John Kerry introduced as new cast member of Heroes
Fresh from his endorsement of Barack Obama, John Kerry announced his eight episode story arch on the hit NBC superhero show, Heroes. With rumors of the writer’s strike winding down, Kerry along with fellow Heroes star Hayden Panettiere made the announcement yesterday in Washington.

Kerry will play Leonard Hightower, a gigantic former congressman with the ability to manipulate the space-time continuum by making people think hours have passed in the matter of seconds just by listening to him speak.
Creator Tim Kring hopes the former Senator’s presence will help the faltering show in the ratings but has agreed to a Heroes, Deal or No Deal spin-off if the plan doesn’t work. More on this story as it develops.

I missed this one on my last visit. Distracted by monkey story. “Leonard Hightower”–very funny.
