Tawny Cypress, who starred in Season 1 of NBC’s Heroes, has been tapped to play a senator named Miranda Crane on Supergirl. Crane is described as a senator peddling anti-alien beliefs in order to get votes. Of course, when there’s an alien attack on National City, Senator Crane will possibly have to go to an alien — Supergirl — for help.
