The actor adds that he's only signed with the show for half a season and claims, "I have no idea what happens after that. It's a mystery."

Nick D'Agosto Missed From This Week's Heroes

This week's heroes was a recap of everything that happened to our main characters from last season, filling in many unanswered questions. Though it was a great episode, there was one crucial backstory that was left out:

Claires new boyfriend, West - played by our very own Nick D'Agosto, was left out of the episode entirely. This left fans wondering, "Will the writers of the show catch us up on West's past?" If he was bagged and tagged by Claire's father, why was there no flash back to it? How did he learn he could fly? Has he shared the news with anyone else? The writers are leaving too many unanswered questions about this tall, handsome, and mysterious character.

Hopefully they will keep Nick D'Agosto 's character West on the show and not kill his character off the way they killed off DL in this last episode. We can only wait until Monday nite and hope that Nick D'Agosto graces our television sets once more.

Nick D'Agosto Height

Nick D'Agosto obviously towers over his co-star Hayden Panettiere who stands at a mere 5' 1" (1.55 M) tall. Nick stands about a foot taller than Hayden at 6'2 inches.

TV'S HOTTEST SHOW FINALLY GIVES THE CHEERLEADER A BOYFRIEND
By MAXINE SHEN

(Excerpt from New York Post Article)

October 21, 2007 -- The big news this season on NBC's superhero series "Heroes" isn't that Peter Petrelli survived the explosion. Or that Sylar's still alive and killin'. Or even that Hiro Nakamura can't bring himself to leave feudal Japan.
Instead, the hot news is that there's a viable love story involving everybody's favorite indestructible cheerleader and the new guy, West Rosen, played by Nicholas D'Agosto.

While romantic plot lines are dime a dozen on other series, this is the first time that "Heroes" has attempted a relationship that isn't clearly doomed from the start. And Claire isn't slumming: her boyfriend also has his super power. 10 Questions For Heroes

The happy new couple met in 11th grade biology class. Shortly afterwards, West started spending his days aggressively questioning an on-the-lamb Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) about her desire to stay under the radar and literally hovering outside her window at night – some might call it stalking -- trying to see what she was hiding.
So, Nick, is that really an appropriate way to court a girl?
"I can't tell you how many people have told me, 'You're such a weird stalker, I never knew this about you Nick,' " the 27-year old Omaha native says with a laugh. "It's probably not appropriate to do that, but West can do it so easily, why wouldn't he?

"If you could just fly in and take a peek somewhere and fly right out," he muses, "I'd probably do that more often then I think I'd like to admit."
Not that he's ever had any first-hand experience lurking in the bushes outside girls' windows at night, he adds.
"I think what West did was innocent enough, but at the same time, shows that this is a guy who is willing to cross the line of what is appropriate if he feels that it serves his purpose. He's not going to shy away from what he can do," says D'Agosto.
In his case, what he can do is fly.
It's a power he shares with power-denying hero Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar), a fact that has led fans to ponder if West is somehow related - by blood - to the Petrellis.
D'Agosto, who gets to log time in a harness against a blue screen for the first time in his career as he "flies" on the show, is mum about that possibility, saying only, "What's better to look at is what [the flying] means in the larger scheme of 'Heroes.'
"You'll start to see that the people that possess powers are not necessarily the only ones who have those powers. The writers are talking about genetics so much that it would be odd if powers never repeated and that's something being introduced through my character.
"The name of this season is 'Generations' and I think that's very indicative of what the writers are trying to do, which is establish the heritage of what these powers are," D'Agosto says.

Nick D'Agosto's Girlfriend?

Is Nick D'Agosto dating onscreen romantic interest Hayden Panettiere? The two were certainly steaming it up on November 5th's episode of "Heroes" with some on-camera making out: but our sources say that that the spunky blonde cheerleader is not Nick Agosto's Girlfriend: she has been immune to radation and fires, and evidentally immune to Nick's real life charms. Maybe Hayden does share some of the super powers that her on screen character Claire Bennett has become so infamous for. Our sources have confirmed Hayden and Nick are "great friends" in real life with no romantic ties that translate off screen.

This is evident really when you consider the dramatic age difference between the two: Agosto (27) is almost a decade older than his high school counterpart Panettiere. But with his baby face charm and athletic good looks, Agosto has been charming the hearts of teens and women since his "Heroes" debut, even if it isn't Hayden Panettiere.
