‘Episode VII’ adds Jar Jar Abrams pal Greg Grunberg

Greg

I don’t know why, but I’m just going to call him Jar Jar Abrams until he proves himself otherwise. Do I think he will? YES. Is that going to get in the way of me calling him such until the first trailer comes out and BLOWS OFF MY TITS? NO. Said Jar Jar has added one of his total BFFs to the cast of Episode VII.

All filmmakers have their habits, and one of J.J. Abrams‘ is Greg Grunberg. The two have been pals since childhood, and Abrams includes the actor in his projects whenever possible. As of today, we’ve learned that that even includes Star Wars Episode VII. Hit the jump to read Grunberg’s Star Wars announcement.

Grunberg revealed the casting in response to a Twitter inquiry (via Star Wars 7 News).

Outside of his personal and professional relationship with Abrams, Grunberg is best known for starring as telepathic police officer Matt Parkman in Heroes. He currently has a recurring role as Gene Moretti the Pretzel King on Showtime’s Masters of Sex.

Now can I see a fucking official picture yet? A trailer? A teaser trailer for the teaser trailer? Something?
