News > Miss Universe Auditions for Heroes

June 11, 2007

What are you to do when you've been dubbed the most gorgeous woman in the known universe? If you're Riyo Mori, Japanese 2007 Miss Universe winner, you evidently audition for a part on the single hottest show on television.
 
"As soon as I won Miss Universe I had this big chance," Mori said. "I've never acted before. I went to the casting audition and read a script in English and Japanese, and they said it was really good. So I hope I can be in the show."
 
If she gets the part, Mori will be playing the part of Yaeko, ostensibly a love interest for Hiro Nakamura. I say "ostensibly" because refers only to the character as a love interest for "one of the main characters." But considering the fact that this season's finale ended with Hiro landing in feudal Japan and every other character has an established love interest of some sort, Hiro is the most likely candidate for some Miss Mori lovin'.
 
 
 
Yeah. Hiro could hit that. Let's hope she lands the role.
