My Take
Greg Grunberg is one of those actors who makes every scene feel warmer just by being in it — the guy has an effortless likability that directors clearly noticed early on. Growing up in Los Angeles and landing in J.J. Abrams' orbit as a childhood friend turned out to be one of the great networking stories in Hollywood, but honestly, Grunberg earned every recurring role he got. His run as the telepathic cop Matt Parkman on Heroes was genuinely charming, and he brought real heart to what could have been a gimmick-heavy part. Then there's his solid work as Eric Weiss on Alias, and popping up in the Star Wars sequel trilogy as Snap Wexley felt like a fun reward for a career loyalist. He's never been the lead, but the industry would be noticeably less warm without him around.
