Noah Bennet is the eyes and ears of the audience this time, catching everyone up on what’s happened in the past while discovering what’s going on in the present. He’s not playing both sides of the fence anymore.

Noah is a little older, a little wiser, and he’s definitely on the side of the EVOs, as we now call them, which we didn’t in the first series. He’s not the true believer that he was, back in the day when he was working for the company, and then he was completely disillusioned by the fact that they were coming after his daughter.

This guy is much more settled in his life, his philosophy and his take on things. You weren’t ever quite sure what side he was on. And then, he became this morally grey guy. When you first met Noah Bennet, he was being touted as the face of evil. That’s a trick that I’m glad I didn’t have to try to perform. Prequels can be really tricky with hair pieces and make-up because you’ve gotta somehow look younger than before the show started. One thing that was really working for me was that it was five years later, and not five years before the first series every began.

COLEMAN: I slipped into it pretty easily and pretty comfortably.
