HEROES Casting: KRISTEN BELL
Posted by: Ducky in Casting, Ducky Does TV, Heroes, Kristen BellWHA WHA WHA WHA WHAT? OMG, Veronica Mars herself, KRISTEN BELL has been cast in a multi-episode arc on HEROES! I swear to god my first instinct was to go from door to door: “Good Morning, Kristen Bell was cast on Heroes” Next door: “Good Morning, Kristen Bell was cast on Heroes” And the next: “Good Morning, Kristen Bell was cast on Heroes”
Just to think, I coulda had a V8!
According to Variety, Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.
“This was not easy to pull off,” said “Heroes” creator-executive producer Tim Kring. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell’s) schedule.”
Ducky’s Uncontained Thoughs: I’m FREAKING OUT right now, freaking out! I guess Lost’s loss is Heroes gain! The world is in order today! It is. Thanks Mel for sending me this first!

Imagine KBell and David Anders? Hot! We all know that KBell and Sylar are already friends in real life so I hope and don’t hope that they interact. No Sylaring Kristen Bell please! Leave t hat pretty little head in one piece.

Holy Crikey! I didn’t think about Bell and Anders together. Except they seem like they’ll be on different time planes initially so I’m not sure how that’d work. Still, I can’t be happier!!!

Just awesome news. I can see her fitting in better with Heroes than Lost. And what does “a small window in her schedule mean?” What else does she have planned??

This is the best TV news I’ve heard in ages! I’d much rather see KB on Heroes than Lost, because at least she’ll have lines and screen time on Heroes… guest starts on Lost don’t seem to get a lot of actual scenes. I can’t wait for the season to start!

HOLY mofo! How frigging excited am I about this news! Here I was thinking that I would have to go a full year w/out seeing KBell on the tube. I can’t contain my giddyness… I may need to let out a Mary scream!
