The cast for Heroes' second season keeps on expanding. NBC has hired no less than six actors for recurring roles, including Alias' David Anders and Japanese pop star and actress Eriko Tamura. Barry Shabaka Henley, Holt McCallany, Lyndsy Fonseca and Dianna Agron are the other additions.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on which characters these six actors will play:
Anders will play the most intriguing part, that of the ancient samurai warrior Takezo Kensei, Hiro Nakamura's (Masi Oka) childhood hero. While never seen during "Heroes' " first season, Kensei played a key part in the show's plot. Hiro spent most of the season trying to get ahold of Kensei's sword, which he hoped would help him in his quest to save the world.
In another Japanese connection, Tamura will play a Japanese princess.
Henley will play Detective Fuller, a New York police officer. McCallany will play Ricky, the ringleader of a group of Irish thugs.
Fonseca and Agron will play beautiful cheerleaders in Southern California, where Claire (Hayden Panettiere) is expected to move. Fonseca's character April is sweet, while Agron's Debbie is a mean girl.
