(Sidenote: I once had the opportunity to meet Adrian Pasdar and he was dressed just like Nathan. A friend speculated that he simply never leaves home without his trusty suit. It&#8217;s like his Adrian Pasdar Uniform.)<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I guess this means an end to all those moony-eyed Claire\/Peter Petrelli fanfics, right?
