Good news for the geek squad: Entertainment Weekly's casting wizard Michael Ausiello says that Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are near a deal to appear on Heroes for a multiepisode story arc. If all goes as planned, the buddies will play "comic book aficionados who cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes."
Former child star Green, of course, is familiar to nerds of all kinds for his work in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Austin Powers movies. Meyer is recognizable from sitcoms as well as such kid-friendly films as Garfield and Herbie Fully Loaded. They've worked together on several films, and both write and do voices for Green's animated-action-figure series Robot Chicken.
They're both funny guys, and the characters should provide some good self-referential fun for Heroes' most dedicated fan base, the Comic-Con set. Especially if one of them ends up with the cheerleader.
