Micah Sanders, Niki's son
Ten-year-old Noah Gray-Cabey joins NBC's new ensemble drama series "Heroes" as Micah Sanders, a young genius whose mother is an online stripper and whose father is serving life in prison. Gray-Cabey was a series regular on ABC's "My Wife & Kids," playing the precocious Franklin. Recently, he guest-starred on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Ghost Whisperer." He also has a supporting role in M. Night Shyamalan's highly anticipated film "Lady in the Water." A trained classical pianist by the age of three, Gray-Cabey is the youngest person ever to perform at the Sydney Opera Hall. In 2001, he participated in fundraising concerts to benefit AIDS orphanages. After the events of September 11th, Gray-Cabey, with the help of his father, Shawn, and his mother, Whitney, organized a concert in Portland, Maine, to raise money for Afghan children who were displaced by the Taliban's civil unrest. As a result, "48 Hours" did a piece on Gray-Cabey's altruistic nature and piano talents. Soon after, he was featured on "The Tonight Show," "Dateline," "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Good Morning America," which led to his being cast on "My Wife & Kids." Gray-Cabey is determined to use his talents to make a real influence in the world. He has formed a foundation called "Action in Music" that broadens the horizons of inner city children by bringing them to Africa to visit AIDS victims. His birthday is November 16.

Re: Micah
The kid needs to go. I'm tired of him. He contributes nothing whatsoever to the show and is only going to irritate me week after week. He's a weak imitation of Lost's Walt.

So, how do you think Niki's kid knew what she did for a living and where? I'm assuming he found out by being on the internet. If he saw her website, he would recognize the garage where she filmed it so that's how he would know where she worked. How would he even know about her site, though? Lots of ways. Kids talk and one of his classmates might have an older brother who saw the site and was like "Hey kid, isn't that your mom?". He might have heard her mention it in conversation to someone. Who knows? He doesn't seem to be all that concerned that his mom strips online. I think when I was little if I had found out something like that about my mom I would have been angry (wtf???!!!), embarrassed, concerned about her safety, something. I wouldn't casually mention that I'm aware of it. I'd probably either pretend I didn't know or confront her about it.

That kid has an old soul. I still think he may be an integral part of this show.
