312. Greg Grunberg

Longtime television and film actor Greg Grunberg makes his first appearance on the podcast. He came on the show after he tweeted “What’s the good word?” Seth replied, and the rest is history.

Grunberg is best known for playing Detective Matt Parkman on the hit series Heroes and Eric Weiss on the equally successful show Alias. He was in two Star Wars films, The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker. He is also well known for his charitable work fighting the disease epilepsy. His band “The Action Figures Band,” is playing LA Comic Con’s “Afterparty” this coming Saturday night (December 3rd) at The Mayan in Downtown Los Angeles. The band includes his fellow “Heroes” co-stars Adrian Pasdar and Jack Coleman, his “Felicity” co-star Amy Jo Johnson, as well as Scott Grimes, Sarah Wayne Callies, Nick Marzock, and Brad Savage. He also stars in a YouTube series entitled The Care Giver Series, which focuses on people who take care of loved ones afflicted with illness and other issues.

In this episode, Grunberg discusses his love for the superhero genre. He elaborates on the stepping stone Heroes was that led to the superhero boom that soon followed it. He also speaks about growing up with Star Trek/Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.
