Robert Knepper is New Heroes Villain

Robert Knepper


The Hollywood Reporter says Robert Knepper has been cast as the new lead villain in Heroes. He will play a charismatic Jim Jones type of character for at least six episodes in season 4.
In at least six episodes of the series' fourth season, Knepper will play Samuel, a Jim Jones type -- charismatic but evil, with a twisted sense of humor -- who will veer into the lives of all heroes. The character had been referred to as "Carnival Barker" in the series breakdown released last month.

"Heroes" is slated to return in the fall for a "Lost"-style all-original run in a new time slot at 8 p.m. on Mondays. The sci-fi drama -- which enjoys a strong online following -- will share its time period with another fan favorite, "Chuck," which will take over in midseason.

Production on the UMS-produced "Heroes" is scheduled to begin later this week.
He sounds like an interesting villain. We are very glad Chuck is returning as well.
