Heroes Rings Mars' Bell
Former Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell is joining the cast of NBC's Heroes for a multi-episode arc, Variety reported.
Bell was reportedly being sought for several TV gigs, including a part on ABC's Lost, the trade paper reported.
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 (Milo Ventimiglia), the past of H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and the future of Claire (Hayden Panettiere). Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, although it's unclear whether she's good or bad.
Bell co-stars in the Weinstein Co.'s upcoming Star Wars-themed movie Fanboys. (NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)
