Jessalyn Gilsig
With the television series, Heroes, growing in popularity, NBC has been left seeking for even more Heroes. Though moving quick, the network has recently added two unbelievably cool additions to the series.
Heroes Gets Jessalyn Gilsig and George Takei
According to Variety, reposted at SHH, Jessalyn Gilsig will appear on Heroes as a new character. Whether her character is super is yet to be known, but we are told that she will have a multi-episode arc on the show. Since 'heroes' seem to be springing up everywhere, I guess we should assume that she possesses some super-ability.
To take the show's cool factor to all new heights, NBC has found just the actor to play Hiro's father. In what couldn't seem like a more perfect fit, Star Trek's Sulu, George Takei, will play father to the Star Trek loving character.
As exclusively reported by TV Guide magazine, none other than George Takei has been cast as the father of Heroes' Star Trek-obsessed Hiro. "It was one of those lightning-bolt ideas," series creator Tim Kring tells TV Guide. Adds Masi Oka, who plays Hiro, "This is absolutely brilliant! I just hope I get to say, 'Dad! Sulu is my hero, not you!'"
That's the latest on Heroes. Be sure to check out the Episode 9: Homecoming recap that gives away Sylar's identity; just in case you wanted to know what young actor was playing him.
