Heroes Adds an X-Girl

The fall television season is still months away, but TPTB over at NBC's Heroes are hard at work on creating season two of the hit series. Next season we'll meet several new characters, but only one has joined the cast as a series regular. After appearing in the film X-Men: The Last Stand (as Callisto) and then nabbing the recurring role of Blanca Selgado (A.J.'s former fiancée) on The Sopranos, actress Dania Ramirez is well on her way to becoming the next big name in Hollywood -- especially now that she has scored a major primetime gig on Heroes. While the details of her character are unknown at the moment, according to The Hollywood Reporter, she will have some sort of extraordinary ability. Perhaps she'll be a new love inerest for Peter Petrelli or Hiro Nakamura.
