Not Just Claire's Father

Jack Coleman has stage experience, writing experience and wasn't always just 'Claire Bennet's Father.'

As well, he turned a role that was supposed to be 'minor' into a MAJOR character for Heroes fans!

Three reasons to love Jack Coleman 

1. Jack played "Jack" on Days of Our Lives (Jack Kositchek)

2. Jack put it all on the line to play one of televisiondom's first gay male roles in 1988, on the show Dynasty. Jack played Steve Carrington.

3. Jack is also a screenwriter!

Guest Spot For Jack 

The One Page Audition

Originally, the Mr. Bennet character was just a 'guest spot' for whichever actor managed through the one page audition.

Jack Coleman earned the 'guest spot' and 3 seasons later (as of Fall 2008), the character(s) he plays on Heroes has become a pivotal persona!

In the beginning, Heroes writers and producers hadn't planned on making Mr. Bennet a very integral character on the series.

Perhaps Coleman's portrayal of the HRG character - instantly appreciated by viewers, providing the 'dark' to Mr. Bennet's 'responsible father figure' image - was what made the Heroes writing crew develop the roles more fully for Coleman.

Jack Coleman's contribution to the show is very significant - surprising, coming out of a small-spot audition that was about a character who was supposed to mainly disappear early in the first season with absolutely LIMITED recurring appearances!!

HRG/Mr. Bennet is no secondary, back in the pages character at all!
