Exclusive: Greg Grunberg Gets Mega-Real about 'Mega Spider'
On the set of Mega Spider, actor Greg Grunberg was more enthralled with my audio recorder than anything else. "I like your World War One tape recorder thing. This is very cool." "It's like we're doing a 1920s radio show for Mega Spider!" director Mike Mendez chimed in. Once they finally got over my enormous but assuredly high-tech MP3 recorder, we got down to business. Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar play exterminators who have to kill... well, a mega spider. This isn't rocket science folks; it's a big-ass monster movie. During crew lunch, Grunberg, Mendez, Boyar and I spoke about spiders, morgues, and gay porn.
How did you get suckered in-- I mean, get involved in this project?
GG: Suckered in! How did this happen? I actually called [Mike Mendez] because the script was really good. Often, I get offered these movies because I was on Heroes. First of all, to get offered the lead, which is such a great part, that intrigued me and I wanted to do it. My character, Alex Mathis, is a hero. He walks in and he is the smartest guy and the dumbest guy in the room, which I love. I wanted to know that I was in good hands with this [project]. I called Darren Lynn Bousman and asked him about them. He said he worked with the producers before and loves them, and he knew Mike Mendez and said that he is not only competent but incredible with the genre and with this level of film. Darren is apparently a producer on this because he was speaking like he was getting a cut of the film! Darren and I have a project we are working on together, so it was a no-brainer.
So we got together, and I didn't want to talk to Mike about anything other than the CGI aspects of this. The FX play a huge part. This is a character movie, first-and-foremost. Yes, it's a mega spider - a huge, big-ass spider. The big-ass spider is going to be the big-ass spider. Hopefully it will look great! But if it doesn't, it's still a character movie. You still want to sit next to these characters on this journey. [Mike and I] spent about 30 seconds [together]. We fell in love immediately - over our love of meat!
Wow, so between your love, your love of meat... that casting couch you alluded to earlier...
You didn't know this was gay porn? It's a gay snuff movie.
MM: This is Greg's last interview!
GG: This movie should be titled "The Bear and the Burrito."
Anyway, so out of Mike's pocket, he pulled out his iPhone and showed me one of the FX shots that Asif [Iqbal] is working on. They are incredible! It's this company from Pakistan and they are amazing. They are going to be the next huge FX house in Hollywood, but they need their foot in the door. I was blown away. So I figured they had [the FX] area covered, and I knew I could deliver. And then I desperately pushed [on to Mike] my really good friend, who I've worked with before, Lombardo Boyar. He's one of the best actors I know. He can do everything. He's usually the Hispanic heavy character. He can do serious drama, stuff that has comedy to it, but he was also in Happy Feet. He can literally hang on par with Hank Azaria and Robin Williams. He still hasn't cracked to where people know who he is. We have such a shorthand together that I urged Mike to bring him on. He did his due diligence but trusted me - and that was huge for me. It has worked out beautifully.
MM: The best decision I ever made, honestly!
GG: The script is very tight, but in discovering these characters, Mike has been really open to... we're not changing these characters, just making them more "us."
[At this point, the now-legendary Lombardo Boyar joins in our conversation, and the last shred of decorum left the room].
MM: What drew you to Mega Spider?
LB: My friend, Greg Grunberg, has known me for a long time and wanted me to do it. So he told Mike Mendez and Mike said, "Hell no! I don't know that guy!"
MM: Fuck that guy! What's Cheech Marin doing?
GG: That was the weirdest thing: the only prerequisite was that Lombardo have a mustache. I'm like, "He's a great actor, a great comedian, he can do it all, Mike!" Mike was like, "Yeah yeah. Does he have a mustache?"
MM: And he did!
Well mustaches are very important for gay porn.
GG: Literally! Those were his questions: does he have coveralls, and does he have a mustache.
So are these costumes from your personal collection?
GG: No, but I have to say I have been a long-standing Western Exterminator customer. No, seriously. They're not a national company, they are only in three or four states, and they have been around forever. I've always been enamored by this little character they have, the little man with the hammer [Western Exterminator's logo]. I didn't do a ride-along cause they don't do that, but I actually called my exterminator, Travis, over to the house, and he showed me everything! I wasn't able to actually hold anything or spray anything but I faked it pretty good.
Have you had any difficulties working against a creature that, essentially, isn't there?
GG: I did it for nine months on The Hollow Man. Even though Kevin [Bacon] was there, Kevin was green, and there were a lot of times when Kevin wasn't there - I had to pretend he was there because he was invisible. On Heroes we had to do that... actually, on Alias too. [To Lombardo] Have you ever done stuff like that?
