Oz" alum Ernie Hudson has joined NBC's drama series "Heroes" in a recurring role.
He will play Captain Lubbock, a Baltimore detective.
As usual, the show's producers are keeping story line details under wraps. IT is understood that Lubbock is on the hunt for one of the other characters on the show.
"Heroes" marks a return to the police beat for Hudson, who played a detective in a recurring role on ABC's "Desperate Housewives." He also played a senior deputy on ABC's dramedy "10-8: Officers on Duty."
The upcoming fourth season of "Heroes" introduces a major new mythology about a traveling carnival of people with special powers run by a charismatic but evil Earth-moving ringleader (Robert Knepper).
This season of Heroes has a lot of star power. Will the story be good enough? I for one think this show has jumped the shark(or thrown the S ;)) ever since the third season.
