Heroes: ORIGINAL series News/discussion/articles & more
Variety has revealed two more Season 2 casting announcements.
Dianna Agron, who has made appearances on Veronica Mars and Shark, will be playing a cheerleader, while Dominic Keating of Star Trek: Enterprise fame will be playing an Irish mobster.
It's an interview with some of the powers that has fan questions (including a couple by YOURS TRULY!!) and other neat stuff about the coming season.
See, unlike Lost, Heroes fans actually get some kind of chance to get their important questions answered. (Grumble, grumble, dumb Lost podcast, grumble)
So check it out! There are a ton of interviews from earlier in the year too which may have some cool info as well.

Pittsburgh native to play Spock in new "Star Trek"
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Rob Owen, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- E! Online is reporting what has been rumored since a Post-Gazette interview last year with Pittsburgh native Zachary Quinto: He's been cast as Spock in the new "Star Trek" movie. (He also discussed the possibility in a May podcast.)
Quinto plays the villain Sylar on NBC's "Heroes," and last week NBC Universal Television Studios president Katherine Pope told the Post-Gazette that if Quinto got the "Star Trek" job, the studio would find a way to work out schedules so he can do both. It would be a benefit to both "Heroes" and "Star Trek," so that makes sense. Quinto's been listed as the rumored actor for the Spock part on his IMDB page for some time.
Quinto's casting also makes sense in a "six degrees of separation" way. Quinto stars in "Heroes" with Greg Grunberg, who starred on "Alias," which was created by J.J. Abrams, who is producing and directing the new "Star Trek" film.
This afternoon I left a message for Quinto, but haven't heard back. I'll be on the set of "Heroes" tomorrow and he's expected to be there. E! is reporting that Quinto's contract is "with the business affairs team at Paramount, which is generally considered the last stop on the deal-negotiation train. The deal only awaits sign-off from outside counsel."

Sylar from 'Heroes' thisclose to playing 'Star Trek's' Spock
Set phasers to stunned!
In a development sure to send nerd brains nationwide into overdrive, E!Online reporter Korbi Ghosh is reporting that Zachary Quinto, best known as the evil genius Sylar on "Heroes," is close to signing on the bottom line to be Spock in the upcoming "Star Trek" feature film.
"A source confirmed that the contract is with the business affairs team at Paramount, which is generally considered the last stop on the deal-negotiation train," according to a Monday press release from E!Online.com.
Wait! An actor from “Heroes” on “Star Trek”? The geek mind reels. Surely those eagerly awaiting Comic-Con, the giant sci-fi, film and comics convention this weekend in San Diego, are all in a tizzy over the news.
Lucky for me, I’m going to Comic-Con (for the first time, and I’m already geeking out in anticipation) and you can be sure I’ll try to shove myself into the room where the “Heroes” cast will be talking about the second season of the show. Perhaps Quinto will discuss his new gig as well, you never know.
At some point I hope to write about many of these programs, but first let's talk "Heroes," returning for its second season on Sept. 24. I was on the set yesterday morning, but I couldn't get Pittsburgh native Zach Quinto to discuss his casting as Spock in the new "Star Trek" movie (with his connection to director J.J. Abrams through "Heroes" co-star Greg Grunberg -- Abrams and Grunberg are friends who worked together on "Alias" -- it seems like the stars have aligned; maybe Paramount will officially announce Quinto's casting in San Diego this weekend at Comic-Con), I did get some hints about the second season of "Heroes." Clues, more than outright spoilers, follow.
