Heroes has cast a new villain for the upcoming season (this Fall), one that Prison Break fans will recognize.
Robert Knepper (aka T-Bag from Prison Break) will be playing the roll of ‘Samuel’. In the the season breakdown this is how the character was described:
40s-60s, male. Charming character with an evil sense of humor, think Eddie Izzard or The Joker without his makeup …minimal at first… to become large recur RECURRING GUEST STAR/THIS ROLE WILL BE IN SEVERAL EPISODES
I wish that I still watched heroes as I really think Knepper has a knack for playing the villian type. So much so that I think it may end up being a typecast thing for him, but since so many villian roles exist I do not think that is such a bad thing.
