Career

Grunberg left Alias as a regular to star on the NBC sit-com, Grand Union. Since 2003, Abrams had planned a series called The Catch about a bounty hunter, starring Grunberg in the lead role. Suggested for both the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 seasons, the series was never produced; however, a pilot episode was shot. Abrams also cast Grunberg in a cameo role in the pilot of his 2004 series Lost. Grunberg returned for the first-season finale, but his scenes were cut for time, and were included on the season 1 DVD set. To those who had followed the Grunberg-Abrams friendship, it was not surprising to see him appear in a small role in Mission: Impossible III , which Abrams directed. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Charitable Efforts
