Who He Played: A bus driver in Season 1's "Unexpected".

Where You Know Him From: Really?

Why You Forgot He Was On Heroes: Though it's become tradition to look forward to his cameos in Marvel movies, it's easy to forget that he's popped up in several non-Marvel films and shows over the years. His brief encounter with Hiro in Season 1 was a fun highlight for comic fans back in 2007, but it was in a time when Marvel Studios had yet to burst onto the scene and change the game.

Thanks to the MCU, countless casual audience members the world over have been converted into true believers eager to acknowledge they know who Stan Lee is (even though he'd been doing cameos in nearly all the Marvel films that populated the start of the 2000s). It's undeniable that a number of people revisiting the series now who haven't seen it since it aired would be pleasantly surprised to see him turn up.
