Sark joins “Heroes” as… a Samurai warrior?

This is probably one they should have left as a spoiler. David Anders, Sark from TV’s “Alias,” will be joining the cast of “Heroes” for season 2 as the legendary samurai Takezo Kensei, according to Zap2It. That would have been a great reveal. This will settle for me something I’ve been wondering since he first appeared as Sark: Can David Anders actually act, or was he just the beneficiary of a cool and fun part that would have made anybody look good? Because if you’re an actor, “Heroes” doesn’t exactly give you much to work with. The dialogue can be simply atrocious. A white dude as a 17th century Samurai warrior is probably a cool and fun part that would make anybody look good, so this ought to be fun.
Other new “Heroes” cast members include Barry Shabaka Henley as a NYC detective. That could be good too.

I was so disappointed with the final few episodes of “Heroes” that I’m not sure I’ll even bother with next season.
However the final few “Lost” episodes were so good that now I finally want to watch all of “Alias” especially now that we have to wait forever for new “Lost” episodes.
