Heroes Alum Joins the Cast of Star Wars: Episode VII
Save the Jedi, save the world.
Hint: He’s a he, and he’s also a J.J. Abrams regular. Give up? It’s…
Greg Grunberg, who played the telepathic cuddly teddy bear cop Matt Parkman in all four seasons. We don’t have any rumors on who he’s playing, or even how big the role is. All we know is that he’s buds with Episode VII director J.J. Abrams, with whom he frequently collaborates (/Film has a detailed rundown). And one day someone thought to ask him, “Hey, gonna be in Star Wars?,” and he responded “Yes! Yes I am!”
Yes @smgulz it IS safe to assume I have a role in #StarWarsEpisodeVII – If I say more than that, JJ will have me killed.
