According to an interview with Newsarama, the actor William Katt who is best known from the '80s television show The Greatest American Hero will be appearing in a guest starring capacity on the NBC show Heroes. He is playing a reporter that is pursuing Ali Larter's 'Nikki' character (who, given this information, likely survived the explosion that ended last season).

"I just filmed it last week," Katt says. "I play a really, really wonderful, seedy, smarmy-mouthed reporter that goes after Ali Larter. It was a lot of fun."

When comparing Heroes to the superhero show he once starred in, Katt says "It's more Hitchcockian. It's a more dark and seedy look at the world of superheroes. It's offering to television viewers what some of the better comic books do...Tim Kring is just an extraordinary writer. And I think there's no end to his creativity. He's kind of mad, in an insane way. And that always makes it interesting. There are a lot of twists yet to come."

My only question is: will he tell the other heroes where to find the instruction book?
