My Secret Identity

Predefinição:Info/Filme/Wikidata My Secret Identity (adaptado no Brasil como Herói Por Acaso) foi um programa de TV produzido no Canadá, e estreou nos Estados Unidos no dia 9 de outubro de 1988, tendo 72 episódios de meia hora, com 3 temporadas.

A história

Herói por acaso mostrava a vida de Andrew Clement, jovem estudante de 14 anos de Dakota do Norte, apaixonado por quadrinhos, que ganhou superpoderes devido a um acidente com um experimento de seu atrapalhado amigo cientista, o Dr. Benjamim Jeffcoat. Andrew passa a série inteira a usar secretamente seus poderes em tarefas corriqueiras e também a fim de ajudar pessoas. A única pessoa a saber dos poderes de Andrew era o próprio Dr. Jeffcoat. Embora não usasse um uniforme, Andrew fantasiava acordado às vezes, intitulando-se de "Ultraman" (embora que nada tivesse a ver com o verdadeiro Ultraman, herói de séries japonesas).

Os poderes de Andrew

Andrew tinha super velocidade, invulnerabilidade, e podia flutuar (ele tinha que usar sprays para poder se locomover no ar). Foi demonstrado em um episódio que raios-x desativam temporariamente os poderes.

Elenco

• Jerry O'Connell as Andrew Clements
• Derek McGrath as Dr. Benjamin Marion Jeffcoate
• Christopher Bolton as Kirk Stevens (1989-1991)
• Marsha Moreau as Erin Clements
• Wanda Cannon as Stephanie Clements
• Elizabeth Leslie as Ruth Schellenbach

Curiosidade

A série, embora possa parecer ingênua, catapultou a carreira de Jerry O' Connell, que só havia participado até então do filme Conta comigo, quando tinha 11 anos.
