New 'Heroes' revealed for second season

Former Star Trek: Enterprise star Dominic Keating will join the cast of hit show Heroes for its upcoming second season, according to reports.

Variety state that Keating will play an Irish villain with special powers and will be joined by actress Dianna Agron, who featured in the recently axed cult drama Veronica Mars. Agron is set to play a cheerleader in the show alongside Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennet.

The two actors will join David Anders on the sophomore season of the acclaimed series, set to be screened on BCC Two later in the summer. Anders, who will reportedly play a 1,000 year old man called Kane, is famed for his role as the devious, womanising terrorist Sark on Alias.
