New “Heroes!”
NBC has announced casting for a whopping six new “Heroes” for next season.
David Anders will join the show as Takezo Kensei, the samurai of legend Hiro talked about often through the first season (it was this guys sword Hiro was after). It is obviously assumed this character will be part of the storyline where Hiro travels to the past, but he may be making the leap to the present as well. Eriko Tamaru will be playing a Japanese princess, probably in the past as well. This may be the love interest role mentioned earlier for Hiro.
Barry Shabaka Henley joins as New York Detective Fuller. Holt McCallany plays Ricky, the leader of an Irish gang. Ricky is believed to have powers, Detective Fuller is unknown.
Lyndsy Fonseca and Dianna Agron join the show as cheerleaders April and Debbie in California where Claire will now be living. Word has it that one of the cheerleaders Claire comes into contact this season will be a lesbian.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HEROES, so I hope adding all these new charachters is a good idea, because I LOVE the old ones (hence why I like the show)!!I guess they are always adding and “Killing” new charachters each show, and some of the main charachters are now dead, but I don’t want anything to happen to the ones that were left alive last season (even though we don’t exactly know who “THEY” are?!?!?!)!!!!I guess as long as Claire/Peter/Hiro/the cop??/Sheresh(no idea on sp?)/Nicki and family stay, I will be happy!
