If you’re a total Veronica Mars nerd like I am, then this is some great casting news. Francis Capra (aka Weevil) is set to play a role on the upcoming season of Heroes. Even better? According to E! Online, he has at least one scene with Veronica—er, Elle (Kristin Bell). Capra plays a Jesse Murphy, “a thug who runs a gang of two-bit criminals.” Hmm, that sounds kind of familiar…
One difference between the thug he played on Veronica Mars and the thug he’s playing on Heroes is something that you can easily guess—Jesse Murphy has a power. We don’t know what his power is or how he’ll unleash it, but we’ll find out quickly; Capra is only signed on for three episodes of Heroes’ third season.
More info on the third season includes a long-lost relative making a surprise comeback (I’m hearing that Jessalyn Gilsig has signed on to reprise her role as Claire’s biological mama) and more Petrelli/Bennet-centered storylines. Heroes’ truncated second season didn’t really do much for me, but it sounds like producers are listening to the fans and trying to bring what we loved about season one into season three. As far as I’m concerned, the casting of any former VM castmembers is a great start.
