Sendhil Ramamurthy is one of the more unlikely Heroes on the NBC show of the same name. While he does not have superpowers himself, he's been a major part in the playing out of this story of human evolution.

We were tickled to find this article in Nirali Magazine from October about how he landed the part, his background, and on being a newfound heartthrob:

He's also not accustomed to the whisperings on the Internet about his status as the newest brown heartthrob. (Bollywood "heroes," step aside.) The popular South Asian weblog Sepia Mutiny has mentioned him on several occasions, and more than a few women have commented on Ramamurthy's charm and good looks on the site.

Ramamurthy is surprised by the attention: "The whole heartthrob thing is news to me. I'm very flattered, actually—I've never been in this situation before." Unfortunately for his fans, Ramamurthy is quite happily taken. He is married to British-Polish actress Olga Sosnovska, whom he met at drama school. Together, the couple has a one-year-old daughter.

We couldn't find a whole lot of photos -- just ended up with some of the NBC promo shots. If you have more of Sendhil, send them our way! hunkdujour {at} g mail {dot} com.
