Heroes Character D.L. Hawkins

Feed Shark

As the series Heroes begins, D.L. Hawkins is nowhere to be seen.

That's because he's stuck in jail! He's been incarcerated for theft and MURDER!

Not very responsible behavior for a father AND husband

D.L. is spoken of right from the start of the series, but viewers won't see him until Episode 5.

When he does appear, he kidnaps his son, Micah Sanders !

Boy, D.L. sure gets in a lot of trouble.

D.L. Hawkins is caught up with the same mobster - loanshark people as wife, Niki Sanders is involved with, so we can assume that he's running away from those rough characters - as well as from the Police.

Keep running, D.L. - you'll have not only the mobsters and cops after you, but Heroes, soon, as well...not to mention Niki's alter-ego, who is simply DEADLY...

No doubt, you've seen this actor many a time before you ever tuned into Tim Kring's Heroes on NBC TV!

Here's a bit of information about Leonard Roberts:

* Leonard is American
* Born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA
* Born November 17, 1972
* Attended DePaul University Theater School
* Graduated from DePaul with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting

Leonard's face should seem familiar to TV viewers who like the Buffy The Vampire Slayer series, the show 'Bones,' Providence, Smallville, JAG, and more, because Leonard has quite a list of TV episode appearances with a number of television shows.

Probably, his best known character, other than D.L. Hawkins on Heroes - is Leonard as Forrest Gates on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, where he did repeat (more than 10) appearances, mostly in the year 2000.

Leonard is visible in more than a dozen of the Season One Heroes episodes, so he's a valuable character - attached in the lives of son, Micah, and wife, Niki.

Keep your eye out for D.L. Hawkins on season two...

He has some very redeeming qualities...

You'll see!
