12 Actors You Probably Forgot Were On Heroes

8. Nichelle Nichols

Heroes Stan Lee
NBC

Who She Played: Nana, Micah's great-aunt in Season 2.

Where You Know Her From: As the original Uhura on Star Trek.

Why You Forgot She Was On Heroes: Unlike her former co-star George Takei, Nichols didn't get the chance to make much of a mark on the series. Introduced as Micah's new guardian in New Orleans and with Micah's cousin Monica developing her own copycat powers throughout the short season, Nana could've stayed around for much longer had the third season not dropped the New Orleans storyline completely.

Neither Nana or Monica were seen or heard from again on the series and Micah's time in New Orleans was eclipsed by the adventures of other characters.
