"I'm not a cargo jet, Parkman."

[adeline]

LOL, okay, so I was on Adrian's youtube page because I wanted to embed one of his videos into this more light-hearted post, and I saw that he posted a message a little under an hour ago! This is what it says:

I won't say anything. Yet. Other than that the last four years have been wonderful and ALL the folks that go into making HEROES have treated me professionally and with respect. I am still under contract to NBC/Universal, and will remain so until the end of season 4. On another note, I spent today with Masi Oka at Universal Studios, on the lot, and we had some fun behind the scenes at the Jaws attraction on the Tour... I'll post it in a bit. All I had was my iPhone, so the quality might not be as decent and you're used to... Stay Tuned!

Awesome or awesome? I say AWESOME.

And yeah, a lot of stuff doesn't add up and I can't wait until he can talk (lolol no lie, that "Yet." is my favorite part in his note), and maybe this is all but a storm in a teacup and next week we'll feel like total morons, but probably not. The storm has been coming a while. The more I learn, the more I'm convinced the Heroes management treats its people like crap, and that's just foul.

But back to my original sentiment, here's the treasure I wished to remind us all of:

♥♥♥

And below the cut is a poll about what roles you think Pasdar should go for next, because clearly we can't be without his fantastic self on our screens for too long, can we?

[Poll #1480419]

Last but not least, here's a humorous article courtesy of MTV.com on the many falls of Nathan Petrelli. (Thanks, kelleah.)

Right, and there was a new episode of Heroes on last night. I shall review it later, and probably finish the season too because a) I am that clingy, and b) we haven't seen the last of Adrian yet. Also did I mention my clinginess? I'll keep the gratuitous hate to a minimum though, promise.

ETA: EW.com: What should Adrian Pasdar's next project be? It's like they read my mind. ;)

When he spills the beans....oh oh I am going to be joyful...I hope he just rips into the entire show (well Kring and the writers, the cast and crew are still of the awesome)

I Would love to see him on something like Glee!

I miss the good old days of 2007 when he would post Heroes related vids every week and we would be so happy.

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

LOL, I can't wait either... I mean he probably won't be making an ass of himself biting down too hard on the hand that fed him etc., but I swear there've been interviews before this season started where Grunny was like "YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALWAYS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE TOP" and Adrian was like, "Come on, dude. No." So it's good to know he's lucid and unafraid to tell it like it is. I'm sure he'll show 'em how you handle an unpleasant situation with class and respect. Did I mention I can't wait? XD

I was surprised so many people commented to Kristin and Ausiello that he should be on Glee! But come to think of it, I would love that. XD

The were like the Golden Days of Heroes Fandom, true story. The summer between seasons 1 and 2 was the best.

[be-found.livejournal.com]

Adrian has class he will probably be very subtle in his digs about the show....but yeah looking forward to it a lot. Grunny is just programmed by Kring to be like OMG SQUEE every new season, I bet he can't wait to stop pretending!

I need Sendhil in Glee as a bitchy coach of another Glee team....Adrian perhaps could be another coach (I'm guessing we will see more teams in the second half of the season when they go further)

The summer between seasons 1 and 2 was the best The greatest time in fandom

[malicat.livejournal.com]

He should join "Modern Family" because I love this show to bits and pieces and think Adrian would be great in a comedy show :)

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

I keep meaning to check it out, will get around to it eventually. I would LOVE to see Adrian do comedy. :D

[brandinsbabe.livejournal.com]

i cant wait to hear what he has to say about this. omg. my bb <3 his awesomeness has no bounds. and we prob have more vids from him to look forward to now. small consolation, but at least it's something!

i didn't vote for glee, cause i think he's great in dramatic things, but omg i can TOTALLY see him in it, being his cute declan dunn self! haha

also, i gotta say, i'm so glad i have you to talk to about all this <3333

ALSO, ugh. i am clingy too. baww to us. we can hate gratuitously with each other hehe

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, I'm really looking forward to the new vids. And messages, really, because they might just be more likely to actually happen. ;) I'm happy for him to be busy with work, though, so I'd never complain about the wait. ^^

Wouldn't it be ADORABLE if he showed up on Glee as an AP Anthropology teacher or something? Hee. And/or Terri's new annoying-as-hale redneck boyfriend, lmao. Idk why, that would amuse me to no end.

I am so glad I have you, as well! I would be such a MESS if I couldn't talk and vent and rant and have other people feel the same and understand <3 *hugs*

[greatbriton.livejournal.com]

awwww, Pasdar!! I guess that is definite confirmation. As the "SURPRISE DEATH" its not surprising and I'm disappointed it was news, really. I mean... its not a death. It was a death last season. C'mon! I do have to say I was hoping they'd keep Pasdar on to return here and there as "Nathan" in Sylar's body.

But as the treating an awesome actor like crap news, its sad. Really fucking sad.

But that is the nature of the business sometimes. Execs, bigwigs, producers can be ruthless and don't care as long as they get paid.

I hope he gets work soon and does AWESOME!

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

Seriously though, WHY IS THIS NEWS? lol. I guess because of Ausiello's item and Kristin's tease and every one getting paranoid and annoyed? But I still don't get how, in the story on the SHOW, that death could be much of an actual shock. Unless they revive original!Nathan and THEN kill him AGAIN, which would be beyond ridiculous even for these guys. *facepalm*

It's upsetting that he was treated so wrong, but you know what? I feel somewhat heartwarmed that the TV spoiler columnists did not just shut up about it and instead made the big ruckus that they did. It's the kind of solidarity that I find truly inspiring and admirable. <3 And now we're justly able to rally behind this guy we love and let him know we're not done with him yet and he has our support and sympathy. Win 78823 for the internet! :D

I'm mean I'm not glossing over how awfully TPTB behaved, I still find it really sickening. It's just nice that fans are reacting in such an awesome way to it.

