Veronica Mars" star Kristen Bell has landed a guest-starring role on NBC's "Heroes" for the coming season.

Bell will appear in several episodes of the hit series, playing a woman with shadowy ties to several characters. The actress has been fielding multiple TV offers since "Veronica" was cancelled at the end of last season; she reportedly turned down a role on ABC's "Lost" in recent days.

"This was not easy to pull off. But since we're an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in [Bell's] schedule," "Heroes" creator Tim Kring tells Variety.
Per the trade paper, "Heroes" viewers will first meet Bell's character, Elle, as she commits a crime. The character also has links to the Peter's (Milo Ventimiglia) supposed death, HRG (Jack Coleman) and his daughter Claire (Hayden Panettiere).

The role is Bell's second TV gig this fall. She also narrates The CW's series "Gossip Girl," though she does not appear on camera.

She also has a pair of movies due in the next year -- "Fanboys," which is scheduled for release in January, and the Judd Apatow-produced "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," which is set for next summer.

Awesome. I loves me some Kristen Bell action.

Inteesting that she turned down a role in Lost as well. Maybe she was too busy filming Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Russell Brand.
 
BEPPE AND GAFFNEY TO LAND ROLES NEXT?
 
I can't wait till Heroes is back
 
I haven't even seen all of season one yet, SO MAYBE I GET THE LAST LAUGH.
 
Yeah?! Well we know what happens!!

Hard to tell if Heroes will end on BBC2 before it starts again in the US(September 23rd, I think?)
 
It won't.
 
THEN IT IS US WHO SHALL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!
 
They needed ANOTHER blonde?
 
There's only Juliet, isn't there?

Oh, and Claire. Never mind.
 
And the split personality chick WHATEVER HER NAME IS
 
That's Niki/Jessica. Probably who Wacky meant instead of LOST Juliet.
 
Oh yeah, I was thinking of Lost, not Heroes, dflajihash
 
But Dork gets let off, because, to be fair, two of the three blondes ARE identical except for a tattoo that's been forgotten about.

If it's Kristen Bell then yes. Yes, they do.
 
When does she first appear? The first two eps have been meh.
 
The whole season is pretty meh.. even after she shows up. I can't remember when she shows up, seems like years since I watched the last season.
 
It's probably about the third episode. IIRC, the first time she turns up she ruins the special effects sequence by waving like the Queen when she's supposed to be... using her power.

Personally, I think she's a pretty crap actress judging by Heroes, but then everyone seems kinda wooden. Maybe it's just the writing.
 
!!!!
 
Well I knew you'd say that.

But you realise this could mean that Mohinder is actually a good actor? Are we really prepared for that kind of revelation?
 
Heroes is more story driven than character driven, I suppose. They never really have big emotional scenes like Lost and BSG, except for Bennet sometimes (and Michael Emerson could kick his ass.)
