So it had been rumored for some time that Kristen Bell, star of Veronica Mars would be joining the cast of Lost. This turns out is not the case. Instead she will appear in a number of Heroes episodes according to Variety.
Bell will play the role of Elle who is involved in Claire’s future and is also connected to Peter and H.R.G. Her character will start to appear in the show in October.
“This was not easy to pull off,” show creator Tim Kring told Variety. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in her schedule.”

Dania Ramirez who played Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand is to join the cast of NBC’s hit SF drama Heroes when the show returns for a second season in the fall, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
So far all that is known about Ramirez’ character is her name; Maya. Hey powers are currently being kept under wraps.
Maya is one of four to five new characters expected to be added to Heroes next season, but her character might be the only regular one, the trade paper reported.
The other roles, most of which are said to have international flavor, include a boyfriend for the indestructible Claire, a 28-year-old black mother, a surrogate for Niki’s (Ali Larter) son and an Irish mobster.
