“Heroes” star Brea Grant announced today on her website that she has landed a recurring role on season six of Showtime’s Emmy-winning serial killer series “Dexter.” She joins Edward James Olmos, Colin Hanks, and Mos Def as the show’s new faces.

Grant teased:

I’ll be recurring on Dexter this season! no spoilers but i’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing me in a white lab coat.

Hmm. Earlier this month a casting call was leaked that listed one of the season’s new characters as being a lab assistant for Masuka. The role asked for male actor, but is there a chance they went female? That could be fun.

Grant starred as Laurie Strode’s (Scout Taylor-Compton) best friend Mya in Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2. She’s best known, however, for her role as speed-freak thief Daphne Millbrook on NBC’s “Heroes.”

Production on “Dexter” began this week in Los Angeles.
