Stephen Tobolowsky Is the Face of Evil on the New Season of ‘Heroes’
There are plenty of wonderful tidbits revealed in today’s Entertainment Weekly cover story previewing the new season of Heroes: Hiro gets to romance a Japanese princess. The super-baddie hinted at in last season’s finale will be revealed in episode five. There’ll be a Katrina story line, which frankly makes us nervous. But the best news of all — even better than the additions of Veronica Mars and Sark to the cast — is that the new head of the mysterious hero project, for which Claire’s dad used to work, will be played by Stephen Tobolowsky.
Yes, Stephen Tobolowsky: patron saint of character actors; foreword writer of Adam Sternbergh’s book, Hey! It’s That Guy!; the dude from Entourage and Deadwood and ten million other shows; Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day. Stephen Tobolowsky! Now that is some excellent casting.
