Original Heroes actor Greg Grunberg is returning for the Heroes Reborn miniseries!
Greg Grunberg will join returning Heroes stars Jack Coleman (Noah Bennet), Masi Oka (Hiro) and Jimmy Jean-Louis (The Haitian) on Heroes Reborn, the NBC revival miniseries scheduled to air later this year.
Starring Zachary Levi, Reborn will focus on a new group of people with supernatural abilities, including familiar faces Eve Harlow (The 100), Robbie Kay (Once Upon a Time) and Judith Shekoni (Breaking Dawn – Part 2).

According to EW, Grunberg is set to appear in several episodes, reprising his role as the telepathic policeman Matt Parkman from the original series.
On Heroes, Parkman started out as a main character, but in later seasons his role was somewhat reduced.
By the end of the series, Matt’s main focus was on protecting his small son, but he ended up joining the fight against Sylar (Zachary Quinto), prompting the villain to forget who he was and assume the identity of Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar).

It’ll be interesting to see the character return for Heroes Reborn; although the new series’ main focus will be on Levi and the other new actors, Heroes fans will definitely be tuning in to see what happened to their old favorite characters.
Greg Grunberg, a longtime friend and frequent collaborator of J.J. Abrams’, also has a role in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
‘Heroes Reborn’ premieres on NBC in the fall.