LB: No. I've had to work with actors who left and I had to act with a C-stand...
GG: That's sort of the same thing! I've actually worked with actors who have given me less than an invisible spider.
LB: Exactly. Sometimes its better.
Are you disappointed that you couldn't get a real giant spider for the film?
GG: The crew has been amazing and even our practical stuff looks great. And we've shot in some interesting locations, like a haunted hospital called Linda Vista Hospital. If you look it up, it is supposed to be the most haunted spot in Los Angeles. It's located in Boyle Heights. We shot there in the boiler room, and it was dark so I had this flashlight. I roll a quarter because it is shiny and spiders like shiny. We had this fake spider and we put it behind some pipes, but even that looked great. Everybody is scared of spiders. When I tell them I am on this film... you're scared of spiders, aren't you?
LB:Yeah, I don't really like spiders.
Have you guys used any live spiders on this shoot?
GG: All effects. I had a scene where I was at this woman, Mrs. Jefferson's house, played by the amazing Lin Shaye. In the scene, I have a brown recluse on my shoulder and it bites me, so I thought on that day [it would be real]. I had a scorpion on my face in Heroes, so I figured no problem, I could do this if we have a wrangler. It used to be, on a movie, you would shy away from effect shots because it would cost too much money, but now it's like, "We need to get this shot right, so just fake it and we'll put it in later." And that's what we did [with the brown recluse]. So no, not yet. No real spiders.
LB: I don't think we will. Now we are fighting the big one.
Yeah, you guys are almost done shooting, aren't you?
GG: Yeah, but this isn't the end for Alex and Jose. This is just the beginning. We might not be called Alex and Jose. We may be called Grunny and Bardo. This is the second movie we've done together. We're starting to become the new Laurel and Hardy.
LB: Yeah, he brought me on to Group Sex, but we didn't have many scenes together in that.
GG: We are starring in this movie together! We drive this thing. And it's fun.
LB: The great thing is that it feels like a sci-fi/horror flick, then it's like, "What are these two guys doing in it?" We are like the reality of it. Everyone is talking it seriously, and we are too, but we still add comedy and [incredulity]. We are kind of going through what the audience will go through.
GG: Imagine a high-concept, relatable monster. Obviously, it is this alien spider and it grows and becomes this huge thing. But then infuse really, really funny stuff, and I think people are going to relate to it and enjoy it a lot. We're having fun doing it. And we're naked half the time, so there's that.
LB: Oh wait, they may not want to see that.
GG: Oh, that's true. We need people to go see this movie. Sorry; fully clothed! In fact, layers!
You mentioned you were working on a project with Darren Lynn Bousman.
GG: Yeah. We are just finishing the script now. It's from an idea I had. Again, it has comedy to it, and Bardo will be in that, too! Bardo will definitely be in it.
Is it horror?
GG: It's a thriller. People don't realize how funny Darren is. He is an amazing filmmaker and director, very funny, but he also knows how to bring the gruesome, so there will be a lot of gruesome stuff in it. It is a hostage situation gone terribly, terribly wrong. It has a lot of comedy, but then it is very, very dark.
What are you guys filming this afternoon?
GG: We've got a good scene coming up.
LB: Yeah, it's the action scene. We jump out of the truck, and we're looking at the big, imaginary spider.
GG: It's chasing us.
LB: Yeah, and we shoot at it.
GG: It's cool because the spider has real contempt for us.
LB: Yeah, he's been trying to kill it since it was a baby. But now [the two of us] are after it, so it's starting to take it personally.
[We are distracted by a symphony of gunshots going off at the nearby LAPD training facility]
LB: They should roll on that - might need it for the movie.
GG: But that sounds like a kid's movie. It's amazing. Real gunshots are not scary.
LB: They're not as loud as movie gunshots.
It's the same with corpses. In real life, dead bodies look... fake.
GG: Yes. I did research for this pilot down in San Diego. I went with the homicide detectives and had to go into the morgue. We were in the morgue and there were bodies everywhere. All in bags, and they just have them out. The "new morgues" don't put them in drawers, they just put them out.
Yeah! I went to the morgue here in Los Angeles and it's just a big freezer with bodies essentially stacked up. It's fascinating.
