Apparently unaware of how much of a trainwreck Heroes has become, former Battlestar Galactica star Kate Vernon will soon join the cast.

Not much is known about the character she'll portray, but Greg Grunberg revealed this tidbit in a Twitter post yesterday:

"Kate Vernon from BSG is now on Heroes - can't wait for you guys to see her," he wrote.

The 48-year-old is best known for her role of Ellen Tight on Battlestar Galactica. She's also appeared on CSI and The Mentalist.

Samuel Sullivan's carnival is about to grow.

Todd Stashwick has landed a recurring role on Heroes. He'll play a character named Eli that is part of the show's traveling, shady carnival storyline. Eli will have close ties to Robert Knepper's Samuel.

Tessa Thompson debuted this week on the series as Becky, another member of Samuel's evil group.

Over the last year, Stashwich has guest-starred on Supernatural and The Mentalist, among other shows.

Andrew Connolly is coming aboard season four of Heroes.

The actor - who played a monk on an episode of Lost - will play the brother of Robert Kneppter's character, Samuel Sullivan.

Samuel will be a significant character on the new volume of the series, as he'l be the ringleader of a traveling carnival that recruits individuals with unique powers for a mysterious purpose.
