One Heroes returns, a new face will be seen on the series. Jamie Hector, who is famous for playing Marlo 'Black' Stanfield on HBO’s The Wire, is the newest addition to the Heroes’ family. In an Interview with New York Magazine, the African-American actor talked about his appearance on the highly acclaimed show. Hector will be playing the role of Benjamin Knox Washington . Except for his name, the character sketch, goal and motivation still remain confidential but Hector assures fans that he will keep them fascinated. “I can't really disclose much about him (Washington), but I can tell you it's a lot of fun,” he said. The make-up and effects required for his character also excited him. “So many special effects — and it all winds up looking so real,” he shared. Hector has started taping for the show and was overwhelmed by the experience. He is happy and thankful for the warm welcome given by the rest of the cast to a newcomer like him. “The set is different — it's warmer outside, obviously — and in Baltimore , since most of us are not from Baltimore , we all hang out and go to dinner after shooting. We're like a family,” he told New York Magazine. Hector has been in the industry for quite a time now. He began acting shortly after graduating from high school. He started in a community theater company and patiently pursued his career by auditioning for several shows. Eventually, he landed roles on Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Third Watch, and The Beat. He has also appeared on several films including Blackout, Brooklyn Bound, Everyday People, Five Deep Breaths, Paid in Full, Prison Song and He Got Game to name a few. Outside the show business world, Hector spends his spare time mentoring children. He teaches martial arts and drama. He also counsels the youth and encourages them to attend school.
