Heroes Season 3 Casting News: Another ‘Veronica Mars’ Alum Joins the Cast

by Debbie Ford

3117007451press610200885046AM TV Guide is reporting that Francis Capra is joining the cast in the recurring role of Jesse. Not much is being revealed about Jesse at this point, but he is believed to be one of the many villains we will see in Season 3. According to the report, his storyline will somehow involve Peter Petrelli.

Veronica Mars fans will remember Capra as tough guy Eli “Weevil” Navarro. He also starred in 1993’s A Bronx Tale, and guest starred on episodes of Friday Night Lights, Criminal Minds, The Closer, Judging Amy and Without a Trace. He also had a recurring role on American Dreams as Palladino.

Will we see a reunion of Veronica and Weevil? Well, Kristen Bell’s return has not been confirmed but it is believed that she will be back as the slightly-left-of-center Elle. So it’s quite possible that we could see them sharing screen time together.
