Takei is new "Hero"

COMICON.com PULSE: Jennifer Contino reports:

Today, NBC hosted a press conference to discuss George Takei's new role on Heroes as the father of the time-bending Hiro Nakamura, Kaito Nakamura.

Takei, who most people know for his role as Mr. Sulu on the original Star Trek is no stranger to the Sci-Fi genre. His appearance on Heroes has been touted by many places online and offline for a few months. Masi Oka talked about his guest appearance in January, so it might not have come as a shock, when, in this past Monday's episode, the black van's doors opened, and, instead of the traditional "bad guy" Hiro and Ando were expecting, Takei's menacing father figure was there instead. It was easy to see with the disapproving look and way Mr. Nakamura tried to get Hiro and Ando return to Japan through intimidation, that he's not supportive of his son's superheroic ideals.
