Latest on Heroes Season 4 Casting Call
Looks like the casting auditions for Heroes Season 4 are going out fast and furious, with a new round of characters currently up for grabs for all you actors and actresses out there. Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly previously told us that the show was looking for a 20-something hearing impaired female character that will show up in the season’s fourth episode, and today they have a new round of casting calls for you to take in.
Via EW, Ausiello says that the show will start to resemble HBO’s Carnivale, which I’ve never seen:
Wanna know what Season 4 of Heroes is gonna be like?
Go back and watch Carnivàle.
Based on the casting breakdowns that are making the rounds in Hollywood, it seems safe to say that the creatively resurgent NBC drama’s new volume, “Redemption,” will bear more than a passing resemblance to the much-missed HBO show.
Besides a Knife Thrower and a sexy, twentysomething Tattoo Girl, Heroes is on the hunt for a middle-aged Eddie Izzard type to play the Carnival Barker, a smooth operator with a wicked wit. This character, I hear, will start small and grow. (Not grow as in grow-into-World’s-Tallest-Man grow, but grow nonetheless.)
In addition, the series is searching for its own Ellen Page to play Claire’s (Hayden Panettiere) quirky college roommate, and a stalwart — think Andre Braugher — for the role of Matt’s (Greg Grunberg) partner… and mentor.
So, Claire’s going to college?
Also, I would actually love to see Andre Braugher on the show. I know that the article mentions an Andre Braugher-type, but what’s Andre doing now, anyway? Get him on the show, guys.