[greatbriton.livejournal.com]

Unless they revive original!Nathan and THEN kill him AGAIN, which would be beyond ridiculous even for these guys.

O.O shhhhhhh!!! don't give them ideas.

You know, I totally understand what you're saying and that firing him through the script is beyond disgusting behavior. And its beautiful that fans are showing him that he has support and that he'll be followed to other projects.

But even AP put it in his message that he's contracted with NBC until the end of Season 4. So he's getting paid. He's got time. Even though they randomly booted him off the show and that probably hurts on a personal level and I feel for the guy, but professionally I think he'll be fine.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

omg EW did it again? they stole my True Blood poll a while ago, and theirs was lame

in any case he should be on a show I watch!

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

lol, at least they didn't include a poll with this article, though they did mention stuff I thought about and then FORGOT TO INCLUDE (ha, it's like a tradition in my polls XD), such as a Profit remake or, y'know, my bed. (EW didn't mention that, you reminded me of it with your write-in. XD)

in any case he should be on a show I watch!

That'd be awesome if he could join a show I'm already watching/intend to watch. But let's face it, if he gets a new gig on ANY show, I'm gonna be watching that. lol.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

I see that my suggestion was noticed! :ppp

OR he should start a show with other people-that-don't-have-shows-right-now-but-are-awesome-and-I-miss-them!
like Paul Campbell & Michael Trucco & Tricia Helfer & Sean Maher & Lee Pace & Kristen Bell &...

[boombangbing.livejournal.com]

Man, I voted for just about everything, but I'm particularly pleased by the idea of him in Parenthood. I ~love~ the movie, and Adrian could basically just play his own goofy dad self. Get on that, Adrian.

ALSO, him playing a for srs superhero would rock. \o/

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

I have to be honest, I haven't seen the movie and only included Parenthood because I think he and Lauren Graham would make an adorable, hot pairing. Lulz! But it sounds like a show I'd enjoy anyways, so if he ever joins the cast, that's totally fine by me. :D

him playing a for srs superhero would rock

*nods vehemently*

[boombangbing.livejournal.com]

Well, a lot of the reason I love it is because I have a weakness for Keanu Reeves circa the late 80s/early 90s, but this is also the movie that produced the stupid yet happy child who puts a bucket over his head and walks repeatedly into walls. That became kind of a running joke between me and my mum. :D

I'm now imagining Adrian in a Middleman type show. Goddamnit, my life would be made if that happened.

*relevant icon*

[kelleah.livejournal.com]

I'm loving the Glee suggestion. He could join his other Heroes family over there like Stephen Tobolowsky, Jayma Mays, and Jessalyn Gilsig. And I would love to see his show choir go toe-to-toe with Mr. Shue's show choir, and there'd be all this hoyay! subtext and heavy breathing punctuated by intense glaring and ...

Okay, I'm back.

Anyway, I also had the write-in suggestion of maybe joining Leverage and/or Burn Notice as a recurring villain. What can I say, I love those shows and I like my Pasdar dark. ;-) He couldn't be a regular cast member, but that's not all that bad. For now, anyway.

I think Adrian will keep it classy-ish when he finally responds to what happened. Granted, he's not one to pussyfoot around, but he's been in the business a long time and he knows the producer he badmouths today, could cost him a job tomorrow. If not directly, then possibly by word-of-mouth or influence. I think he'll play it cool.

But hey, let's not take the piss on Grunny, though. He's not a cheerleader on autopilot. He's criticized the show in the past as well. I remember a few comments he made during Heroes Unmasked about a few things that happened that made his character look too stupid early on, and he's tweeted that he thought giving Parkman the same ability as Usutu was too heavy handed a plot device last season. So I don't think he's just a meat puppet for Kring & Co.

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

Adrian is so classy and awesome. <3 I love him.

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

I love this man. He should be everywhere.

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

PS. Know what I love the most about that video? (there are a lot of things I love about this video)

the casual way Milo just UNBUTTONS Adrian's shirt.

[dref22.livejournal.com]

Noone in this cast deserves this kind of treatment. But I guess he is not the only example in this business. People don't stop talking about him though because Heroes is not about superpowers it's about the awesome cast.

The summer between seasons 1 and 2 was the time I came to LJ. It was truly magical.

[decadentdream.livejournal.com]

*cough* White Collar? (A) *cough*

I'm obsessed with ticky boxes... thank you :P (Also - appreciate you posting the Youtube comment)

[ialwayswill.livejournal.com]

I kinda want Peter to kill himself after he finds out Nathan is dead. I'm a sucker for that kind of dramatic stuff~ LOL

AND AFTER THEY ARE BOTH OFF THE SHOW THEY CAN GO MAKE THAT GILMORE GIRLS SPIN-OFF LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO

[nitro26.livejournal.com]

Aww, Adrian = ♥. We need more people like him. *nods*

LOL BOLLYWOOD? You crack me up. Now I'm trying very hard not to imagine him dancing. xD

[ohhbuildings.livejournal.com]

ahhh i love his videos. backstage anything always makes me so happy.

[12-12-12.livejournal.com]

Dude. I just heard about this, and...wow. I am verklempt. Did you read Adrian's note on his YouTube account about his last scene with Milo?

And if Ausiello was telling the truth about HOW he was let go, then...that just sucks. I don't even know what to say to that, because it seems so disrespectful that I'm finding it hard to believe it happened. But then again, Ausiello is pretty reliable.
