[Dream]

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that both Ray Park and Deanne Bray will play roles in the upcoming season of NBC's "Heroes." They'll be joining newcomers Robert Knepper ("Prison Break") and Madeline Zima ("Californication"):

OMG! Looks like we might get some decent fight scenes on the show!

As someone who works for a station that airs Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye every single frickin' day, the casting of Deanne Bray is horribly awesome. It's a good thing I haven't been able to watch Heroes seriously for the past two years anyways, because it's going to be rather difficult to not crack up every time she's on screen.

Darth Maul, T-Bag, and the jailbait from 'Californication.' Excellent additions.

I'm not familiar with Deanne Bray's work, but I'm sure her superpower (if she's one of the Heroes) will involve something that plays off of her deafness, like taking the enhancement of her other senses to an extreme degree. Not because I think that's a great idea, but because 'Heroes' usually takes the obvious route. Or they'll make her like Banshee with a sonic scream.

If T-Bag is a Hero, I'm almost afraid to ask what his super-power would involve. While having him play a good guy would go against type, he's such an awesome villain that I can't blame them for using him in that way.

They better use Park to do some kickass fights and not tease us like they did with Peter vs. Sylar for three damn seasons.

Is Heroes still going then?

Please. If Ray Park starts into some awesome fight scene it'll be in a garage and then the garage door will shut.

and you'll just hear it from outside while watching a basketball hoop shake.

It is tied with The Office for NBC's top rated show.

How? It's amazingly horrible.

I've never watched The Office, but it can't be as bad as Heroes. Half of the people on this forum could write a better show while drunk.

If I used Madeline Zima for one of my "genre babe of the week" threads, do you think the mods would let me use a memorable scene from the Californication pilot?

[melancholymecha]

I read on another forum

there's supposed to be a sideshow carnival next season & that Knepper is playing the carnie barker who's a villain. Maybe Park will play one of the freaks?

The rest of NBC's lineup is more amazingly horrible.

Hey Heroes is trying. Good for them.

And we frequently do.

They're just lucky they're not No. 5.
