Heroes

Sark!!! He can kill Syler.

Interesting casting, I'm taking it with a grain of salt though. Sark joining the cast would be almost too good to be true. Its like they're getting the best from every show I love first Dr. Who now Alias all they need is to bring over a few people from Lost or Buffy and I wont have to watch any other television shows...

And gasp anti-Sylar sentiment I think Zach Quinto is a good actor, Sylar is a very over the top character so there is alot of classic black hat stuff that he has to do but I really like his scenes when he's just Gabriel. That whole episode with his mother was really heartbreaking.

Of course I am biased on this subject

I also think Zachary Quinto is a good actor. I just have to watch one of his interviews to find out he isn't scary in real life, lol. And yes, he changes a lot when he's Gabriel and when he's Sylar.

The one who doesn't convince me much as an actress is Hayden Panettiere, but everybody seems to like her.

Any guesses on new powers?

I see that too. I hate Sylar, but I have to give Zachary the props for playing the role, because it is pretty hard to be that evil and scary and cool and emotion-less all at once.

The one who doesn't convince me much as an actress is Hayden Panettiere, but everybody seems to like her.

I didn't really like her early in the series, but when she was taken away from her dad when his memory was taken away by the Haitian--and she started crying, it seemed so real. I think she's a pretty great actress.

Any guesses on new powers?

I bet someone else has an element-changing power... like the guy before who could melt metal rofl: He's on CSI!)

I think Sylar will redeem himself and convert to the good side eventually. There's supposed to be a character that's more evil than him. In one of the episodes, Molly said she was scared of someone because they could see her when she was looking at them! Some people think it might be Mama Petrelli.

As for new powers, I honestly can't think of any except for weather (like Storm from X-Men).

More Casting News

A half-dozen new (albeit in some cases familiar) faces to watch for on the new season of Heroes, per the Hollywood Reporter:

• David Anders (Alias' delicious Sark) will play Takezo Kensei, an ancient samurai warrior and Hiro's childhood hero. Kensei, of course, is the original owner of the sword Hiro sought during much of Season 1.

• In a related story line, Asian pop star Eriko Tamura has been cast as a Japanese princess. Tamura has starred in more than 15 Japanese features and TV series and has released 10 albums there. She made her English-language debut in the 2006 feature "Surf School."

• Barry Shabaka Henley is Detective Fuller, a New York police officer.

• Holt McCallany is Ricky, the ringleader of a group of Irish thugs.

• Lyndsy Fonseca (Ted's future-daughter on How I Met Your Mother) and Dianna Agron (Veronica Mars) are cheerleaders, one sweet, one tart, in a Southern California town to which Claire is expected to move.

That is ALOT of money to pay for new actors. I'd like to see focus on main characters and not a whole hodgepodge of new people.

David Anders (Alias' delicious Sark) will play Takezo Kensei

A Caucasian guy is playing a samurai?

 

[MomentsHaveYou]

Not all the new people are regulars, though. The bit about David playing Takeoz Kensei makes no sense because he's supposed to be Japanese! I definitely think that's wrong information, I heard a rumour that he's supposed to be a villian

And Eriko Tamura stole Miss Japan's role?

 

[Ksanochka Vanmra]

I thought Kensei was Hiro's father, and that he had the power of being immortal or something like that.

And I agree with you, eternitygoddess, there must be a mistake with that actor.

 

[youarearockstar]

^That's the impression that I got as well. It seemed to me that Hiro's father would be Kensei, I can't imagine how Sark would be able to play that character. Not to mention that the first report stated that he would play a character named Kane, who is seemingly immortal. Perhaps the similarity in power description and "assumed" powers of Hiro's dad/Kensei caused the confusion.

Speaking of... Sark! Words alone cannot describe how excited that makes me. I was such an Alias fan years back...the more Sark the better!

Also, I'm really not worried about this influx of character news. When you think about it, there were just as many secondary/one-episode characters who served only to develop the plot of that particular episode. I think these actors are just getting more press about it since the show was such a huge success. Though, I'm excited to see the addiction of Dania Ramirez as the only true addition to lead characters at this point. There are really only two lead females (Claire and Nikki) so it will be nice to see another strong female lead.

Some of these people are going to be playing in the spinoff, Heroes: Origins.

i just read that Lyndsy jumped on the ship of Desperate Housewives, so her character in Heroes S2 has been cancelled.

Haha, I was just about to post those but thank you.
Spoilerish-talk: Sheesh. Claire's going to a new school, hence the new cheerleading outfit! AHHHHH SYLAR IS GOING TO BE A REGULAR. I'm scared.
