The Sopranos actress Dania Ramirez joins Heroes
Looks like Dania Ramirez, who recently had a recurring role on the now-completed series The Sopranos, has signed onto Heroes.
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.
Next season is shaping up to kick some butt!
