Tim Kring's hailing frequency remains open to
Star Trek crossovers. Having recruited George "Sulu" Takei to portray Hiro's father during Season 1, the
Heroes creator has called upon
Nichelle Nichols, aka USS
Enterprise communications officer Lt. Uhura, to fill a short-term role.
Nichols, an NBC rep tells TVGuide.com, will be playing Nana, the New Orleans-based grandmother of Monica (the new hero being played by
The Nine's Dana Davis).
Majel Barrett, you are now on deck.
