Today (April 3, 2009) Aaron will be filming a guest spot on the pilot episode for a new sitcom for ABC called No Heroics. It’s a small role as the father of the birthday girl.
Below is some information about the show from the Hollywood Reporter…
ABC picks up comedy pilot ‘No Heroics’ (February 10, 2009) – The network has greenlighted a single-camera comedy pilot based on the British series. Written by “Will & Grace” alum Jeff Greenstein and original show creator Drew Pearce, “No Heroics” is about a group of superheroes with less-than-formidable powers who hang out at a bar. Greenstein and Pearce are exec producing with Andrew Zein of Tiger Aspect, which produces the British series for ITV.
Freddie Prinze Jr. cast in ‘No Heroics’ (March 18, 2009) – Freddie Prinze Jr. has been tapped to star on ABC’s comedy pilot “No Heroics.” ABC Studios’ “Heroics” revolves around four B-list superheroes — three of them played by Paul Campbell, Eliza Coupe and Arielle Kebbel — living among us. Canadian Campbell plays the leader of the group, Pete aka Chillout, a Canadian-born superhero who can freeze small objects. Prinze will play his nemesis and tormentor Bradley aka Ultimatum, the personification of everything Pete despises and secretly wishes he could be. An A-list superhero, Bradley is a handsome, cocky and egotistical Alpha male who has all the women and fame and money a guy could want.
I wonder if Aaron and Paul Campbell (Billy Keikeya on BSG) will get any scenes together.

Production Companies: ABC Studios, Tiger Aspect Productions
Executive Producers/Writers: Drew Pearce, Jeff Greenstein
Executive Producer: Andrew Zein
Director: Andy FlemmingWelcome to a world where there are Super Heroes and some uh, well… Not-So-Super Heroes. And when you’re on the Super Hero D-list, being a caped crusader isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Take Pete A.K.A. Chillout who may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but can he can make ice cubes in a single malt scotch. At least he’s a hit at parties. Nigel A.K.A. Brainstorm can read your mind… that is if he’s really, really close to you and he’s in the mood. Other than that, his super powers are limited to lightning-fast insults – he is British, after all. Then there’s Callie A.K.A. Crossfade. Okay, sure, she’s cool, but her days as a Super Hero child star have left her bitter and jaded. Sandy A.K.A. Slamazon is crazy strong. Unfortunately, powerful women scare men, so she hasn’t had a decent date in years. Never before has a group of super heroes been such a bunch of super zeroes. Together, they hang out at The Watchtower, a bar for super-types where they hurl insults at more successful heroes, like Bradley A.K.A. Infinitum, a square-jawed, square-brained super stud.
Based on the hit British series, No Heroics is a single-camera comedy adapted by Jeff Greenstein (Will and Grace) along with Andrew Zein and original show creator Drew Pearce. These four heroically-challenged friends may not have much going for them, but you never know when we might need them.
