Fans of Homicide: Life on the Streets should be giddy about now, because if you love that show, and you love Heroes, then one of the best character actors out there today who used to work on the former show has just joined the latter show. Or at least, he will be. Zeljko Ivanek, who played A.D.A. Ed Danvers on Homicide: Life on the Streets (and who just won an Emmy for his role in the cable TV show Damages), has been cast on Heroes as the enigmatically named “The Hunter”. What exactly will he be hunting? How about our Heroes? Ivanek will be making his first appearance in Episode 14 of Season 3, the very first episode of the season’s new volume, “Fugitives”, which kicks off a new storyline after the events in the current “Villains” volume.
More from Kristin over at E! Online:
According to insiders, the Hunter’s first appearance is in episode 14, which kicks off Volume Four: Fugitives. (Heroes creator Tim Kring is writing the Fugitives premiere!)
I’m told that Volume Four will begin in late January or early February 2009, and since it is all about fugitives, the role of the Hunter sounds pretty key, don’t you think? Tommy Lee Jones has nothing on this newbie, from what I hear…
Zeljko Ivanek is not exactly an imposing figure, so my guess is that to make up for the lack of height and physical menace, his character will probably have a power that makes him a formidable foe for the fugitive Heroes he’ll be hunting.
