Thomas goes on to state that he was never under any contract with [[NBC]] and was hired per episode. He was no longer allowed to be cast in episodes for ''Heroes'' after he landed the part of "John" in the ''Sarah Connor Chronicles''. He also stated that he would like to portray a gay character again in the future with full knowledge of that character's sexuality so he can give the character the kind of development and performance the character would deserve.
