TV Guide Exclusive: Sulu Beams Aboard Heroes
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!'" For much more on this story — including when Hiro's pop materializes, and what sort of schemer he is — pick up the Nov. 27 issue of TV Guide, on newsstands Thursday.
For scoop on this week's big "Homecoming" episode, read our brand-new Features Q&A with Heroes' "Eden," Nora Zehetner. Then, in Wednesday's Interviews & Features column: George Takei!

To put a Star Trek cast member on a sci-fi genre show like this is absolute genius!

IMDB.com just posted that Christopher Ecclestona who is a former (or present, didn't Dr. Who just start coming on again?) cast member from Dr. Who (!) has also just been cast for Heroes. The role that he will be playing is undetermined.

Wade Williams, thanks for posting that information for everyone else.
I don't read Ask Ausiello anymore because I don't want to be spoiled so I had no idea this had already been posted. I'm not going to look at the article, but, I'm guessing that it has way more info than what I posted. Probably some info that I would rather not know?

Oops, forgot to toggle IDs after posting Wade's new blog 
IMDB.com just posted that Christopher Ecclestona... from Dr. Who... has also just been cast for Heroes. The role that he will be playing is undetermined.
Ask Ausiello had this news last Wednesday. Go here for more, it's just a few clicks down, the first Heroes-related item.

Whoever thought of casting George Takei as Hiro's father is a genius! I will be watching out for the date he first airs!!! (I also can't wait to tell my husband. He will be so excited).

I loved him on "Psych" this summer. He is perfect for Hiro's father. Now we need to find Hiro a mama.
