Packed To The Rafters

Two-time Saturn Award nominee Greg Grunberg stars as Matt Parkman, a police detective and family man with the ability to hear – and change -- the thoughts of others.

In addition to his small-screen success, Grunberg has emerged as a Hollywood hyphenate. He and his partner – acclaimed writer/director Lawrence Trilling – just completed principal photography of the feature film "Group Sex." He serves as writer/producer/actor on this project and hopes to have this sexy romantic comedy in theatres in 2009.

Grunberg is best known as the lovable Eric Weiss on "Alias," where he spent four seasons thwarting the menacing plans of the world's most dubious villains. Audiences first fell in love with Grunberg when he starred as Sean in four seasons of "Felicity." He has appeared in multiple episode arcs on "NYPD Blue" and has guest-starred on shows such as "House" and "Monk."

His feature-film credits include "Mission: Impossible 3," "Malibu's Most Wanted," "Ladykillers," "Hollow Man," "Austin Powers: Goldmember," "The Muse," "BASEketball," "Trigger Effect" and "Dinner & Driving." He will next be seen in the independent action feature "Fast Glass."

Grunberg also has worked for noted film producers Dino de Laurentiis and Joel Silver. Recently, he has helped to develop and star in a few pilots, including "The Catch" with creator-executive producer J.J. Abrams, and "Grand Union" at NBC.

Grunberg is also the co-creator of an app for iPhone and iPod Touch users, called “Yowza!!” which delivers mobile coupons directly to your phone and is designed to save people money.

A philanthropist by nature, Grunberg started the infamous celebrity rock band for charity "Band From TV" (BandFromTV.org) with fellow actors Hugh Laurie, James Denton, Bonnie Somerville, and Bob Guiney. Most recently Band From TV performed on "American Idol Gives Back" and helped raise over $60 million. Some noteworthy stars who have jammed with the band are John Mayer, Hayden Panettiere, Teri Hatcher, and many others. Greg's portion of the band's charity take benefits the website he started to raise awareness and funds for people with epilepsy, "TalkAboutIt.org", since his eldest son suffers from epilepsy. Greg is also the official spokesperson for the National Epilepsy Foundation and EpilepsyAdvocate.com.

Grunberg lives outside Los Angeles with his wife, Elizabeth, and their three young sons.