GG: It is fascinating. I saw a leg, sticking out on a table, and the foot looked fake. It's like, "Whose foot [bends] that way, and is waxy and weird?" I go over and look at it, and as I do, the M.E. shows the writers and producers something, unzips a bag - thinking it was a dog - and it was a child. I thank god I didn't see that, because those are the images you just don't need to see. He opened it up because he was talking about the fact that, in San Diego, they get a lot of whales and dolphins washing ashore, so they do everything, all in the same place. He thought it was an animal, but it was a child.
LB: Temple Grandin said, "When something dies, where does it go?" The spirit is gone, so what's left... it just looks fake. It's just laying there. I don't know if you saw any of the pictures of the quake in Japan, but you will see some of the bodies of the victims, and it looks fake because there is nothing in there.
GG: Instantly looks fake. I had to put one of my dogs down - she was really sick - and I was right there with her when they gave her the shot. She was looking up at me, and then all of a sudden... you just see it.
LB: That's why [what Temple Grandin said] is so great. I've never heard it put that way before, but yeah, it's just flesh and bone. Nothing. Anyway, good stories!
GG: Yeah, way to bring the room down!

'Heroes' Reunite on 'Hawaii Five-0'
It's been nearly two years since the immensely popular sci-fi hit Heroes signed off the small screen, but Hawaii Five-0 is giving fans of the series a long-awaited reunion.
Former mind reader, Greg Grunberg makes his first appearance on Five-0 playing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who works with the team when a fellow agent is killed.
Masi Oka plays Dr. Max Bergman, a socially challenged medical examiner. Oka is now a regular with a few episodes under his belt, and already developing a rapidly growing fan base with his character's delightful eccentricities.
Tonight the two characters meet for the very first time, slyly alluding to their previous relationship on the sci-fi series.

Hawaii Five-0 Episode Trailer: We're Going Down!
Let's forget last week's Hawaii Five-0 episode ever happened, shall? It was a Halloween-themed mess.
Fortunately, next Monday's installment looks to have bounce-back potential for the title alone: Lapa'au. It translate to "Healing."
It will feature an appearance by TV Fanatic favorite Greg Grunberg, along with a suspicious plane crash that appears to result in the death of a customs agent... until the team discovers she was dead before the flight even took off. Hmmm...
Elsewhere, Danny takes on an orphaned dog.

Just How Mega Is 'Mega Spider'??
So just how mega will director Mike Mendez's Mega Spider be? Really stupid epic mega if the film's new advertising art is any indication. And movie ads never lie, right?! After the jump, check out the full image that was just unveiled at this year's American Film Market.
Our friends at Shock Till You Drop nabbed the following pic at AFM, from which Shock's been posting quite a few first-looks at actors like Nicole Kidman, John Cusack and Jessica Biel in upcoming movies. But none of these folks matter when there's a ten-story tall spider in da house!
Here's another image of the film's angry arachnid in the middle of L.A. traffic. According to Shock -- which offers the following synopsis -- Mendez is currently in post-production on Mega Spider, which stars Greg Grunberg, Lombardo Boyar, Clare Kramer and Ray Wise...
Surviving extermination by nuclear eradication, a horrible alien mutation in arachnid form is now growing at an exponential rate and making its way toward downtown Los Angeles. Hot on its spindly heels is a crack military unit with absolute authority, lead by an obsessively driven commander and his beautiful but lethal sidekick.
Unfortunately for them, this mutant spider has an array of deadly defenses including the ability to virtually disappear through camouflage. But the creature's real adversary quickly turns out to be a hot-shot local exterminator armed only with cocky attitude, some fast one-liners and his home-made gadgets. Joining forces with the military team, this blue-collar hero sets out to exterminate what has now become a monstrous 10-story tall MEGA SPIDER.

Greg Grunberg's Deal With Warner Bros Could Put Him Back With JJ Abrams' Bad Robot
Despite his more recent TV roles, there’s always going to be some part of me that associates Greg Grunberg with his roles in Felicity and Alias. Both series had two other things in common, besides Grunberg: Jennifer Garner, and J.J. Abrams. Garner only appeared in a few episodes of Felicity, but she was reunited with Grunberg and series creator J.J. Abrams in Alias. Now it’s looking like there’s a chance that two of these three people will be teamed up again for another TV project.
According to Deadline, Grunberg has signed a talent holding deal with Warner Bros Television, which will have him starring in a comedy or drama for the studio, possibly as soon as next season. As Deadline notes, Warner Bros is where J.J. Abrams is set up, which was a factor for Grunberg’s deal.
