Ali Larter Apologizes After ‘Heroes’ Co-Star Leonard Roberts Blames On-Set Tension For His Exit
Black actor Leonard Roberts penned an emotional personal essay about his experience as a cast member during the first season of NBC’s Heroes in 2006, and how he was dismissed after alleged on-set tensions with his primary co-star, actress Ali Larter. He claimed that she was uncooperative in scenes together, and Leonard believed Ali felt that he was “tarnishing her brand.” The 44-year-old has issued an apology after Roberts’ piece was published on Dec. 16 by our sister site Variety, where he recalled his experiences with the actress, as well as Heroes‘ creator and show runner Tim Kring and Executive Producer Dennis Hammer that ultimately led to Leonard’s dismissal.
