Heroes gets a Battlestar Galactica cylon

Great news for fans of the fifth cylon from Battlestar Galactica. Kate Vernon who played Ellen Tigh, will be joining the cast of Heroes, and no, it’s not just a rumor.

Greg Grunberg revealed the news that Kate would be taking up a role on the show via his Twitter account a few days ago. There’s no word as yet as to which role Kate will play, but let’s hope it’s a good role deserving of her acting abilities.

Although Heroes has clearly gone downhill over the last few seasons, it’s nice to see that they can still attract good actors to the show. Here’s hoping Kate sticks around for a while, that just might be worth watching.