Abrams’ production company Bad Robot is set to make a pilot for NBC, written by Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, called Revolution. Little is known about the project, other than that it’s described as an “epic adventure thriller.” Could this be the project in which Grunberg ends up starring? Or will it be something else? Either way, it would be good news if this deal resulted in Grunberg teaming up with Abrams in some form or another, as his parts in Alias and Felicity were arguably his best roles, though I suspect Heroes fans will disagree with me there...Source: Cinema Blend

Greg Grunberg Inks Talent Deal With Warner Bros. TV, May Reunite With J.J. Abrams
Heroes alum Greg Grunberg has signed a talent holding deal with Warner Bros Television to star in a drama or comedy project for the studio targeted for next season. The impetus for the deal was the fact that Warner Bros is the TV studio home of Grunberg’s childhood friend and frequent collaborator, writer-producer J.J. Abrams. The intention is for Grunberg to join a series project from Abrams. Grunberg previously co-starred on Abrams’ series Felicity and Alias as well as on Abrams’ pilot for ABC The Catch. Grunberg also did cameos in the pilot for Abrams’ ABC series Lost and the Abrams-directed features Mission: Impossible III and Star Trek, where he provided the voice of Kirk’s stepfather. So far this season, Abrams’ WBTV-based Bad Robot has landed a pilot production commitment from NBC for epic adventure thriller Revolution penned by Supernatural creator Eric Kripke. A potential gig on that project would reunite Grunberg with NBC, where he co-starred on two back-to-back series, Heroes and Love Bites. In case Grunberg does not join an Abrams project as intended, WBTV is expected to cast him in another studio pilot for next season. Grunberg, repped by ICM and Thruline, recently toplined the A&E pilot Big Mike.Source: Deadline

Mega Spider Update; First Look at Greg Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar in Character!
As reported previously, production has begun on the sci-fi actioner Mega Spider. The film, described as a “Tremors-style creature feature about a towering mutant arachnid on an 8-legged rampage across Los Angeles,” is being directed by Mike Mendez (The Gravedancers) and was written by Gregory Gieras (Dark Island). Shooting began September 6th, and if you're interested in being an extra, read on because we have all the details, but act fast - the deadline is September 15th.
The project first generated press when it was announced that willing participants could be terrorized on camera by contacting iwanttobesquashedbymegaspider@yahoo.com. Since then hundreds of extras have participated in the on-screen mayhem with requests being accepted until September 15th, 2011.
From the Press Release:
Battling the beast are Greg Grunberg ("Heroes", "Alias") and Lombardo Boyar ("The Bernie Mac Show") (pictured below), who star as Alex, an exterminator, and Jose, his security guard sidekick, respectively. The unlikely heroes team up with an elite military unit that includes genre vets Clare Kramer (The Gravedancers) and Ray Wise (X-Men: First Class, "Twin Peaks").Mendez explains what drew him to the project: "The script was hilarious, and as we got into the creature design and the casting, we had one objective in mind: fun! I love the tone of this movie and think audiences are going to have a wild time.”
Greg Grunberg couldn’t agree more: “They say never work with animals and babies; I want to add giant spiders to that list. Having such a blast, laughing every day, and yet the movie is scary as shit!”
The film is being produced by Patrick Ewald and Shaked Berenson of worldwide sales and financing outfit Epic Pictures Group (Darren Lynn Bousman’s 11-11-11) along with Travis Stevens of Snowfort Pictures (A Horrible Way to Die) and Klaus von Sayn-Wittgenstein of Wittgenstein Ventures. Epic Pictures Group will handle worldwide sales.
"We have a phenomenal cast, interesting characters, and an amazing VFX team. Mike is going to knock this one out of the park," says Shaked Berenson of Epic Pictures Group. Ewald adds, “This creature is bigger than King Kong, deadlier than the Alien Queen, and has the burning vengeance of a betrayed woman. Mega Spider is a flaming, flashing, crashing blow-'em-up movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.”
Snowfort’s Travis Stevens sums it up as follows: “This is a movie about killing a big-ass bug. There’s a lunacy to the concept that we’re really having fun with. You look at classics like Tremors or Starship Troopers, and the humor is just as important as the mayhem. I think we’re finding a great balance between the two.”
Synopsis
Surviving extermination by nuclear eradication, a horrible alien mutation in arachnid form is now growing at an exponential rate and making its way toward downtown Los Angeles. Hot on its spindly heels is a crack military unit with absolute authority, led by an obsessively driven commander and his beautiful but lethal sidekick. Unfortunately for them, this mutant spider has an array of deadly defenses including the ability to virtually disappear through camouflage.

