"Heroes" cast member Dawn Olivieri will prowl "True Blood" as a werewolf.

Olivieri will play Janice Herveaux, the sister of werewolf Alcide (Joe Manganiello), according to TVGuide.com.

Herveaux is a gritty biker who's into psychics, horoscopes and protecting her younger brother. She will first appear in Season 3's fourth episode, "9 Crimes."

Olivieri ("Entourage," "How I Met Your Mother") recently concluded a recurring role of the empath Lydia on Season 4 of "Heroes."

She also auditioned for the "True Blood" role of Debbie Pelt, Alcide's ex-girlfriend. No details on who will play Pelt are available.

"True Blood" returns in June on HBO, and stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgård and Ryan Kwanten.
