Another Heroes actor has signed on to star in a new movie.
We've already mentioned that Hayden Panettiere will be starring in I Love You, Beth Cooper.
Now comes news that Milo Ventimiglia has joined the action flick Armored. The film centers on a young armored car guard who is persuaded by his veteran cohorts to empty a truck of its $10 million cargo.
The heist actioner also stars Skeet Ulrich, Matt Dillon, Columbus Short, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno and Fred Ward and is set for a 2009 release.
Milo Ventimiglia looks even more snappy than usual in a suit by Just Cavalli in the February 2008 issue of Interview Magazine.
Can one be any more handsome?!?
It's been rumored for months, but now it appears to be fact:
Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are officially an item.
"Hayden's mom adores Milo. She thinks he's so cute," a family friend told People magazine. "She tells her friends that he's her boyfriend. She's very proud."
The source added: "He's even met her grandparents. He fits in perfectly with the family. Milo jokes around with her little brother. They're buddies."
We wish these two nothing but the best!
Sadly, Milo Ventimiglia has a lot of free time these days. The Heroes actor used some of it to speak with Entertainment Weekly recently...
Are you just chillin' now while the strike is on, or are you working on something new?
I'm pretty busy. I'm doing two features before Christmas. One is called Game, and that's with Gerard Butler and Amber Valletta. It's written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the same guys who did Pathology, the movie I have coming out in the spring.
Who do you play in Game?
A very interesting futuristic character that's not necessarily in control of himself.
Tim Kring told us several weeks ago that the ending of Volume 2 was altered due to strike consequences and a desire to reboot the series when it returned. What can you say about the original ending is it true that the virus was supposed to get out? What ending did you prefer?
It was Tim's intention, I think, to not make people wait much longer. Due to the writers' strike, we were in a position where we're gettin' cut short like everybody else. I think Tim wanted to give some kind of feeling of Hey, we made it. The End. And I think it was the right thing to do. A good thing to do.
With regards to the virus getting out or not getting out, at this point it doesn't, so it's kind of a moot point, which seems like an easy answer for me to give. Now I know we're taking a direction that is going away from the virus from what I understand. The best answers are always gonna come out of Tim's mouth. I mean let's not kid ourselves: I wear make up and read lines for living.
Have you noticed changes in how Heroes fans approach you on the street this season?
For the most part, people still walk up to you with smiles on their faces saying, ''I love it. I love it. I love it.'' Occasionally, you get somebody who kinda looks at you and thinks, Eh, first season was better, but I still watch you guys. You're doing pretty good.
I think there are a lot of fans that are begrudgingly hanging in there, very patiently waiting for us . As a person that's on the show as well as a fan of the show, I always want to get back to the great character moments that drive the series. I'm hoping we get back to the feeling of the first season: that kind of base human emotion, that level where these people that have these abilities are understanding them still.
Read the full interview with Milo now.
You can't watch Milo Ventigmilia and Kristen Bell on Heroes tonight.
But you can take a look at two American Eagles Outfitters claymation videos featuring the actors.
The first one is a story narrated by - and starring - as he heads home for the Hholidays, but first has to endure a less than ideal plane ride; the second features Bell stealing Christmas gifts from Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
With no Heroes episode to preview for Monday, the least we can do is give you a glimpse into one of the show's most popular stars.
Here are a few interesting tidbits about Milo Ventimiglia:
1. He has a birth defect, which the actor describes as a "crooked" mouth, explained as dead nerves causing his lower lip to lie limp.
"It's so cute," Hayden Panettiere one said. "It's a flaw, and I hate perfection more than anything in the world."
2. In 2000, Ventimiglia traveled solo through Europe, where he spent his 23rd birthday in the small town of Ventimiglia, Italy. As you can guess, this is where his surname originated.
3. The actor loves punk rock, but has to be sure to watch his face:"I'm literally standing off to the side, freaked out about getting crushed or punched in the face, and having to explain a black eye to a producer or makeup artist at work," Ventimiglia told the New York Post.
4. Ventimiglia believes he's still being undermined by his Heroes character's boyishly long bangs. Show creator Tim Kring commented on it: "We have a disagreement over the hair, but we're moving toward [a compromise], and it's really cool."
5. Of his Heroes character's occupation as a male hospice worker, Ventimiglia said: "I showed up for the cast photo shoot with scrubs on and Greg Grunberg's in his cop outfit, standing tall, hand on his gun, and I'm like, 'Oh man, I'm a murse [''male nurse'']. Not a doctor, a nurse.'"
Now that Milo Ventimiglia - or, well, Peter Petrelli - has helped save the world again, he can focus on the one person he wasn't able to save: Adrian Pasdar's character, Nathan.
Ventimiglia told The Associated Press during a telephone interview Wednesday that he hopes Nathan's death is far from final.
"I really hope he's not going anywhere," Ventimiglia said. "That would be really disappointing to me to lose a brother and an amazing scene partner. I'm sure it's all going to work out the way it's supposed to."
Ventimiglia says he didn't watch the finale - and he wasn't alone.
Ratings for Monday's episode were down from the previous week, and the conclusion of Volume Two was the lowest-rated finale episode for the show yet, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Meanwhile, the actor doesn't know anything about future scripts in light of the writers' strike: "We ran out of stuff to shoot. That's basically what it boils down to."
Ventimiglia says he'll appear in the upcoming films Game and The Chaos Theory.
"I try and take a break and take a vacation," he said. "But I keep getting wrapped up in jobs."
We try to refrain from spreading too much Heroes gossip around here - preferring to stick to spoilers, episode guides and general series discussions - but we know some fans enjoy the following kinds of rumors.
According to In Touch Weekly, Milo Ventimiglia has purchased a gold Tiffany's ring for his alleged girlfriend... Hayden Panettiere.
An insider at the shady magazine says Milo gave Hayden an 18-karat yellow-gold ring - worth $1,950 - from the famed jewelers as a belated birthday present. She did turn 18 in late August, after all.
Reportedly, the ring is called Somerset Heart, features a woven band and a heart and is inscribed, "Sweet like Hayden."
Honestly, if these two are dating, we're gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the age difference is not as sordid as some might think.
