No Heroics USA: Cast

Friday 20 March 2009

Not many people watched ITV2's No Heroics last year (because it was on ITV2), but creator Drew Pearce probably doesn't care now, because he's helping Jeff Greenstein (Will & Grace) remake his superhero comedy for ABC. The new series retains the original's premise (a group of loser "capes" who frequent a bar in a world where superheroes are everywhere), but changes the characters and their powers.

In the US version, Freddie Prinze Jr (Scooby Doo) will play Bradley/Ultimatum, an "egotistical Alpa Male who has all the women and fame and money a guy could want"; Paul Campbell (Battlestar Galactica) plays Pete/Chillout, "a Canadian-born superhero who can freeze small objects"; Eliza Coupe (Scrubs) stars as a "bad girl who can turn invisible"; and Arielle Kebbel (The Grudge 2) is the "sweetheart" of the group.
