Meet the Newest & Fastest Hero!

The Marshall News Messenger of Texas has a recent writeup about actress Brea Greant, the newest addition to the NBC Heroes Cast. The 26 year-old Brea will be playing the role of "Daphne", a girl who has the power of superhuman speed. According to the article it looks like her character will cross paths with Hiro and his sidekick Ando, and is Hiro's arch nemesis due to his ability to stop time.

From Marshall News Messenger:

In the series, Daphne's superpower allows her to operate at three speeds, according to an Associated Press article. Character Hiro, who has the ability to stop time, is her arch nemesis.

In a recent phone interview with The News Messenger, Ms. Grant termed her character as "super fast" and one who uses "her power for evil." She said, though, she expects her character to shift toward the "grey area of good and evil" as the series moves forward, adding "there are some changes in store for Daphne."

"In many ways she's a bad guy. So she steals a lot of stuff for profit. And because she's so fast, she can get away with all of it," she said.

Ms. Grant said a challenge, while pursing other roles outside of the show, was switching in and out of her speedy character. She said other producers would often advise her to slow the pace of her speech.

"I talked really fast," Ms. Grant said of her experiences on other auditions while still trying to seize a role on "Heroes." "Because, Daphne's power is speed and (producers) kept telling me to slow down in all my auditions so that was pretty annoying."

Ms. Grant said, so far, she's filmed one episode of the program's third season. But she declined to disclose any additional details from fear of giving away information on sub-plots and secrets.
