He may not particularly look it, but Greg Grunberg is cool. Let us count the ways:
1. He stars as telepathic cop Matt Parkman in this season’s hottest new show, “Heroes”
2. He got eaten by an unseen creature in the pilot for the 2004/2005 season’s hottest new show, “Lost”
3. He played the comic sidekick, yet still got the girl — or at least the girl’s equally hot half-sister — as Agent Eric Weiss on another hot J.J. Abrams show, “Alias”
4. Dude’s in a band. With Hugh Laurie. And James Denton from “Desperate Housewives.” And they donate all their proceeds to charity.
‘Nuff said.
Oh, and speaking of charity: NBC is auctioning off four original paintings from “Heroes” to benefit Grunberg’s charity of choice. Visit NBC.com for details if you want a shot at hanging “Hiro Battles T-Rex” in your living room.
