Coming to Heroes: Swoosie Kurtz

Bryan Fuller's presence is already being felt on Heroes.

The Pushing Daisies creator, who is returning to Heroes about midway through its fourth volume, is bringing one of the former show's leading ladies with him.

Swoosie Kurtz will be reuniting with her former boss, according to a report in Entertainment Weekly.

Kurtz's spokesperson says the actress has signed a deal to guest star in an April episode of the show, one by Fuller himself.

"Bryan wrote the part specifically for her," said Kurtz' spokesperson of her character, Millie, an old society friend of Angela Petrelli's. "It's a really fun role."
