Bruce Boxleitner Joins Cast of Heroes

As previously reported, Brea Grant is coming aboard the cast of Heroes in the villainous role of Joy.

Now, we've received word that Bruce Boxleitner has snagged a recurring role that was originally going to be modeled after John McCain. We're guessing this is the character that - originally, at least - was to be known as Senator Robert Malden.

Bruce Boxleitner has appeared in the shows Cold Case and Crossing Jordan.
