According to Hollywood Reporter, Ernie Hudson who formerly played in “Oz”, will be joining the cast of NBC’s sci-fi drama “Heroes.” His role will be a recurring one. He will play a character named Captain Lubbock who is a Baltimore detective.

Even though the show’s producers are keeping the story’s details a secret,they did find out that Captain Lubbock is on the hunt for one of the characters on the show.

Hudson is no stranger to his new “Heroes” character as his acting resume includes playing a detective on ABC’s hit show “Desperate Housewives.” He also played a senior deputy on ABC’s dramedy “10-8: Officers on Duty.”

I’ve watched the trailer for “Heroes” upcoming 4th season,and I must say it looks pretty wild. I think they are making some good decisions on the direction that they are taking this show in.

They have brought on Robert Knepper to play a new villain named Samuel who leads a traveling carnival of people with special powers,and it really looks like it’s going to bring a lot of new action to the show.

“Heroes” 4th season premieres Monday September 21,2009 at 7pm central time on NBC.
