When the Fox series "Prison Break" recently ended, Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell ended up behind bars … again. But a third jail sentence isn't enough to keep actor Robert Knepper from terrorizing the screens and he has now been revealed as the face of evil in the upcoming fourth season of "Heroes."
Knepper, who has also starred in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "Transporter 3" is committed to a six episode stint on the series which could potentially run a little longer. His character, Samuel, is described as being a charismatic villain possessing a dark and twisted sense of humor, not entirely unlike T-Bag.
No details have been revealed on what powers (if any) Samuel will have however based on his previous role it is possible one of them could be getting out of jail via the most unlikely means. He will be one of several new characters joining the series including a hearing impaired female character that will also serve as a love interest for a "Heroes" veteran and also a young Japanese girl.
Also making the move over to "Heroes are Ray Park and Deanne Bray.
Park is best known as Darth Maul in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" while Bray has wowed audiences on "The L Word."
"Heroes" returns to NBC in the fall with a new Monday 8pm timeslot.
