Toward the end of the Fugitives Volume on Heroes, we'll meet Sylar's father. His real father, we presume.

According to Michael Ausiello, this role will be played by John Glover, the same actor that portrayed Lex Luthor's dad on Smallville.

"When Sylar meets his father, he's going to see a path ahead of him that he doesn't want to take," said a Heroes source. "He has a lot more in common with his father than he realized."

Glover is a Tony award winner, who was recently featured on Brothers & Sisters as a love interest for Ron Rifkin's Saul.
