Zachary Levi Reveals the Premise of "Heroes Reborn"1 of 4
Levi plays Luke Collins, an angry vigilante out to avenge the loss of his son. It's a huge departure from the lovable nerd he played on "Chuck". He gave IMDb the scoop on his character, the show's apocalyptic premise, and why he thinks "Heroes Reborn" is similar to the beloved first season of "Heroes".
IMDb: Is Luke a bad man or just misunderstood?
ZL: Misunderstood, tortured, all those things. When I sat down with [series creator] Tim [Kring] early on and had conversations before joining the project, I had personal prerequisites. I didn't want to be Chuck again. You've got to challenge yourself as a performer. You have to challenge your audience's perceptions of you. Otherwise, you'll be the same guy over and over.
