Out of all the strong women she has portrayed, it seems as though Niki Saunders in Heroes stuck out to Larter. The actor starred in the first three seasons before being killed off, only to return as her character's sister Tracy Strauss in the final season. "What I think is so incredible is that I feel stimulated creatively, and we took a lot of risks on the show in the first season," Larter told IGN during the series' second season. "But to have this appeal, on this global level, is extraordinary. It's extraordinary that we really touched a chord."
Heroes wasn't Larter's only foray into television. In 2014, she starred opposite Sean Bean in the TNT drama Legends as Crystal McGuire (via Showbiz Junkies). Describing her time on the show, Larter said, "From being on Heroes where we were doing 24 episodes, I think it's really difficult to keep the stories up to the level that is riveting, that the audience deserves."
Legend upheld itself on this front, according to the actor. "When you take something like this, there's really a chance to keep it tight where the writers can get really specific and layer things in. So that's something I was excited about."
