Heroes

Get ready to grow attached to a handful of new Heroes.

We've already reported that Dania Ramirez and Nick D'Agosto will be joining the show in the fall. Meanwhile, TV Guide now tells us to lookout for these series newcomers in season two, as well:

• David Anders (Alias‘ Sark) will play Takezo Kensei, an ancient samurai warrior and Hiro's childhood hero. Kensei, of course, is the original owner of the sword Hiro sought during much of season one.
• Asian pop star Eriko Tamura has been cast as a Japanese princess.
• Barry Shabaka Henley will portray Detective Fuller, a New York police officer.
• Holt McCallany is Ricky, the ringleader of a group of Irish thugs.
• Lyndsy Fonseca (Ted's future-daughter on How I Met Your Mother) and Dianna Agron (pictured) are cheerleaders, one sweet, one tart, in a Southern California town to which Claire is expected to move.
