Did you know that Milo Ventimiglia is not the only actor from Gilmore Girls to end up on Heroes? Well, I didn’t catch on right away either! But, the connection is closer than you may think!

Angela Petrelli, who plays Peter Petrelli’s (Milo Ventimiglia) mom on Heroes, is that connection! Cristine Rose is the actress behind the devious yet compelling Angela Petrelli, and she starred in two episodes of Gilmore Girls as Francine Hayden, Christopher’s (David Sutcliffe) mom. Here are all of Cristine Rose’s scenes in Gilmore Girls:

Fantastic find Katie! I just posted about it: http://www.gilmoregirlsnews.com/2008/12/31/alan-blumenfeld-in-heroes/
Alan Blumenfeld is another connection to Heroes and Gilmore Girls. He plays Matt Parkman’s father (aka the nightmare man) in Heroes and he plays the Rabbi in a few episodes of GG.
I never noticed before! That’s cool.
Nice catch!
There are many other things that links GG and Heroes. Talking about actors there is also Masi Oka [Hiro Nakamura in Heroes] had a little part on GG. He was the Harvard student in the episode “Road trip to harvard”. This is not the only thing. When the studios talked about a possble spinoff dedicated to Jess the actor who tried to play the part of Jess’s father was Adrian Pasdar but they rejected him because too young to be his father and they said he would have been better as Milo/Jess’s brother. Milo and Adrian have 8 years of difference and 8 years later Adrian and Milo become Petrelli brothers in Heroes. This is not everything but are the most important things. Heroes and GG have lots and lots of things in common in can continue to speak about that for hours also because I love either these shows :P