Hawaii Five-O Season 2 Spoiler: Greg Grunberg as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent
Greg Grunberg is really busy this fall as he is set to appear on Hawaii Five-O season 2.
The former Heroes star will be reunited with Masi Oka on at least one episode in November, as TV Line reports Grunberg will portray an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent based out of Honolulu.
“He has worked with Five-0 team member Lori Weston (new regular Lauren German) on Homeland Security issues before, so he is aware of the task force and their successful and unorthodox ways of handling cases,” says producer Peter M. Lenkov. “His first exposure to working directly with Five-0 is when the team handles the murder investigation of an ICE Agent under command.”
Grunberg will also show up on Psych this fall, while every other actor on the planet will guest star on Hawaii Five-O: Daniela Ruah, Terry O'Quinn, Tom Sizemore, William Baldwin, Patty Duke, Peter Fonda and Autumn Reeser.Source: TV Series Lounge

Exclusive: Hawaii Five-0 Reunites Two Heroes
Losties aren’t the only fans being treated to a reunion by Hawaii Five-0, where Terry O’Quinn will share scenes with Daniel Dae Kim this coming season. No, the Heroes faithful will similarly see Masi OkaGreg Grunberg guest-stars on the CBS action-drama, TVLine has learned exclusively. Grunberg will play a ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent based out of Honolulu, and whose team’s primary functions are the survey of items smuggled into the region and all Homeland Security threats.
“He has worked with Five-0 team member Lori Weston (played Lauren German) on Homeland Security issues before, so he is aware of the task force and their successful and unorthodox ways of handling cases,” executive producer Peter M. Lenkov tells us of Grunberg’s character. “His first exposure to working directly with Five-0 is when the team handles the murder investigation of an ICE Agent under command.”
Where there’s a murder, there’s a dead body. And where there’s a dead body, there’s often a coroner. Cue Oka, who is now a Five-0 series regular as Max.
“Of course, we plan to infuse the character with Greg’s unique personality and humor,” says Lenkov, “as well as put him in a scene with Masi for those die-hard Heroes fans.”
Hawaii Five-0 premieres its new season Monday, Sept. 19, at 10/9c; Grunberg’s episode will air in November, and the role could possibly go recurring.

We Take ISSUES with Greg Grunberg and Josh Cooke
During an exclusive interview at Comic-Con, Greg Grunberg and Josh Cooke shared what their new webseries ISSUES is really about and why they think it is riding the wave of the digital era and offers a unique perspective on the tortured psyche of superheroes buckling under the weight of their responsibilities and insecurities.
So what is ISSUES about?
JOSH: It was created by myself and Matt Oates, and the concept of the show is that it’s about a therapist – a psychologist — whose clients are animated superheroes. So it’s a live action, real world with superheroes who have a lot of serious issues. Greg came into because he plays The Dark Kodiak, who is sort of our Batman arch-type character, but in a bear get-up, pretty much.
GREG: In a gay world, I’m a bear. So it fits perfectly!
JOSH: When I asked him, ‘Can you play a bear?’ His response was, ‘Grrrrr!’
GREG: And so the answer was ‘Yes!’ We had done a movie together called ‘Group Sex,’ so I was kind of returning the favor. I was thrilled when he asked, especially when I saw the sketches and since Josh was kind enough to come over to my house to do the pilot. It was easy. When I saw it, I was like, ‘Uh, can I stay on this show?’Where did you come up with such a zany idea?
JOSH: When Matt [Oates] was in college, he took a psychology class there. It was so fascinating. The teacher said that, in child psychology, it had become more popular to use comic-book and superheroes to explain certain diseases or issues, like Batman might be schizophrenic or a have a different kind of bipolar disorder. So it associates things, like if Superman had alienation issues. They will get to kids through these characters. So [Matt] wrote this down in his book and he’s like, ‘Hmmm, superheroes in therapy.’ Then 10 years later I asked him if he had any ideas and he came up with that.
GREG: How did you guys meet?
JOSH: I’m in one of his movies. It’s called ‘Wasted’ with Eddie Kaye Thomas, who plays The Incredible Flame in this, and Kaley Cuoco was in that movie with a whole bunch of other people. And we sort of stayed in touch ever since then. But it just came from that. It was mainly just to laugh or crack-up since we’re both comic-book fans.
