Fans of the Alias and Felicity television series should recognize actor Greg Grunberg, who has appeared in numerous onscreen venues directed or written by J.J. Abrams -- including an uncredited scene in Lost, and a cameo in Mission: Impossible 3. Grunberg also made an appearance in The Dead Zone, created by the late Michael Piller.
"Greg, who's my oldest friend since kindergarten, is someone who -- I love working with Greg. He's my good luck charm," hearts J.J. at Zap2It.
The betting odds are in favor of Grunberg gearing up to flesh out the cast of Star Trek XI, an enterprise that has already extracted his exhilaration: "I hope [J.J.] gives me a great role in that," enthuses Grunberg. "I would love it" (story).
Officially, Paramount is saying that the Daily Variety (story) jumped the gun and announced the Trek deal a bit too early, reports IESB. "Before J.J. gets on the phone, journalists are warned not to ask about Star Trek." Undaunted, our peripatetic pen-pals at IESB caught Grunberg at the 2006 Saturn Awards, where their Q&A wormholed from NBC pilot Heroes to ST:XI...
IESB: So, if [Abrams] calls and says he wants you in Star Trek...
Grunberg: I have to see... check my schedule. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?! I'd love to be in that movie.
IESB: Here's a question: Are you a Star Trek fan, originally?
GG: I'm not a Star Trek fanatic, but I sure... I enjoy the series. I mean, you know, I enjoy the show.
IESB: So, you wouldn't object to recasting Kirk and Spock, like that rumor was saying, going around?
GG: Well, they have to -- we're going back in time. I think it's like the beginnings, it's when they were young, so they're going to have to. I just think it's interesting: J.J., you know, here he is, he took the Mission Impossible franchise and humanized it -- and I think he's going to do the same thing, you know, for Star Trek, certainly. And he's writing with Alex [Kurtzman] and Bob [Orci], I mean, they all wrote Mission together. It's going to be incredible. You know it's going to be great. I think that's what's going to reinvigorate -- you know, the Star Trek fans are gonna go see it; half of them are going to hate the fact that they're bringing them back, and half are going to love it. But, J.J.'s just going to bring in a whole new audience, you know, to it.
