Horn Rimmed Glasses may not be the most fashionable accessory, but Heroes actor Jack Coleman has revealed why he thinks they make his character, Noah Bennett.

“My character was called Horn-Rimmed Glasses from the start,” Coleman told Radio Times. “They’re not the most attractive things, but Man in Ray-Bans didn’t have the same menace. I put them on and I’m the character, but sometimes I still find pictures of me in them disconcerting.”

Coleman also explained what he likes about Noah Bennet, saying: “What I love about him is that he’s always on a moral pendulum. As good as he gets, he always goes back to being dastardly.”
