Jack Coleman: Yeah, its kind of awesome actually.

I told people the first go round that the glasses do most of the acting.

So just putting them back on was a wonderful, familiar feeling.

Very quickly it came back to the character, the heart and the show.

Is Noah grieving when we meet him again?

Noah is trying to get to the bottom of what has become of Claire because he doesnt know.

He doesnt know where Claire is.

Hes not sure what has happened to them.

So he still thinks theres a chance shes out there?

He knows that he doesnt know what has become of her, where she is.

So hes trying to get to the bottom of it.

Does it feel like season five to you?

Theres only one first kiss.

That first season was the first kiss.

Were you surprised in the first run when HRG became the rock of the series?

Yes, pleasantly surprised.

I had no idea that I would become so intrinsically linked to everybodys story.

I didnt know that I would be the center.

Tim told me early on the spine, the story.

It was just sort of a natural extension.

Youre a TV veteran.

Did you ever imagine a time where shows that went off the air would be brought back?

Not in my wildest dreams.

There is a hunger familiar products and name brands that people know.

SoFull House,X-Files, theres a built in audience, clearly.

I think its just a natural progression.

Do you think any of the other shows you were on might be ripe for a comeback?

Do you have one in mind?

I thinkDynastywould be prime for a comeback.

I could see Joan.

Me as Steven Carrington all those years later… Id like to come back and play Blake.

That would be fun.

Shes ready to go.

Is HRG still able to be as manipulative as he was in the beginning when he was in control?

The short answer is no because he doesnt have the apparatus, the company, behind him.

The longer answer is yeah, because he still has those skills.

He still is a pretty ruthless operator when he needs to be and a shrewd operator as well.

He can be very manipulative and he can be very convincing.

He just doesnt have the whole apparatus of the company behind him.

IsHeroesany different in a post-Marvel world, where they have a whole cinematic universe?

I think everything is different in a world in which we see so many superheroes.

The thing aboutHeroesthats always different is it was never about the cape or the costume.

It was about the story and the characters and relationships.

But in terms of how it serves the characters, I dont thinkHeroeshas changed that much.
