The guest stars are coming out! NBC's Heroes has scooped up one of television's big up-and-comers, the upcoming Kings has revived a former child actor for a multi-episode arc, and Fox's 'Til Death has tapped Broadway for one of its best, according to EW.com.
Dan Byrd is joining Heroes!!
Heroes is hoping a former television nerd can save its day from struggling ratings, and has booked former Aliens in America star (and TV.com favorite) Dan Byrd for at least three episodes of Volume 4: Fugitives. Byrd, who played Justin Tolchuck on the canceled waaaaay too early Aliens, will play David, a youngster with a penchant for lying who may end up paling around with Sylar. Byrd recently guest-starred on ABC Family's Greek.
Speaking of troublemaking youngsters, or at least former, Home Alone's Macaulay Culkin will appear in NBC's upcoming Kings, which looks like the best new show to come to television in a long time (or it could be that everything else looks like crap). Culkin will play the nephew of King Silas (Ian McShane) in this modern-day retelling of the story of David and Goliath.
Finally, actor Nathan Lane, last seen in the limelight in Broadway's The Producers, will join 'Til Death. In a huge stretch, Lane will play the gay brother of Brad Garrett's character on the November 18 episode.

love itttt
nothing can save heros it one of the worse shows on tv if not the worse series one ws good but its gone downill since then
Never heard of him.
People say Heroes has to many charatcers now and you can't follow but lets look back at season one. In season one there were about ten differnet charatcers right that had their own story on their own adventure now these ten characters didnt even know about each other but that wasnt hard to follow. Now there are bout 6 or 7 more characters that are all on the same journey right with the same characters from season one but they all know each other and are all together but thats hard to follow? Anyway and what kills me is that everyone was on Peters dick when the show started now he is the worst character man Heroes must suck ass. What could help Heroes become the show you clamed to have loved? Thats a stupid question cause then the show would be pradictable and then you wouldnt want to watch either.moreless
Is he going to play an older version of Sylar's son? I hope so.
i dont know this kid eitherbut i think he'll do a great job on heroesi just hope that the writers wont kill him like they did with so many other characters in less than 3 seasons
I was hoping Macaulay would be the one on Heroes, I don't even know this kid:-(
Love Dan Byrd in Aliens in America. Glad to hear he is joining Heroes, great show that need drastic changes every way imaginable.
i agree with amaryllis88: keep the drugged up party hoes out of the airwaves!
I've seen Aliens in America, wasn't impressed with the show or the actor.
Til Death is still on the air?
Just as long as Lindsey Lohan doesn't appear on any other sitcoms... lol
To many characters! I think we need less characters and more action, better writing and better acting. This is just a bad idea to overpopulate the show with even more Heroes to remember. Plus the shows writers apparently don't want to kill off any of their main characters except Isaac in the first season but that was so long ago. They've got to seriously consider making some drastic changes. If Heroes was on FOX or ABC or even CBS it would most likely face the possibility of being canceled but since it's on NBC, that threat is adverted.
They should time end heroes like they did for lost
Nothing against the actor, but I highly doubt Dan Byrd will bring in the big ratings for Heroes.
We'll see where this leads to...
I never got the chance to watch Aliens in America, but I liked Dan Byrd in the old movie Cinderella Story. He should be a nice addition to the cast, especially since West is gone and there aren't any adorable younger guys around!
