Knepper makes for a much better villain than Sylar has been for the last season. Glad to see there is another big baddy being introduced. I pray this season takes it up a notch, or 100 preferably. Please be good again Heroes, please!
"Heroes" will have a new villain for NBC's season four and his name is T-Bag. Strike that. His name is Robert Knepper, who played Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell on Fox's "Prison Break". HR reports that Knepper has been selected as the new lead villain for at least six episodes of the next season. The latest addition comes a day after "Californication" actress Madeline Zima was tapped to play Claire's quirky college roommate.
Knepper will play Samuel, a Jim Jones type -- charismatic but evil, with a twisted sense of humor -- who will veer into the lives of all heroes. The character had been referred to as "Carnival Barker" in the series breakdown released last month.
"Heroes" is slated to return in the fall for a "Lost"-style all-original run in a new time slot at 8 p.m. on Mondays. The sci-fi drama -- which enjoys a strong online following -- will share its time period with another fan favorite, "Chuck," which will take over in midseason.

I think that the writers have heard enough from the fans to know that if they don't give a better performance this year, that the masses will turn this show off...I would hate to do it, but I would.....
Too bad to hear Chuck is taking over midseason. Give it a regular start and a chance at earning a full 20-24 ep season.
And these all sound like good casting choices. Heroes has so much potential... I keep hoping the writers can realize that.
I sometimes feel bad for actors who get type cast in the villian role but this guy does it well. Will be a nice addition to the show which really needs more interesting and competent villians. Hopefully Micah Sanders will drink the kool aid. (oops did I say that out loud, my bad)
