Greg Grunberg’s new Trekkie role - USS Enterprise crew

by Grace on April 5th, 2007

Heroes Revealed got the scoop from MovieHole.com that Greg Grunberg will be part of the USS Enterprise crew in a new Star Trek XI movie directed by Greg’s friend JJ Abram.

Going way back to kindergarten days, Abrams dubbed Grunberg as his “lucky charm” and has included Grunberg in most if not all his projects (Alias and Felicity, Lost and a cameo in Mission: Impossible III).

Asked if Abrams has directly spoken to him about playing a part in Star Trek, Grunberg replied, “Yeah, we joked about that,” before revealing that Abrams had sarcastically told him, “You’re too old!” Remembering his response to Abrams, Grunberg recounted, “I’m like, ‘Too old? What does that mean?’ And he won’t tell me anything else, and I’m like, ‘No, come on!’”

Asked what role he wants to play, Grunberg replied, “yeah! I wanna be a bad guy. It would be great to have some great role.”
