Brea Grant on Heros
Here are some excerpts from an interview with Brea Grant talking about her new “Heroes” character, The Speedster:
“I’m stealing a secret that’s been kept in Hiro’s family for a long time that he’s just now found,” Brea Grant told The Associated Press during a break in filming on location in a high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles. “He stops time right as I grab it, but in that second it took him to grab it, I almost make it out of the office.”
Grant doesn’t know much about her mysterious new character. Daphne’s superpower allows her to operate at three speeds and leave a supersonic wake in her path when Hiro stops time. Grant’s not sure where Daphne is from, but she does know the Speedster - that’s what she calls herself - has been on her own for a long time.
“I had to go to this place and stand on a platform in my underwear,” said Grant. “They turned it around and took photos of me. It felt like some sort of weird experiment. I imagine those pictures will end up on the Internet at some point.”
“I hope to be in some battle with the other Heroes, whether it’s with them, against them, whatever,” she said.
The third season is titled “Villains,” and will pick up immediately following the events of the second season, which was cut short because of the writers strike. Viewers will learn about the fates of several characters when the show returns in September, including who shot Nathan Petrelli.
