Nick D'Agosto has landed a major recurring role on NBC's hit sci-fi drama Heroes for next season.
On the Universal Media Studios series, he will play Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) boyfriend, West, who is said to have "a very cool superpower."
D'Agosto is the second new addition to the cast of Heroes for next season, joining recently appointed new regular Dania Ramirez.
This past development season, D'Agosto co-starred opposite Marisa Tomei in CBS' comedy pilot The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud. Last year, he played the male lead opposite Mena Suvari in another CBS pilot, the drama Orpheus.
D'Agosto will next be seen in the indie Rocket Science, which premiered to strong reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
He is repped by ICM, manager Faras Rabadi and attorney Mitch Smelkinson.

Writer-producer John McNamara has inked a two-year overall deal with CBS Paramount Network Television. Under the seven-figure pact, McNamara has joined the studio's CBS drama pilot Orpheus as an executive producer and will develop new projects for the studio. "John is somebody that I'd admired and respected for years and years," CBS Paramount Network TV president David Stapf said. "He's uniquely talented in that he can create, develop and write in a variety of genres. He is a phenomenal writer as well as a great showrunner and a great team player." Stapf and McNamara's paths have crossed twice before, first at Warner Bros. TV where McNamara was working on such shows as The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Stapf ran the publicity department; and later at CBS where Stapf was the head of current programming while McNamara executive produced the network's drama series The Fugitive.
