I'm sure it is, but for me to get a crush on an actor I have to
see him be SMART. Vapid pretty people with nice voices don't do
much of anything at all for me. I live in California. They are
everywhere.
And Mohinder has been uniformly vapid throughout the first
season. Of course it's the fault of the writers.
But the writers have made Nathan Petrelli pull a few really
stupid stunts (yeah, it's always a good idea for a politician to
sleep with a random hottie in a hotel his most corrupt campaign
contributor owns) too, and Adrian somehow made me believe in
Nathan anyway.
Possibly because he didn't do it every week.
Of course Adrian could probably make me believe in the tooth
fairy, particularly if he stripped, and I don't think he's ever
had a role where we didn't see him at least half naked at least
once. Boy can't keep his clothes on--this is NOT a complaint.