GREG: Have you seen it? It’s a lot of fun. You’re going to love it ‘cause he did all the stuff with a tennis
ball in the scene. It’s an animated character like in ‘Roger Rabbit,’ but his reactions are real and so believable. I was so happy ‘cause when you do something like this. I had done a game called ‘L.A. Noir.’ I had no idea – and then like ‘bang!’ I’m like, ‘This is cool!’ A lot of times, you never know. JOSH: You don’t know how it translates ‘til you see it.
GREG: Yeah.
JOSH: There are 6 episodes and they are on Crackle.com, which is Sony’s web arm and they range about 4 and ½ minutes long. There’s six different heroes. We had imagined it as a larger world initially, but animation is expensive. We have an amazing animation company called TitMouse that did METALOCALYPSE, ADULT SWIM – they are awesome, awesome guys – and Garret Vander, who did our character designs is great. He’s a comic artist. He doesn’t have a comic-book, but he did an amazing job.So this is original online content?
JOSH: Online original content. We have no idea where it will go, if it goes anywhere. Originally, it was sort of a movie or a half-hour and we decided to go this route because ‘what the hell?!’
GREG: Well, it’s a great launching pad.
JOSH: It will be interesting. The industry has gone through a lot of changes since we started. It was actually supposed to premiere last summer, with internal changes and everything like that. So we’re just excited that it’s here now. There’s also going to be a comic-book in stores I think this Fall. Just one issue, a special edition. There’s also going to be a teaser – a 5-page teaser of that comic coming out in August or September on Crackle.com available for digital download.You’re essentially creating mini-webisodes?
JOSH: Yeah, definitely. These are webisodes.
GREG: The cool thing though is that more and more of these guys are looking for a ½ hour format. They are not looking for and they don’t want the 6-minutes formats. They want more.
JOSH: When we created this, they were looking for the 4-6 minute format. But then the entire thing took so long that now we’re sort of riding the edge of the wave and people are looking for longer content.
GREG: What’s great is these webisodes are teasers for a full episode.
JOSH: We can maybe build on it.Kind of like sprinkling candy all about.
JOSH: Yeah! We have a whole other back-story and whole future of a character. We originally were supposed to have 12 episodes. But we couldn’t. It was too expensive to do. To have one animated character is expensive, but we had more like 8 in a scene. It was just like we couldn’t afford it so we had to hold off on that. Maybe we’ll get there.Can you describe some of the other characters?
JOSH: We have a character called the Bohemeth. They are all sort of similar archetypal characters. He’s sort of based off The Hulk a little bit, if The Hulk was Woody Allen terrified of everything. And then we also have a character very loosely based on Professor Xavier, sort of — but he’s not sure if he’s a bad guy or a good guy.Is he collecting superheroes?
[Laughter]
JOSH: The whole episode happens in voice-over ‘cause they are communicating telepathically and he’s a very disturbed individual. We also have The Quickness, which is sort of The Flash type character who is remanded to rehab due to drunk running and has a publicist and sort of deals – like superheroes have reality shows, if they were in our society, so he kind of deals with that aspect of it. And then Dr. Ted, himself, has live-action nemesis who is a psychiatrist who treats super villains across town. It’s sort of another character who comes into it.
GREG: Kind of a Kurt Fuller-type.Awesome! Just talked with him in the PSYCH press room.
GREG: Did you really?!I did!
JOSH: He’s here?!He was here for PSYCH.
GREG: What?!Yeah, he moderated the PSYCH panel.
JOSH: Is he here now?!He was. I don’t know if he’s here at the moment. But he might be for the SUPERNATURAL panel.
GREG: We have to call him!Definitely. I’m sure he’d love to do it. Okay, we’re a little off-topic.
JOSH: If you’re talking about Kurt Fuller, you’re never off topic!
GREG: That’s true. [Laughter]Back to EPISODES, do you foresee this turning into a much bigger project?
JOSH: I hope so. It would be nice and I am hoping that it does. I would love to have Greg involved more. But I can’t afford him.Do either one of you have the time available to take on a bigger scale project?
JOSH: Matt’s the co-creator and he directed the episodes and he did all the editing for like nothing. He really did it as kind of a passion project. He’s the one who really spear-headed the whole thing. He found the deal. He’s just an amazing director. He is really the one who kind of deals with everything. I was off doing other stuff. The nice thing for a voice-over is you can come in a knock out 6 episodes in a day, if you needed to. So if we’re lucky enough to have some kind of life after this, hopefully we will have the Greg Grunberg ‘Grrrrr’ back.
