    This is a hell of a story about what really happened to Leonard Roberts when he was a series regular on Heroes and his white co-star Ali Larter didn't want to perform intimate scenes with a black man, among other racist things:https://variety.com/2020/tv/features/heroes-leonard-roberts-ali-larter-1234854439/ …

        I first heard about this a few years ago, and it's a real shame. Roberts is incredibly talented.

        I'm disappointed in but not surprised by Ali Larter's conduct. Leonard is a real talent and deserved much better

        Is I'm a racist, I'm not doing a love scene a valid excuse for not doing your work these days?

        I'm troubled that she wasn't let go because she refused to do a part of her job that was required. There are thousands of actresses more than happy to step in
