistake i think
Something tells me that David Anders is gonna play the role of the person who can see molly when she tries to find him.
Does any one think that the Japanese princess is Au Co from the graphic novels?
Dianna Agron is also going to be in the new movie Skid Marks – she plays an independent, but hot, medic.
