It has been reported by TV Guide that veteran actor Bruce Boxleitner (better known to Sci-Fi fans as John Sheridan from Babylon 5) has landed a secret recurring role on Heroes.
This role was going to be modeled after Senator John McCain, but has since has been reconceived. It has now been reported that this character will be sharing scenes with a female series regular.
This news, in addition to previous Heroes casting news, would lead one to believe that this would be a repeat of season 2’s onslaught of new characters. But it has been reported that the primary focus will be on the “core characters from the pilot.”
