'Heroes' Exclusive: Sylar's Dad is Lionel Luthor! To restore the super to Heroes, the show is going -- but of course -- to Smallville! Sources confirm to me exclusively that the struggling NBC drama has tapped John Glover, a.k.a. Lex Luthor's dad, Lionel, to play Sylar's father. "When Sylar meets his father, he's going to see a path ahead of him that he doesn't want to take," reveals a Heroes insider. "He has a lot more in common with his father than he realized." The Tony award winner, who recently booked an arc on Brothers & Sisters as a love interest for Ron Rifkin's Saul, will turn up towards the end of Heroes' forthcoming "Fugitives" chapter.

Thank you, Pedro! That is such exciting news!!!!
I really loved Lionel Luthor as a villian. I've really missed him on Smallville.
I think John Glover is a fascinating actor to watch. He would be wonderful as Sylar's dad. I can't wait to find out how he fits in with the Petrellis and the rest of the older generation on Heroes. I didn't think the choice of actor for Arthur Petrelli was very interesting, so it's great to know we can look forward to a fascinating paternal turn in the upcoming volume.
I was so disappointed that Sylar went back to full throttle evil at the end of the last volume. He was so intriguing when he had emotional layers. His chemistry with Kristen Bell was phenomenol. I'll bet he'll have some great scenes with John Glover.
