Nick D’Agosto Joins Heroes as Claire’s New Boyfriend

Looks like all that rumor about Claire getting a new boyfriend is true, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that actor Nick D’Agosto (pictured left) has joined the cast of Heroes as Claire’s new boyfriend, West. According to THR, D’Agosto’s will have “a very cool superpower.” Are we talking cool as in Bobby “Iceman” Drake cool, or just cool as in, “Wow, that’s really cool!” cool? Whatever the case, we’ll just have to wait to find out when Claire (apparently) goes back to school in California. Now who is going to play the lesbian cheerleader…?

This past development season, D’Agosto co-starred opposite Marisa Tomei in CBS’ comedy pilot “The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud.” Last year, he played the male lead opposite Mena Suvari in another CBS pilot, the drama “Orpheus.”

D’Agosto will next be seen in the indie “Rocket Science,” which premiered to strong reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
