Darth Hero

Following on fast from the news that Madeline Zima and Robert Knepper are joining the cast of Heroes in its fourth season come more casting revelations from Entertainment Weekly.

Apparently, Ray Park, the stunt man turned actor who played Darth Maul (his body anyway not his voice*) in The Phantom Menace and Toad in X-Men, will be playing “one of the colorful characters at the centre of the show's Carnivale-esque storyline. (My guess? He's the character described in the breakdowns as ‘Knife Thrower‘)” says EW’s Mike Ausiello.

Also, Deanne Bray (from The L Word) is “nearing a deal” to come on board for multiple episodes as “a deaf love interest for one of the main Heroes”.

* A special no prize to the first person to name the actor who supplied his voice (we were just too lazy to look up how to spell it)

Peter Serafinowicz! Loved the episode of Spaced where he did Darth Maul!

Nath1976, you are a winner. You have earned a small but very important place in SFX history. (Yeah, I'm going overboard to disguise the fact there ain’t no prize)

Oh go on then; Peter Serafinowicz and that's without looking it up so the spelling might not be 100%...

Bad luck, Wyngarde! Let's have a look at you would have won (hmm, it's amazingly similar to what the winner did win)

Sorry, that "Damn!" was me, forgot to put my name on it. Just missed out on the no-prize!
