Adrian Pasdar Leaving "Heroes"

The "Heroes" star, Adrian Pasdar, who plays politician Nathan Petrelli, found out through his script that he was leaving the show. Pasdar has played Petrelli for four seasons on the NBC drama.

People believe that Pasdar was not informed by producers beforehand that he would be dismissed from the show. An official reason for his exit has not been made as of yet. A NBC studio rep for the series would not confirm the information.

The rumor of a major character's death began floating around last month.

Technically Pasdar's character died during the last season's finale, but since another character has the ability to shape-shift and took his form meant that Pasdar would continue to be on the show.

"Heroes" is about the adventures of ordinary people who have superhuman powers. The show contains stars like Kristen Bell and David Anders.

The NBC show airs on Mondays at 8 p.m
