The Heroes casting reports just won't stop. Yesterday, we learned that Prison Break's Robert Knepper would come on board as a new villain. Now, Star Wars baddie Ray Park is in talks to appear in the show's next season for a sizeable arc.

As Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Park famously wielded a double-bladed light saber to slice up Liam Neeson. He showed his goofier side as Toad in the original X-Men film and recently as a Skywalker Ranch security guard in Fanboys. We still don't know any details about Park's role on Heroes, but some Interweb bloggos are convinced that he'll play the "Knife Thrower" described in Heroes' recent casting breakdowns.

Ray Park as the Knife Thrower? I'll take it. As long as he gets to do Kung-Fu kicks and 360-degree air spins while he's throwing knives.

Park, who next stars as Snake Eyes in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, should be able to deliver some decent action to Heroes, a show that's been lacking just that since season one (remember how we got jipped during the last Petrelli bros. vs. Sylar bout?). Par is also a pretty good actor. Darth Maul was scary as hell, and he was appropriately disgusting and funny as Toad in X-Men. I wonder if this casting move will help get Heroes' ratings up next season.

Deanne Bray (The L Word) is also in talks to join Heroes for multiple eps. Can she do 360 air spins? Anyone?
