ISAAC MENDEZ

Being able to predict the future is a heavy burden to bear – never mind the fact that Isaac, the visionary New York artist, has a troubled history of heroin addiction. Even when he shakes off the destructive cravings, thanks in part to Horn Rimmed Glasses, he still can't escape one terrifying fact. He has painted New York, exploding. And his paintings have never been wrong yet.

Of all the Heroes, Isaac has the best hope of seeing what is coming and thus doing something about it, but he won't be able to do it alone. His destiny awaits, but will he embrace or flee from it?

Like many of the Heroes cast, Santiago Cabrera has a strong theatre background. Unlike any of them, he has also been a semi-professional football player. And we mean proper football, not American football.
