	'''How are actors cast for Evolutions roles? For instance, [[Brian]] (from [[brianundaunted]]), the [[Global News Interactive]] team, the experts on ''[[Sword Saint]]'', and the experts on [[activatingevolution.org]]--are they found through [[Jason La Padura]] (casting director for ''Heroes''), or by some other means?		'''How are actors cast for Evolutions roles? For instance, [[Brian Dante\|Brian]] (from [[brianundaunted]]), the [[Global News Interactive]] team, the experts on ''[[Sword Saint]]'', and the experts on [[activatingevolution.org]]--are they found through [[Jason La Padura]] (casting director for ''Heroes''), or by some other means?

	The initial casting for our online actors is done by the production team and the company producing the webisodes. Then we run their tapes by the show for approvals. For example, the Drucker & Kensei pieces, GrapeVine utilized a casting agency and held a casting session. We then ran our casting selects by the show execs for approval. The [[Tatsuya Atsumi\|Museum Curator]] in the Kensei piece is the only exception, as he was already cast as a member of the show.

	Masi Oka writes and creates all of the Hiro blog entries himself. I put together the Drucker postcard code and our lead designer (~~{{link\|~~Markus Hagen}}) created the artwork and flash file. The games and riddles for Heroes Evolutions are developed by our in-house team and the Heroes Transmedia team working together with the [[Portal:Writers\|show writers]] to help guide us and keep us within the show's mythology.

	'''Why was the name of the online ''Heroes'' content changed from "Heroes 360" to "Heroes Evolutions"?		'''Why was the name of the online ''Heroes'' content changed from "Heroes 360" to "Heroes Evolutions"?

	360 is so 2006! yahoo360, Xbox360, espn360... In all honesty the term was used to help us explain to executives how all encompassing we can be, and how we can tie into the show and online. 360 kind of just stuck for lack of a better term at the time, and then, as some of you know, once you get a green light to go ahead on a project, there's no looking back. You work around the clock until you get some downtime, i.e. summer break...which we spent launching the [[Yamagato]] documentary and preparing for comic-con. :) So when we sat down this fall and started brainstorming ideas for [[Season 2]], we all came up with a list of names and sent them up the ladder for review. Evolutions was agreed upon as the closest description of what we were aiming to accomplish: a gradual process in which something changes into a different, and usually more complex or better form.		360 is so 2006! yahoo360, Xbox360, espn360...
