New Ray Park Interview About Season 4 and Webisode
New Ray Park Interview About Season 4 and Webisode
You knew him as Darth Maul in Star Wars and Snake Eyes in G.I Joe. Well, tonight you will see Ray Park on HEROES play yet another villain, a speedster who comes with martial arts and knives, and a surprising back story (which you’ll read on down the page).
And to my delight, Ray is a fan of the series.
“I first saw HEROES a couple of years ago and I fell in love with the show and got really excited,” Ray Park starts the interview in his British accent. “I remember a couple of years ago I said to myself if I was going to do a show this would be the show that I would want to work on and now here I am working on the show. I’m a big fan of the show so I’m having a lot of fun being on it. It’s great!”
But really, all we know about Ray’s character is that he is a knife-wielding speedster. What more can he tell us about Edgar?
“He’s part of the carnival where everyone has special abilities and special powers. I have supersonic speed, a little like Daphne in Season Two, but I have acrobatics and martial arts and knife throwing thrown in.” Ray also hinted about a back-story where Edgar killed his old girlfriend, and you’ve got one scary dude.
Ray revealed that he was handpicked for his role on Heroes. The casting director Natalie Hart needed someone like Ray to play a part. And Ray’s response to them? “I’m glad you guys asked me to come in and I’m a really big fan of the show and I would be do this at the drop of a hat.” And now we have Edgar, one mean villain on the Carnival. I can tell that Ray is a real fan of the show, and he is very excited to be working with the team. He also let on that his role got a little bigger from what they expected when they first asked him in, and yet, he doesn’t exactly know where his character is headed (like everyone else says of their characters!).
“I’m really excited but at the same time it’s a little frustrating because I want to know. I started at the beginning and I don’t know what the end is going to be. I always feel what my ending is — I’m going to be killed off. I’m preparing for it and my fans say why do always say you’re going to get killed off. And I said because it always happens to me (laughter).”
Maybe you can write the script of how you die, I mused. “If I’m going to die, it’s going to be great death”
But I have a feeling he isn’t going to die in tonight’s premiere, because Ray tells me they’re working on a back story with Sprint.
“At the moment myself, Robert and Dawn are working with Sprint and doing something for commercial breaks and webisodes.”
Now, isn’t that cool! There wasn’t much lead over the summer about who the Carnival people are.
“It’s just more of a back story on building the character and the trailers. And it sort of ties into what we have done before. There’s a lot of questions for my character. Are we headed in the right direction? We’ve been hiding, we’ve been doing this for so long. Do we want to have others involved or do we want to expose ourselves to others around? Are we on the right path? Because I’m not too sure about where we’re going.”
Aha, so that’s definitely something fans can wait for online!
“Yes, it does. I think the carnival’s gotten a lot bigger. They all expected it to be big basically, “Ray Park aka Edgar adds. “Everyone is really pumped up about what we’re doing, I mean [Robert Knepper] is a leader, he’s a leading man, he’s a phenomenal actor, and to be in his presence and have scenes with him is unbelievable.”

BBC Response About Airing Season 4 of Heroes
Hey All,
Apparently Heroes will still be on BBC but just shown later. There is no official word, but thanks to reader Gkbell, who sent an email to the BBC asking about why they were dropping Heroes and got this reply:
“We are going to be showing Season 4 of Heroes either later this year or early next year, but we have not confirmed the exact date yet.”
So if this is true at least it will air, but unfortunately no idea when. As soon as we hear more we will let you all know.
Also, maybe if more of you emailed BBC they would know how much you want to watch it.

New Webisodes to Focus on New Character Lydia
Hey All,
Last week NBC had announced a new 10-part webisode that will crossover from the actual show to the online webisode that focuses on the Carnival.
Now we have some more details that seem to be confirmed via the actress herself Dawn Oliveri that plays Lydia on her new Twitter account.
She confirmed that she filmed 3 out of the 10 and that the title of the webisode series is “Time is Now: Lydia’s Tale”.
I have no idea if the parts she filmed or the whole series is titled that but at least we have some more details.
Make sure you follow Dawn on her Twitter account here: @MizzLydia
