Remember that post we made a few weeks ago, when someone emailed us that an actress had been cast as Joy in Heroes’ upcoming Season 3? Well apparently that was wrong, because TV Guide has just confirmed through their sources that an actress name Brea Grant is, instead, the speedster Joy in Season 3. Grant used to be on the NBC football show Friday Night Lights, but come Season 3, she’ll be running circles around the Heroes gang, probably as something of an anti-hero.
TV Guide has more on the casting:
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the enchanting Brea Grant — who made quite the impression as Landry’s short-lived rebound girl on Friday Night Lights — is joining the cast of Heroes next season as The Speedster.
As you’ll recall, last month I reported that Heroes was casting the role of Joy, who’s “quick on her feet — and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble.”
You can find out more about Brea, pictured below, at her site here








I don’t mind that she’s blonde (despite the show already having like, three) ’cause her hair is pretty rad
She looks like how the character is described as well.
yeah i agree…she looks like someone who would be quick on her feet
While adding too many new characters worries me, this lady does look interesting. Lets hope they show us the tie ins faster this season. I don’t need an adrenalin rush so much as just a bit of explanation and connectedness with existing plot and characters.
Before she was on Heroes, Brea Grant was a character on the online TV series “The Writer’s Room”. Check out her episode at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_dT5XZyB20
