EXCLUSIVE: Heroes‘ Noah Bennet will have his trusted associate when he tackles a new group of everyday people with extraordinary abilities. Heroes alum Jimmy Jean-Louis is set for an arc on the upcoming Heroes Reborn event series, reprising his role as The Haitian. This is the third character from the original series confirmed to appear in the follow-up, along with Jack Coleman’s Noah and Masi Oka’s Hiro Nakamura.
