Brea Grant to join Heroes as Joy ‘the speedster’

brea-grant, heroes joy the-speedstrer

That’s right folks!

Brea Grant, of Friday Night Lights’ fame, has joined the cast of Heroes as Joy ‘the speedster’.

Read all about after the jump..

OK, maybe this week won’t be completely doom-and-gloomy after all.

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.”

Let me be the first to congratulate Tim Kring and his team on a job very well done. Who’s going to be the second?

and (in case you missed) E!Online’s Kristin a few days earlier wrote a description of her character

Joy

Look for a new villain named Joy. Her power is super-speed—she’s lightning-fast, like the Flash. Hiro meets her in a museum. He asks her if she has powers and if she is trying to steal some art. She convinces him she’s on the up-and-up…and then makes off with a bunch of paintings. She’s described as a nymph-like character with the speed of a cheetah on, er, speed.

Hiro should have the advantage against her, but then again she has the advantage over a lot of the other characters though… 2nd!

[...] On a previous article we announced the casting of Brea Grant as “Joy the Speedster”…and, ironically, that character’s name changed -very quickly- to Daphne. [...]
