Another Star 'Treks' to 'Heroes'

George Takei won't be the only "Star Trek" alumnus on the hit NBC show "Heroes" this fall. Fellow Enterprise crewmember Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, will appear for five or six episodes during the series' sophomore season, according to Trek Movie Report.

This all explains what Tim King, the program's creator and executive producer, meant when he recently told E! Online he was looking "for another face that will have a very similar impact" on fans as Takei's casting did.

A star from another Trek incarnation has already joined next year's cast. Dominic Keating, who played Malcolm Reed on "Star Trek: Enterprise," will be an Irish mob boss during several episodes of the 2007-2008 season.

However, the Star Trek/"Heroes" link flows both ways, as shown by the recent hiring of Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar, as the young Spock in the upcoming "Star Trek XI" motion picture.

Now word is out that If he has his way, James Kyson Lee, who plays non-powered Ando (Hiro's friend), is actively seeking to follow in Takei's footsteps and wants to play a young Hikaru Sulu in the movie.

"Star Trek XI" is set to release on Dec. 25, 2008, while "Heroes" returns to the NBC Monday night line-up at 9 p.m. on Sept. 24.
