Dania Ramirez, who played Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand and has a recurring role on "The Sopranos," has been added as a regular on the NBC's hit series "Heroes." The show returns for a second season in the fall.
Ramirez will play Maya, a new hero whose powers are being kept under wraps.
"Heroes" extends Ramirez's relationship with NBC. This past development season, she co-starred in the network's drama pilot "Fort Pit."
Maya is one of four to five new characters expected to be added to "Heroes" next season, but her character might be the only regular one. The other roles, most of which are said to have international flavor, include a sexy boyfriend for Claire (Hayden Panettiere), a 28-year-old black mother, a surrogate for Niki's (Ali Larter) son and an Irish mobster.

Dania Ramirez ... so pretty! I really liked her as Callisto in X3, and was pissed when she bit it, so it'll be awesome to see her playing anothermutant special metahuman um, hero (what are the people with abilities called on this show anyway?)
If Ramirez is playing a character that is totally badass like Callisto, Larter is going to have some competition for thumpingist female cast member!
a sexy boyfriend for Claire
Whatever. I'm already slashing Claire with the new gay cheerleader, April. So you can shove your 'sexy boyfriend for Claire' in a sock, mister!
a surrogate for Niki's (Ali Larter) son
This confuses me however. [Overly dramatic voice]I ... don't ... under ... stand![/ODV]

The surrogate confuses/scares me too.
Yay! I am not alone!

Date: 2007-06-02 05:23 am (UTC)GUH! I have missed Dania making out with a chick? You must, MUST tell me where I can find this. Missing Dania making out with a chick makes baby jesus cry ... you know, if baby jesus was a 25 year old, black girl.
but nothing compares to her scene w/ kerry washington in "she hate" me...it made the kitchen my all time favorite room in the house...(dreamy sigh)...
A thing of beauty and the only redeeming quality of that movie (well, that and that Monica Bellucci was in it. *dreamy sigh* Monica Bellucci) Damn, now you're making me want to watch "She Hate Me" again, and that's just cruel. *goes to youtube*

Date: 2007-06-02 05:29 am (UTC)I like the idea of Jessica taking over someone else, but I couldn't see her taking Micah away from Niki. Niki and Jessica seemed to be getting along pretty well at the end of the season, so I don't think Jessica would do that to her. It could be a "Micah has two mommies" type of deal though, which would be cool ... and gay!
Hey, if Jess does take over someone, there's more possible Niki / Jess - they aren't my favorite pair, but a lot of other people seem to like 'em.
I have to admit this is why I'm totally on board with the idea of Jessica possessing someone else. I love my Nessica, but it's hard writing for people in the same body.
Gawd, I gotta catch up to this show
Yes, yes you must. :D

Crazier things have happened. Like *two* female cast members actually interacting!! With each other!! Yeah, I know, that's just crazy talk but a girl can dream can't she?
