Bruce Boxleitner Joins ‘Heroes’

by Debbie

12175993451press582008101753PM I know a lot of people are worried about new characters joining the show after Season 2 shoved so many down our throats, but I must admit I did a major fangirl squee when I heard this news. Bruce Boxleitner, TRON himself, Scarecrow to Mrs. King, is joining the cast of Heroes. TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello says the role will be recurring and reveals that the original plan was to model the character after Senator (and presidential candidate) John McCain. The character has since been reconceived. He will be sharing scenes with a female series regular, but Ausiello is keeping us guessing on just who that might be.

Some of you may remember Bruce as Captain John Sheridan on Babylon 5 during the mid-90’s, or if you’re old like me, from the 1982 flick TRON. He also starred as Lee Stetson on Scarecrow and Mrs. King from 1983 to 1987. I’m really excited to see just what Heroes has in store for him!
