Casting News: Everwood’s Justin Baldoni Comes to Heroes
EW’s Michael Ausiello reports that Justin Baldoni, who played Reid Bardem on the WB’s Everwood, is joining the cast of Heroes as Alex, a Southern California surfer dude who works at a comic book store (Perhaps the same comic book store that Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are rumored to work at?).

Baldoni is scheduled to appear in at least two episodes of the "Fugitives" volume, which is filming now. The fourth volume debuts after the first of the year. Our friends over at The ODI have posted a few photos of Baldoni filming scenes with Hayden Panettiere. Here are a few. You can check the link for more (click to enlarge).

I’m willing to see what this looks like on screen before I say one way or another whether it’s a good thing.
