Thomas Dekker is set to play John Connor in Fox's drama pilot "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," from WBTV and C2, the company of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna.

Written by Josh Friedman, the project takes place after the events depicted in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and follows Sarah Connor (Lena Headey), a modern warrior and loving single mom to 15-year-old son John (Dekker).

Dekker recurs on NBC's hit new drama "Heroes" as Zach, Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) friend and confidant.

He also had a recurring role on "7th Heaven" and recently guest starred on Fox's "House" and CBS' "Shark."

Bad career move Zach, while you may have had a small role on Heroes, I can almost guarentee it will last longer than this show.

I'm thinking after the last episode we've seen the last of Zack....so he was probably just looking for more work.

Well heroes was only a recurring role, not a main one. He might be able to maintain shooting both anyway (if they were planning to keep him around on heroes)

This is great news. In my opinion, he's a great actor in 'Heroes' and the 'Shark' episode I saw him in.

Read the Pilot, and it's actually alot better than some people at the moment think it will be.

And even though Sarah is in the title, in my opinion- upon reading the Pilot teleplay- it is more about John Connor stepping up and becoming a hero. Likened to the journey of Luke Skywalker.
