Greg Grunberg

  1. Mark Addy, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, 2000).    An odd notion choice for  Fred Flintstone because Greg did not have the, er, weight.  Not then… The production became a prequel instead of sequelising The Flintstones, 1993, because John Goodman refused an encore as Fred and his Barney Rubble mate, Rick Moranis, had retired from acting in 1997, to bring up his two children, following the  the death of his wife Ann Belsky.   Fred became the Brit Addy from The Full Monty. 
  2. Milo Ventimiglia, Heroes, TV, 2006-2010.       Known as “JJ’s good luck charm,” The Grunny is in almost everything his pal JJ Abrams writes – Alias, Heroes, Lost, Mission Impossible III. They’ve known each another since kindergarten. This time he tested as Peter Petrelli. And became the hear-everyone cop Matt Parkman.Todd Jensen, Hero Wanted, TV, 2007.      One hero too many… Being in Heroes, meant Greg had no time to be Detective Wallace MacTee opposite Ray Liotta and Cuba Gooding Jr.
  3. Todd Jensen, Hero Wanted,   TV,  2007.    One hero too many…  Being in Heroes, meant Greg had no time to be Detective Wallace MacTee opposite Ray Liotta and Cuba Gooding Jr.   
  4. Bruce Greenwood, Star Trek, 2008.      Greg, however, passed on Pike. “A great part,” said JJ. Then again, JJ didn’t write the film, simply producer-directed it while Grunberg was off producer-co-writing his own thing (with another pal, Lawrence Trilling), a little movie they dare to call… Group Sex. “I wish them all the best,” said JJ.
  5. Greg Ellis, Star Trek, 2008.  When Grunny couldn’t even become  Olson, the  Chief Engineer went to Ellis- aND  JJ kept his usual talisman aboard as the radio voice of Kirk’s alcoholic stepfather…
