Obviously I mean the actor, David Anders. But wouldn't it be beyond cool to see the character of Sark show up on Heroes? Maybe he got some sort of power from being so close to all that Rambaldi business. Maybe he can have the power to impersonate anyone's voice exactly (Anders is actually from Oregon but does a British accent perfectly).
Kristin over on E! is reporting that Anders is under negotiations to join the NBC hit this fall. He would play a new character named Kane (Isabelle has details on the character here), though there are no other details about the character. Of course, it's not a done deal, but it would be fantastic if this actually happened.

I recently posted news that producers of NBC's The Office were seriously thinking about extending the show to an hour every week next season. Some of you loved that idea and some of you hated it. Well, looks like we have a compromise.
According to Kristin over at E! Online, the show will have four, one-hour specials next season, as well as 24 episodes total. That's really good news, in this new age where many "full seasons" of shows often don't even hit 22 episodes. I was watching some old comedies on DVD the other day and noted that they often had 25 or 30 episodes a season back then.
Speaking of one hour, The Office one-hour season finale airs next Thursday at 8.

Every year in April (aka the time networks executives meet to prepare the schedule for the following season),
Kristin from E! tries to
save one show. A few weeks before her column hits the Internet, she asks fans to vote for the show they want to save. With these results in hand, she writes a column devoted to the shows that got the most votes in the hope it'll help the networks make the right decision and save those shows. She will also write a support letter for the show that got the most votes.
