Star Trek veteran, Nichelle Nichols, has been cast in the NBC hit show HEROES, says Tv Guide. This marks a strange reunion of sorts seeing how George "Sulu" Takei portrays Hiro's father in the show. Nichols won't have as big a part in it, according to the report. She's to play a limited role as a grandmother to a new character named Monica (who is being portrayed by Dana Davis). Her character will be living in New Orleans.
