Heroes News : More Links Between "Heroes" and "Star Trek"

First George Takei (Sulu) joined the cast of "Heroes", then Zachary Quinto (Sylar) joined the cast of the upcoming "Star Trek" movie. Ok that makes two Trekie ties, but wait ... there's more.

Uhura is beaming aboard as well. Nichelle Nichols who played Uhura in the original "Star Trek" series will be joining her cast-mate George Takei. Nichols will have a recurring role on the show, appearing in five or six episodes.

Quote:

Nichols' addition to the show was already hinted at recently by Heroes creator Tim Kring, when he told E! Online he was looking "for another face that will have a very similar impact" to genre fans as the casting of Takei did.

Now, try and wrap your head around this. Ando as a young Sulu. Oh you heard me right. This snip from IESB:

Quote:

As we spoke with James, he said he would love to play the role of Hikaru Sulu that was made legendary by actor George Takei. At first I thought that he was kidding a bit, but by the end of the interview, it appears that he was quite serious about trying to reach out the Abrams camp.

Ok so that last one is a bit of a long shot, but hey that's what they said about Zachary Quinto as Spock... at first.
