William Katt:
William Katt, who played the lead role in the '80s television show Greatest American Hero, is the latest classic sci-fi TV actor to make an appearance on the NBC show Heroes.
"I just filmed it last week,"
Katt says of his appearance on Heroes. "I play a really, really wonderful, seedy, smarmy-mouthed reporter that goes after
Ali Larter. It was a lot of fun."
Although
Larter's character, Niki Sanders, was apparently trapped in a house that exploded at the end of last season, not only is she back on the set, but
Katt said he worked almost exclusively with her. "She hogged me. She wanted me all to herself," he jokes.
The actor, whose role as Ralph Hinkley on Greatest American Hero lasted three years, joins other stars of cult sci-fi classics who have appeared on Heroes, including
Joanna Cassidy from Blade Runner and Star Trek actors
George Takei and
Nichelle Nichols.
