My profile with Milo Ventimiglia in GEEK Monthly

If you see the August 2008 issue of Geek Monthly, please check out my interview with actor Milo Ventimiglia. We chat about his role as Peter Petrelli on "Heroes," his darker roles in the film Pathology and the upcoming film Game, as well as his new comic book project Rest.

Here's an excerpt from the interview:

"I'm a huge fan of comics; I was raised in that world," Ventimiglia says. "Batman and G.I. Joe comics were favorites of mine, as was the Sub-Mariner -- who was a bit more badass than Aquaman. I suppose I've always been drawn more to anti-hero characters. Exploring the darker side of humanity is something that I always love to do in every character that I play, whether he has the kindest of hearts, like Peter, or a dark, disgusting character like I've had in past films. Getting into that darker side, I'm interested in what is set in motion that makes the character bad. With peter, there's definitely a side that was show in the first season where here's in the future, and he's this kind of hardened warrior who has physically and emotionally been scarred by events and he's not quite likeable. The darker side of Peter is something that is explored this year -- what drives that, what causes him to see things from a shadowed heart. He is a nurturer and giver, and a hopeful kind of character. But to have that darker side, I think, is always so much fun to play with."
