TWoP is proud to be home to Jack Coleman's blog. Read it and whoop! This thread is the place to discuss it on TWoP. It'll probably have some behind the scenes stuff, although I doubt it will contain serious spoilers. Talk about it all you want in here, but please keep conversation about the blog out of other threads.

The first entry is all Hi-Diddle Dee, And Actor's Life For Me. It's a good read. You should check it out. Enjoy!

Oh, I am just beyond excited that Jack Coleman is doing a blog for TWoP. Bennet is by far my favorite character on the show. But he shouldn't fret too much about those glasses making him look like a 60's shop teacher... I'm sure there are many posters around here that would gladly be in Sandra Bennet's shoes. ;)

This is freakin' fabulous. The actor who portrays one of the most interesting characters on TV is writing a TWOP blog. Is this heaven? And, judging by his first entry, this will be muy entertaining.

Welcome, Jack!

Oh MAJOR squee'ing HELLLOs to you Mr. Coleman! And yes, I am a little embarrassed to have ACTUALLY whooped out loud and scared the cats, and my husband, when I saw your blog!

Welcome, I've been looking forward to a new interview here at TWoP since the podcast interview long ago, I never imagined you'd be here in blog form!

YAY!

He really has the greatest humour.

"What?! How can I not be in the first episode?! It's the season premiere! What do you mean I'm not in it?! Look again!"

This was my initial reaction too.

You're awesome, Jack.

Oh my gosh! This is so awesome!

I promise, I will keep the videos and icons and random feet conversations to a minimum. I said minimum. Not ... none. Hey, I'm human...

Now, if only we could get Cristine Rose one of these gigs.

My head might explode from all this wonderfulness.

I think mine already did. You know, I like our random feet conversations. I bet he understands that 'cause he looks like an awesome person.

Oh, man. What a stupid idea.

KIDDING! I'm kidding! *starts fleeing from ... every poster for this show*

Seriously, I was so excited when I saw the announcement on the home page. I think my brain has twisted itself into a pretzel trying to express how freakin' cool Jack Coleman is. So this should be an interesting post.
His first blog entry was very gracious, humorous and charming and it made me look forward to what's to come (for the show and the blog). Welcome aboard, Mr. Coleman!

I was a huge HRG fan from day one of Heroes (or at least day 2), and a huge Jack Coleman fan from his first TWOP interview. An actor who shows genuine appreciation for the fans and the crew earns my fan loyalty (for whatever that's worth... $1.99 an episode on i-tunes?). I've been a TWOP reader for more than 5 years and this is the first time I've felt inspired to post in the Forums. Jack Coleman, you're a class act! And also hilarious! And also SQUEE!

I enjoyed reading it... Jack, if you are peeking in here, you are a very engaging storyteller! I'm not going to squee over it though (I'll save that in case Dania, Kristen or Ali gets a blog ;) .

Hey, Jack - if you read this and are passing on messages, could your please ask them to NEVER shoot your character again? Three times in two seasons (Haitian, Parkman and StupidHead Mohinder) is about all this HRG fan can handle.

I have to agree with BB, I don't think I can handle to see HRG getting shot again. My heart won't be able to take it no more. :(

Yay for UKEmmy!!! :D

That was a great read :) One of the things I like the most about Heroes is that it discovered me Jack Coleman, and now TWP let me know him a bit more, so thanks!!!!

Yeee-haw! One of the smartest, funniest, driest, smoovest actors on the show, and he's going to write stuff for US? We wee li'l TWoPpers? We're not worthy!

I'm a huge fan of Beaming Beeman's blog, so this is just more candy, cake, and ice cream for me (and I hope Greg keeps up his blog, too; he gets some of the best candid photos of all time, and he actually DOES know what's been influenced by Kurosawa... one of my favorite things about the show is seeing visual shout-outs to some of the greatest camerawork in cinema). Jack can give us the skinny on the actor's perspective, and... well, died and gone to heaven, really.

Nice get!

I hardly ever read blogs because I'm afraid that if I start getting hooked on one, I'll be wanting to read more, get hooked on those, leave no space for me to do anything else whatsoever but read blogs for the rest of my life.

Having said that, I caved, the HRM Blog promo on the TWoP homepage lured me in and is it not the best damn thing? It is, I loved it. It's incohesively cohesive and it's seriously funny. Moooooore!

And to prove my point about not reading blogs because of it being time consuming and addictive and never-ending: I'm now lured into the Beaming Beeman's blog. Thanks a lot. ;)

The blog, like Mr. Coleman himself - is fantastic!

I laughed aloud while reading it, then read it to Mr. Wench and I posted the link to it on my FB.

Awesome!

Totally awesome!

I can't wait to read more. Noah is my favourite character on Heroes. And I still get a big kick out of the fact that I used to crush over Jack back during his Dynasty days and now, my crush is back ;>

Hi Mr. Coleman. As a loyal Heroes fan, I just want to say "Thank you!" for posting here for us. I love your commentary on the show and how it works, and I'm looking forward to reading more.

P.S.--My favorite character from the first season (besides yours, of course! :) ) was Hana Gitelman. Any chance we'll see more of a strong, tough female supporting character with a useful, awesome power like hers who dies trying to take down The Company?
