Dominic AND Takei!:w00t:Unfortunately, I don't watch much TV, so I probably won't see in...:ermm:Oh well.Sat, 15 Dec 2007 17:35:33 GMTSongmorninghttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxI know this is a little bit late out of the gate, so to speak, but there's a little video interview with Dominic on the NBC website. Can be found here...</P><P><A href="http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/video_display.shtml#mea=168826">http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/video_display.shtml#mea=168826</A></P><P>It's a little bit temperamental, so you might have to stick with it. He's in the second half of the interview and explains about his character, which of course if you've seen the show you'll already know, but hey... *shrug* It's still cute.Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:46:06 GMTHomegirlhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxHis accent wasn't bad. It's obvious that he's paid attention, and he had a lot of the form of it right. It wasn't stereotype or caricature, for which I was grateful. However, it wasn't perfect - it did sound like a foreign actor doing an Irish accent, and it certainly didn't sound like Cork, but so be it. He did rather well, I thought, for someone who isn't from Ireland. <br><br>Irish accents are tough for non-natives to get right. They're like Boston accents, in that way. First, they aren't heard in the media as often as, say, standard British or New York, so there's less familiarity. Second, they're simply hard to nail. I've seen actors who are fairly gifted mimics, who nail, say, New York, and who study and study the Boston accent, with good coaches, for a role, and still cannot quite get it, not at the core. They get the surface, but not the core. Irish accents seem to be the same way, for most actors. <br><br>But at least it wasn't down to stereotype and crap like that. I mean, we've heard some HORRIBLE Irish accents on film, have we not? Think Tom Cruise in "Far and Away", and you'll get my meaning. And that tends to be more the norm than what Dominic did, which again, wasn't half bad. <br><br>And I freely admit, the Cork accent is a tough one.Wed, 03 Oct 2007 07:15:12 GMTRoaringMicehttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxHave to add... I work in a place where there are a lot of people who speak with variously different Irish accents, and - he seemed to do just fine to me. :)Sat, 29 Sep 2007 20:30:37 GMTHomegirlhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxWhen he said he might be in the last few minutes I thought woohoo, I'd better watch the first one. (I didn't watch Heros before) It's a good thing I didn't turn it off when I didn't see his name! I thought they'd edited him out when he didn't come up in the credits.</P><P>I've only just gotten used to the Leicester-speak, I couldn't tell you if the sound of everything was right.. I leave that up to folks that would know. ;)Sat, 29 Sep 2007 20:18:50 GMTMirranihttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxI was online with my friend in the US last night as she watched the season opener of Heroes. He was in the last few minutes and according to her he looked good, all slick and in the rain and everything... :) I of course will have to wait until I visit again to be able to see it.Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:25:13 GMTHomegirlhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxhope that they dont give him the american version of an irish accent (no offence to anyone), but thatd just make me laugh like an idiot through every time he talked in the show:crazy:Tue, 21 Aug 2007 10:39:26 GMTPhoenixhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxYes, I read it'll air in September (27th I think) in the US with the UK showing it next summer........but I read another article just the other day where it said Heroes will be screened in the UK soon after the US showing.......I guess we'll just have to wait and see!Tue, 21 Aug 2007 01:24:43 GMTDomCathttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspx[quote][b]voyager (8/17/2007)[/b][hr]Has this aired yet?[/quote]<br><br>No, it won't start until the Autumn, and it should air in the US first.Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:36:53 GMTRoaringMicehttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxHas this aired yet?Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:55:01 GMTvoyagerhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxIt's a 5 episode arc he's filming.......I found out today!Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:01:34 GMTDomCathttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxcould be more than a 'few' episodes going by how Heroes operates. Most recurring characters last year got a good 5 at least and always have an influence. he's definitely in more than one though, obviously, but if he does have powers then he could also be quite important overall.<br><br>Let's just hope he doesn't get killed off!Tue, 17 Jul 2007 20:46:06 GMTlinseyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxYeah I knew they'd started filming already because Greg Grunberg said so in an interview on the NBC website.</P><P>I know Dominic will only crop up in a few episodes but it's still exciting!Tue, 10 Jul 2007 01:10:06 GMTDomCathttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxSeries 2 of Heroes has already begun filming, but that doesn't mean that DK is on set yet.Mon, 09 Jul 2007 13:29:27 GMTRoaringMicehttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxI'm still excited he's in one of the biggest shows around and when I saw the Heroes trailer on tv last night, followed by the magic words.......coming soon to BBC2......I got more excited!

Also, filming does try to be a regular work week with weekends off. It's possible he can still work around filming considerations if it is around that time. But it's also possible he won't be necessary at that time anyway. Even series regulars aren't in every day of the week!Sun, 08 Jul 2007 19:46:48 GMTlinseyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxI wonder when he starts filming and if he's still going to the Creation Con in Cherry Hill, NJ on 20th July and the Las Vegas con on Aug 9th - 12th?</P><P>Can't wait to see him in Heroes next year!

INSANE though that the beeb have paid so much and nothing has aired on it yet!

I hope. I have so many late nights at work here, I'll probably be spending the next year batting my eyelids sweetly at downloaders :)<br><br>I am mightily pleased for dominic though. My favourite tv show and he landed a part. yayes! It's another break, considering the popularity of the show (3 storey posters in new york and in universal studios), it is very mainstream. AND it puts him back on top for convention appearances once his episodes air as it'll make him, once more, a current star as opposed to a past star :)Fri, 06 Jul 2007 18:58:39 GMTlinseyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxFor anyone in the UK who doesn't have Sky (like me!) the 1st season of Heroes is supposed to be shown on BBC2 this summer followed by season 2 on BBC3 and BBC2 next year.</P><P>Sky apparently lost the rights to show the 2nd season.Thu, 05 Jul 2007 12:30:38 GMTDomCathttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic13410-14-1.aspxOh this is great - I love Heroes.
