Greg Grunberg stars on NBC's ensemble drama series "Heroes" as Matt Parkman, a down-on-his-luck LAPD beat cop who is starting to hear the thoughts of others, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. "Heroes" follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

Greg 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.
