"Sopranos" Actress Joins "Heroes"

**MickBeth** · 06-01-2007, 02:07 PM

The number of "Heroes" in the world will grow by at least one next season.

Actress Dania Ramirez, who's coming off a recurring part on "The Sopranos," has joined the NBC hit's cast for next season. She'll be a regular and play a character with powers, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but the show is keeping any other details under wraps.

"Heroes" put out the call for several new characters last month -- including a surrogate mother for Niki's (Ali Larter) son and a boyfriend for Claire (Hayden Panettiere) -- but Ramirez is expected to be the only series regular among the new group. It will also up the female contingent on the series; "Heroes" ended its season with only two women, Larter and Panettiere, among its nine surviving regulars.

Ramirez recently wrapped up a recurring part on "The Sopranos," playing A.J.'s (Robert Iler) fiancee; her ending of the relationship sent him into a spiral of depression. She also co-starred in NBC's drama pilot "Fort Pit" this past development season.

Her other credits include "X-Men: The Last Stand," "Romy and Michele: In the Beginning" and a guest stint on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Never seen her in anything other than X-Men, but this could be cool. They need some new regulars since a few already died.

Haha, classic line from Tony Soprano "Dominican, at least shes catholic." She was quite a looker on the Sopranos, apparently being a model is a requirement for all females cast on Heroes. Not that I'm complaining.