GREG: You’ve got me! You had me at ‘Grrrrr.’ [Laughter]
JOSH: Also on the show as Side-Car is Seth Green. He wants to become his own hero. He plays kind of a Robin-esque character to [Greg’s] Batman-esque character. But he wants to go off and be his own hero, so he has devised his own costume and theme song. So I think at the end of his episode, he’s playing his theme song on the keyboard and he’s singing horribly and he calls himself Night Blazer. He’s signing, ‘Night Blazer – king of the night!’ And at the end of it, we had Greg do this pounding on the wall and yells, ‘Shut up! You’re terrible. Shut it down!’ It just cracked me up. Whatever. It was so funny!
GREG: It was loosely based on the song ‘Black and White.’Do you have a hard time keeping a straight face when you do the scenes?
GREG: Oh, yeah! You know what? What is funny is the tone. I immediately went to this place with a deep voice and I’m going to do my voice like this like Batman, and he’s like, ‘It’s just you and you’re talking and stuff.’ But then when the issue is pressed – he confronts me about my parents and past and really what is at the root of all this and my voice gets deep. That’s his wall, ‘cause I’m going to my superhero place where it is safe. Just like Christian Bale
, all whispery.
JOSH: It was such a fun thing. Everyone was so great. I’ll tell you the cast — it’s this lovely gentleman right here [indicating Greg], Seth Green as Side-Car, Eddie Kaye Thomas who plays the Incredible Flame, Rob Riggle as Captain Magnificent, Ron Livingston as Agent Nothing, Eric Stonestreet as K-9.You must have a wish list of actors who you’d like to have work on the show.
JOSH: The Quickness who I always imagined JD Smooth. That guy is so funny. We never actually got to that stage ‘cause that got cut early on. We had a female character and then Patton Oswalt would really love to do this one character. But all these things got cut.
GREG: This is what happens when you’re a journeyman, like this guy [indicating Josh].
JOSH: A journeyman?
GREG: Yeah, you just work all the time. Look, I work a lot too, but he – you can call him up and he’s working. But he can just call these people up.
JOSH: I don’t know any of these people!
GREG: You’ve worked with them.
JOSH: You’re the one who’s plugged-in.
GREG: I’m just saying, you’ve got friends. It’s nice to call up friends, like you called me. He was like, ‘Can you –‘ and I was like, ‘Yes, yes, yes.’
JOSH: He’s just such an awesome guy. He’s like the best guy ever.
GREG: Hey, I also would appreciate it if you could mention TalkAboutIt.org. It’s my website for epilepsy.
JOSH: Talk about friends! You had like Captain Kirk, Spock.
GREG: Yeah, everybody I asked to do TalkAboutIt.org, they come and do it and Josh was nice enough to come on a Sunday and it was great. Curt [Fuller] was funny too. Curt did it. Jamie Denton did it. Bob Guiney did it. Who else did it? Jorge Garcia. He’s really funny. He’s like on a subway and he’s holding on and I’m like, ‘You know where you’re going?’ and he’s like, ‘Lost.’ [Laughter]Do you ever say to yourself, ‘Pinch me, I’m living the dream and I can’t believe it’s real’?
JOSH: It’s pretty awesome, I’ve got to say! It’s pretty great.
GREG: It is. Yeah, it really is. Honestly. Then my wife says, ‘Don’t forget, you’re taking the trash out.’ Seriously, this is the dream. This stuff doesn’t matter. [Josh] is married to a beautiful woman. My wife is the greatest. And the kids. That’s the most important.And she’s letting you work on a show about superheroes in therapy.
[Laughter]
GREG: Exactly! My wife is amazing.Okay, so what would be the message you would like the fans and your audience actually take away from the show?
JOSH: You can make fun of me, but actually, deep down, it’s kind of like it came from this whole initial concept which we couldn’t really get to about what is it like to be a normal guy living in a world with these demi-gods that can do things. What would that be like when someone like us is doing this interview and then suddenly a dude flies through the room like some evil guy and smashes though the wall You’re just kind of living and then you’re like, ‘Okay, what the hell?!’
GREG: In all these superhero movies –
JOSH: There’s always that moment.
GREG: All these people are just like, ‘Aaaaaaahhhh!’ and you don’t focus on the one who goes home and goes, ‘Oh, traffic sucked because that superhero did his thing again.’
