12 Actors You Probably Forgot Were On Heroes

2. Bruce Boxleitner

Heroes Stan Lee
NBC

Who He Played: New York governor Robert Malden in several Season 3 episodes.

Where You Know Him From: Fighting for the users as Tron.

Why You Forgot He Was On Heroes: In Season 3, Malden was the link to introducing Tracy Strauss - the third of the triplets played by Ali Larter - on the show and getting her tangled up in the politics and storyline surrounding Nathan Petrelli and, eventually, Arthur Petrelli's larger plans.

Offering little more than that, Malden's role was ultimately inconsequential, with the show essentially wasting Bruce Boxleitner, whose sturdy film and television career was in place long before Heroes and has continued on in stride, with the actor even set to dip back into the world of Tron for another go-round as the titular character.
