Every geeky guy in America fell in love with Brea Grant when she played Jean on Friday Night Lights, Landry's would-be girlfriend who's idea of a good date is staying in and watching a Mystery Science Theater 300 marathon. Some guys may prefer some porn star-looking buxom blonde, but Brea Grant has spunk, and we love spunk.

Though some were sad to see Landry toss Jean aside in favor of the “sexier” Tyra, it allowed for Grant to move on to win an even larger geek audience as she joins the cast of Heroes this season as one of the new villains. She'll play Daphne, a speedster who runs like the wind and squares off against Hiro. Daphne works fast, and so does Grant – if a mere three episodes of Friday Night Lights made us take notice, showing up for even longer on a more popular show may render her unstoppable.
