How to use hero in a sentence?

He plays a hero in the movies, yet in real life he's not a hero, he's a dirty politician.
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
I met this fellow a month or two ago and he’s a hero of mine and I knew that he was a hero of Chuck [Lorre] and Bill [Prady’s], so I just accosted him and cornered him and practically made him commit on the spot to play my father, i’m really excited about it. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
