Takei Is Dad Of Heroes' Hiro

TV Guide reported that Star Trek veteran George Takei has been cast as the father of the Trek-obsessed Hiro in NBC's hit superhero series Heroes. "It was one of those lightning-bolt ideas," series creator Tim Kring told TV Guide.

Takei, who played Mr. Sulu in the original Trek TV show and subsequent films, will play dad to the breakout time-bending character played by Masi Oka. "This is absolutely brilliant!" Oka told the magazine. "I just hope I get to say, 'Dad! Sulu is my hero, not you!'"

The Nov. 27 issue of TV Guide will have details of Takei's appearance. Heroes airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

This makes me giddy with happiness!!! THIS RULES!!!! PERFECT CASTING!!!

I literally was jumping up and down when I saw this. Everyone else at work was looking at me funny. We now have former Doctor Who, Stargate, and Star Trek cast members. Maybe we should find a part for Billy Mumy and cover Lost in Space and Babylon 5!
