Report: Arrest Warrant for Hayden Panettiere in Japan
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2007 01:00 PM EST

By Tim Nudd
An arrest warrant has been issued in Japan for Hayden Panettiere, the Heroes star says in an interview.

"I learned today that I have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan because of what I did for Save the Whales," Panettiere, 18, is quoted as telling E! News.

Late last month, the actress-activist participated with others in a confrontation with fisherman during a dolphin hunt.

Asked what the repercussions might be from the warrant, Panettiere said, "Potentially jail, but I doubt it. ... I guess they could come here and get us, but probably not."

On Oct. 30, Panettiere joined other activists in paddling on surfboards into a cove near Taiji in southwestern Japan, in an attempt to interfere with a dolphin hunt there. The incident drew worldwide attention when video of it – including footage of Panettiere weeping on shore after being turned back – reached the Internet.

Would Do It Again
Panettiere said the arrest warrant does not faze her. "I'd do it again," she said of the protest. "Very possibly, might do it again."

The actress added that the personal risks involved paled in comparison to the potential good that could come from the activists' actions.

"I was very excited that people were interested in what we did," she said. "In [Hollywood], you tend to only get publicity for not wearing underwear or going to rehab."

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO. "It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook. But in the end all we really worried about was the dolphins. It was so incredibly sad. We were so close to them and they were sky hopping, jumping out of the water to see us. One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and kinda looked at me and the thought that it's no longer with us is really hard to take."

"I make lists of names. I'm constantly talking to agents to see who's available, who's not available, who's considering TV this year. Meeting with actors, looking at tapes. Always putting together ideas."

Hirschfeld and his staff of a dozen attend film festivals and comedy clubs, troll the Internet and even monitor podcasts.

They also draw on a long memory.

Hirschfeld tells of a child actress he cast in a pilot that didn't sell five or six years ago. He kept his eye on her career after that. Flash forward to early 2006, with the casting for "Heroes" under way.

"When they were trying to decide who the cheerleader should be, I literally picked up the phone and said to the producers, 'You got to meet Hayden Panettiere,' " he recalls.

This year's Emmy presenters will include a mix of former winners, current nominees and people who deserved recognition but didn't get it.

Among the snubbed was Kyle Chandler of NBC's "Friday Night Lights." But he will present. So, too, will Hayden Panettiere of "Heroes" -- her cheerleader character helped save a network (NBC).
