BBC Two - Heroes Unmasked, Series 2, The Casting Couch

Heroes Unmasked gets some exclusive interviews with the show's casting agents.

Heroes Unmasked gets some exclusive interviews with the casting agents and reveals how Kristen Bell achieved her electric performance as Elle.

As Heroes is well known for its fantastic and evolving ensemble cast, Heroes Unmasked takes a step behind the casting couch for some exclusive interviews with the people every actor in Hollywood would like to know - the casting agents. 

As they give insights into the decisions made in the casting room, Unmasked also hears from the actors themselves on the nerve-racking audition process and how it felt to get the job!

And with new cast members come new powers, as Unmasked finds out how Kristen Bell achieved her electric performance as Elle, asks Dana Davis if she did all of Monica's crazy stunts herself, and discovers just how Stephen Tobolowsky plays the role of Bob when his character is so ambiguous?

Unmasked also tells all about the casting of child "genius" Noah Gray-Cabey who plays Micah, and his on-screen grandmother who was beamed up by the legendary sci-fi actress Nichelle Nichols.

So join Heroes Unmasked and take a seat on the casting couch!
