Veronica Mars meets Weevil -- on Heroes?

We Veronica Mars fans take whatever bones the TV world will throw at us. We mourn the loss of the well-written female super-sleuth series, and we've been kicked while we are down with the cancellation of Moonlight, where we at least got to see Jason Dohring every week. Could there be a little love coming for the VM fans?

If you watch Heroes, you could be in for a real treat this fall, when Francis Capra, of Weevil fame, joins the cast alongside former Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell.

We don't know much about Capra's role except that his name is Jesse and he will be evil. Weevil playing evil -- a rhyme I just had to make and a role I'm looking forward to seeing. Even though I don't watch Heroes, I'll tune in to see what Capra's got for us.

So, VM fans, enjoy the reunion of Veronica and Weevil this fall, and try not to let that bothersome Heroes story line get in the way of the VM nostalgia.

I'm always happy to see VMars actors in other roles these days, and since I'm already a Heroes viewer I'm thrilled with this news.

Is it sad I was really excited to see Wallace in an Orbit commerical? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0WtHRMtftOs) And I really want Michael Muhney to make an appearance on Dollhouse (since he's met and loves Joss) so much it hurts.

Long rant short: tv people, hire these actors more!

i'm still wishing they'll realize their mistake and bring veronica mars back. but, desperate as i am, I#m already watching moonlight and heroes, without actually liking either, and I'll continue watching everything a vm actor is in, so hey: at least now I'll get two for the price of one
