NBC And Heroes Land Kristin Bell For Multi-episode Arc

Variety is reporting that NBC is adding former Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell to the cast of Heroes. NBC has signed Bell for a key multi-episode arc of its sophomore series. Casting is a major coup for NBC since Bell was reportedly being sought for several TV shows, including a part on ABC’s Lost. Bell will make her first Heroes appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.
