Heroes Season 3’s New Character Joy Revealed?

Earlier this month TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reported that Heroes Season 3 would be introducing two new recurring characters — Senator Robert Malden, a straight shooting politician (that means he’s honest and candid), and Joy, described as “quick on her feet — and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble”. Today I just got an email from Gary Moore, an actor, who tells me he was recently at a conference in North Carolina, and met an actress name Wynn Everett. So who is Wynn Everett? According to Gary, she’s going to be playing Joy, the newest Season 3 Hero mentioned above.

Here’s Gary’s email:

Hey Sam,
I was just at a conference in NC with the next character on Heroes. She will play the speedy character, Joy. Her name is Wynn Everett. She was last seen in Charlie Wilson’s War. Here’s a pic of her of me with her and her husband Michael.
All the best,
Gary Moore

Thanks to Gary for the email. You can check out his website here.

So who is Wynn Everett? Here’s her Wikipedia entry:

Wynn Everett is an American actress in film and television. She has made three guest appearances on the television show Hope and Faith. Additionally she has had roles in Root (2004), End of the Spear (2006), as well as playing one of Charlie Wilson’s office staff in “Charlie Wilson’s War” (2007). She worked as a green room coordinator on Good Morning America.

Previously she graduated from Auburn University with a major in Communication and a minor in Theater.

Some pictures of her from TopNews.in:

Let me stress that this Heroes casting rumor does not come from an NBC source, so whether it is true or not, remains to be seen.

Update: 5/05/08

TV Guide has confirmed that another actress named Brea Grant is playing the character of Joy. Read that full story here.
