Brea Grant Joins Heroes Cast
According to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello an actress named Brea Grant is joining the cast of Heroes next season. Her power is super speed - lightning-fast, like the Flash. She’s a real trouble maker, described as one of the villains in season 3.
Before landing this role on Heroes, she starred in three episodes of NBC’s Friday Night Lights as Jean Binnel. She also guest starred in a recent episode of Cold Case and appeared in a few movies.
More on casting [ via TVGuide ]
“Sources confirm to me exclusively that the enchanting Brea Grant — who made quite the impression as Landry’s short-lived rebound girl on Friday Night Lights — is joining the cast of Heroes next season as The Speedster.
As you’ll recall, last month I reported that Heroes was casting the role of Joy, who’s “quick on her feet — and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble.”
You can read more about her powers and discuss them in our previous post [ New Volume 3 Villain Revealed ].
Thanks to our friend The ODI for the heads up!

I’m in love with this show. Season two was good .. it wasn’t “great”, but it wasn’t completely horrible. In the sense that we kind of needed that little segment, if you will, to move us along to part three. Peter has his memory back, and he’s reunited with his brother .. while other questions have aroused for many of the other heroes, the show needed the second season to by us sometimes, to basicly explain the Peter and Nathan inccodent that closed season 1. Let’s give Tim Kring some more credit, he even knows it wasn’t the best, but I think under the circumstances it underwent with the writters strike and all, the second season turned out pretty good. With that said .. Hurry the hell up with season three already!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!
But wasn’t the other chick not having the same power??
i read somewhere that she will play the “Speedster” called Daphne and not Joy and she will also be Hiro’s nemesis
Before she was on Heroes, Brea Grant was a character on the online TV series “The Writer’s Room”. Check out her episode at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_dT5XZyB20
