3. He’s a big supporter of the troops.
During Heroes, he took time off to visit in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait for a USO tour; he works with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), and helped it launch a PSA campaign in 2009 titled “Support Your Vet.”

4. He has dead nerves in his lower lip, resulting in a perfectly imperfect smile.
Yes, he actually has dead nerves in his lip, which was just one of the things that made him perfect to play Rocky’s son in Rocky Balboa. “I thought if Rocky and Adrian had a child, (Milo) would be a perfect offspring,” Sylvester Stallone said, as he has the same condition, giving him a “crooked mouth.”

5. He has an adorable bromance with Jack Coleman.
They starred in Heroes together, so it’s not surprising but they actually still have quite the bond, uniting at conventions, and showing each other love on social media.
