Anne Heche Joins 'Quantico' Cast; Will She Catch the Bomber?

Quantico has had some big news lately with picking up a full season and racking up viewers. The freshman show has casting news that is just as explosive as the explosion of Grand Central on the show. Anne Heche has been tapped to check into this season of Quantico in an important guest role. What does this casting news mean for the bomber? Will the new character be the one to catch him, or her?

Shortly after the popular new show was picked up a full season order, Heche, 46, was cast to be walking the halls at Quantico. TV Line noted that the now-defunct Dig star will guest-star as, "Dr. Susan Langdon, a former FBI agent and medical examiner who is now a bestselling author and pundit. She returns to Quantico to lead a seminar on how to identify and catch serial murderers." She does not know there is a possible murderer already at Quantico. Heche is set to debut later this fall.

The former Mrs. Ellen DeGeneres has an extensive resume. Her acting credits include hit shows such as Hung from 2009-2011, Men in Trees from 2006-2008, Everwood from 2004-2005 and Ellen from 1997-1998. Her film acting resume includes hits like The Juror, Donnie Brasco, Volcano, Six Days Seven Nights, I know What You Did Last Summer and 1998's Psycho in which she reinvented the famous Janet Leigh shower scene.

Quantico is a series that gives us an inside look at a class of FBI students whom are training to be agents. They are presented as the most intelligent, cunning and witty individuals from around the world. In other words, they are supposed to be the best of the best.The cast is led by international star Pryanka Chopra who plays Alex Parrish. She is being accused of the bombing that takes place early in the series. Just like a good game of Clue, Quantico is a whodunit story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Is Alex Parrish being framed or is she the bomber?

Look for Heche to show up later this fall on Quantico.

Quantico airs Sundays on ABC at 10/9c.
