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.
