Two New Actors Joining Heroes in Volume Four: Fugitives

Looks as though two more actors have been cast for the upcoming “Fugitives” storyline.

Michael Ausiello from EW.com reports that Dan Byrd from Aliens in America will be cast as David, a teen with a bad streak:

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Byrd has been cast on Heroes in the recurring role of David, a dark and twisted kid who tells lies easily and has a cruel streak. Word is he’ll be a possible apprentice to Sylar (Zachary Quinto).

EOnline confirmed that Emmy Winner Zeljko Ivanek of Damages has been tagged to join the cast as a mysterious new character named “The Hunter”. Kristen Dos Santos says:

According to insiders, the Hunter’s first appearance is in episode 14, which kicks off Volume Four: Fugitives. (Heroes creator Tim Kring is writing the Fugitives premiere!)

Am I the only one that instantly thought of Kraven on that second one? And what’s with creating a new character that sounds and looks similar to West?

Ivanek is a very impressive actor though (He has many acting credits to his name, the least of which includes literally getting hit by a bus on Lost), so the talent seems to be stepping up throughout this third season, unfortunately the Sprint product placement will probably compensate in order to pay for such talent.
