James Kyson Lee: From Sidekick to Superhero!
Matt Richenthal at .With Ando having acquired an ability at the conclusion of volume three, and with the character playing a prominent role in volume for of Heroes, BuddyTV asked James Kyson Lee for his take on Ando's shift from sidekick to a superhero?
Yeah, it's been an interesting arc, and I think it kind of started during “Villains” when he and Hiro sort of have an equal stake in what's going on, and I think slowly he sort of grows from sidekick to possible becoming partners. And then getting a power, which kind of shifted his skill. In that sense, since my buddy doesn't have his power, I sort of have to fill in.
I've got to try to take charge of whatever mission there is. So I think it's going to be an interesting season, and I think Ando's power is going to be explored a little more. Right now you've learned that he's Super Charger, but if you remember way back in the beginning of “Villains,” there's a future.
When my buddy went to the future, he saw my power used in a very different way. And we don't know if that's actually going to play out, but I think there's more to Ando's power than just the super charger.
