Zachary Quinto, Heroes
Well, folks, Heroes has done it again. Nathan Petrelli may have expired with a glorious, gurgling coda, but his character lives on — thanks to Matt Parkman — reincarnated inside a mind-wiped version of arch-villain Sylar. While the closing moments of the Season 3 finale suggest that Sylar's presence still lives on in "Nathan," have we seen the last of the furry-browed Sylar we've always known?
"Zach's not done," Adrian Pasdar tells TVGuide.com. "There's Nathan, there's Sylar, and there's the point of view that you have to factor in. If I look up into the mirror, who would I see?"
Naturally, the twist sets up an epic internal battle between Nathan and Sylar in Season 4...

Greg Grunberg, Heroes
As Heroes enters its final three episodes of the season (Mondays at 9 pm/ET, NBC), the lines are (literally) being drawn for a multi-hero crossing of paths at the mysterious Coyote Sands. But will this creepy burial ground become the new Kirby Plaza?
"Everybody does come together at Coyote Sands," Greg Grunberg tells TVGuide.com. But after last week's reunion with the son he never knew he had, Grunberg's Matt Parkman will have a whole new set of priorities in the remaining episodes and beyond.
"The baby and his family is the reason Parkman is going to do something in the last episode that he may regret for the rest of his life," Grunberg says. "It's a huge story that we play out — something that only a guy who's been pushed and is desperate to save his family would ever do."
So how does the recently resurfaced Janice ...

Greg Grunberg
As Heroes' Matt Parkman, Greg Grunberg can control people's minds and create fantastical realities in their heads. Grunberg's son has shown in his battle to overcome epilepsy is no fantasy at all.
Grunberg's 12-year-old son, Jake, has lived with the struggles and seizures epilepsy causes, but thanks to a recent brain surgery, he is showing massive signs of improvement.
"He's doing really well," Grunberg tells TVGuide.com. "You don't try brain surgery until you've basically run out of medicine. There are so many things you try before you get to removing a piece of his brain. But they saved his life."
Grunberg says surgery became an alternative when doctors were able to pinpoint the area of the brain with the most epilepsy activity. Now, he says his son is "90 percent better" and that he is hopeful for his future. "He's living a normal life — he's not seizure-free, but he's back doing what a normal kid would do," he says. "I'd love to see Jake not have epilepsy for the majority of his life, and I think that's going to happen with what they're doing."

NBC's Heroes returns Monday at 9 pm/ET, but can the troubled series get back on track? To hear Hayden Panettiere and Greg Grunberg (aka Claire and Matt) tell it, the new "Fugitives" arc has the makings of a comeback, as it "gets the band back together" toward a common, self-preserving goal.
"The government gets involved with taking people like us down and capturing us," Panettiere says in the video shown below. Ultimately, after what Grunberg describes as "a huge cliffhanger," the hunted heroes are afforded a chance to elude capture.

A veritable who's who of television — including Josh Cooke, Kathrine Narducci, Kym Whitley, Kurt Fuller and Emmanuelle Vaugier — on Saturday night attended the wrap party for the upcoming indie film Group Sex, in the hills of Beverly Hills. Executive producer John Viola's new home was transformed into a casino with blackjack, poker, roulette and craps games at play. Although cast member Tom Arnold did not make an appearance, the police did after neighbors complained about the noise. Coming to the rescue was Heroes star (and co-writer of Group Sex) Greg Grunberg, who apologized to the lawmen for the volume from a performance by he and several members of Band From TV, including lead guitarist James Denton (Desperate Housewives), who also has a role in the film.As for riveting the world with his comedy about sexaholics, Grunberg’s ideas about that might catch the attention of the authorities as well.

Heroes may have halted production, but reading minds isn't Greg Grunberg's only superpower; he also has a knack for employing out-of-work television actors. Grunberg recently teamed up with Felicity/Alias director Lawrence Trilling to coproduce, write and star in Group Sex, a film that began shooting Jan. 28 in Los Angeles. "This was a no-brainer," Grunberg jokes of his latest gig, which costars James Denton (Desperate Housewives), Tom Arnold, Katherine Narducci and Henry Winkler. "I had all of this free time and decided to get naked and laugh my ass off!" Group Sex is a romantic comedy about a single guy (Josh Cooke) who poses as a reformed Don Juan after seeing his dream girl (Odette Yustman) perform at a nightclub. Chaos ensues when he poses as a fellow recovering sex addict in an attempt to meet the unsuspecting singer. "I play Jerry, the best friend of the guy who follows the girl into the sexaholic meeting," says Grunberg. "Jerry is very critical of the girl his friend is fo...