JOSH: One of my initial pitches was the opening scene of the first ‘Matrix’ movie and Carrie Ann Moss is in the computer room and they go, ‘Freeze!’ I always imagine that after she leaps up and everything, one of those cops goes home and he’s just like, ‘The bitch ran on the walls! How did that happen?!’ So my initial thought was Dr. Ted runs a group therapy place to deal with all this crap. In the larger form of the show, that is something he’d do. But it really came from what you just said about living the dream. Looking around, I’ve been fortunate enough to work a decent amount and do some things. But then you look around at people who are really doing things, like Greg with the charities that he does and the website and everything, and I go, ‘What am I really doing? Am I really anything at all?’ That’s what Dr. Ted and the show in a larger scope is meant to be. It is like, we are in a world where there are people who do incredible, phenomenal things on another level. So how do you cope with it? One day you realize, ‘Well, I’m just not there.’ You actually go there. There is those moment in your life and I think there is a lot of people that feel that way, and that really is sort of the center of the whole larger scope of the show. For right now, we’re dealing with the therapy bit. But if we ever get to go forward, that would be the premise.So it’s like dealing with the after-shocks and ripple-effects that superheroes have on the rest of us?
JOSH: The rest of us and really how do you deal with it. I think the ultimate answer is: what would they take away — you do the best that you can. You just do the best you can and hope it’s enough.
GREG: I came from a show where there were ordinary people waking up with powers and how do we deal with that and figuring out, ‘Why us?’ My character especially, I just wanted answers and I just wanted a normal life afterwards. So it is very relatable to me. I just thought ordinary people are dealing with this extraordinary thing. We’re dealing with extraordinary characters.
JOSH: And also, the heroes being really ordinary people who are caught up in it and probably don’t understand these extraordinary things – and no one ever thinks of their feelings.
GREG: Plus, Josh’s reactions — when you see it, you’ll see what I mean – are so great. They’re real. It’s funny.Are you actually worried now that you’re working on something so zany and fun that other projects will pale in comparison?
GREG: Not really. I’m on BIG MIKE, which is an awesome show.
JOSH: Anything can be zany in a way and that’s pretty awesome.
GREG: At the end of the day, I want to laugh. I want it to be zany and funny. HEROES was always like, ‘It’s the end of the world!’ and ALIAS too. I want to do sitcom and that’s how BIG MIKE is. It is a sitcom/procedural 1-hour, but it hasn’t been picked-up yet, so we’ll see.So you think they are compatible if you want to do both?
GREG: Yeah. Hopefully, we can bounce.
JOSH: Oh yeah. This would be on a much smaller scale.
GREG: But you never know!An abundance of riches, it’s never a bad thing to have too many things to do.
GREG: Yeah!
JOSH: Absolutely!With an abundance of enthusiasm and energy for their latest creative endeavor, Greg and Josh invite you to join them in the mixed up world of ISSUES where superheroes are just like us and need a bit of therapy to figure out who they really are and what they want out of their lives. ISSUES is currently airing as a 6-part webseries on Crackle.com. Check it out and let Greg and Josh know how you feel about superheroes being just like us – fractured, insecure and wondering what the meaning of life really is about.

'Issues', Exclusive Look Inside Crackle's Latest
Some web series pop out as fast as the creative diarrhea works its ways from inception inside the brain of anyone with a camera to the bowels of YouTube. Others, take time. Sometimes years. Crackle’s new half-animated, half-live-action comedy web series Issues falls in the latter of those two camps. The setup of Issues, which percolated during co-creator Matt Oates‘ college psych class, is rather simple—Dr. Ted (Josh Cooke) is a disgruntled psychologist sorting out “the bizarre neuroses and psychoses” of animated superheroes. Or, as our own Josh Cohen put it, “Issues is what happens when you take those Jerry Seinfeld and Superman AMEX commercials off the streets of New York City and into a pschyologists’s office.”
Voicing these original superheroes—like the flashing-exhibitionist Captain Magnificent or the blind K9 attack dog—are comedians Seth Green, Eric Stonestreet, Ron Livingston, Rob Riggle, Greg Grunberg, and Eddie Kaye Thomas. While it may be one of the last short form web series from Crackle, it certainly delivers with sharp, original biting comedy.
But hey now, let’s show not tell you what the creators had to say about their series, from pitching the concept to Sony/Crackle, to early concept sketches and scoring voice talents of Grunberg, Green, Livingston and more. Oh, and the narrow dance with Sony’s legal department between superhero parody and copyright cops.

Psych Exclusive: Greg Grunberg, Lindsay Sloane to Headline Bachelorette Spoof
Psych‘s casting peeps must’ve read my mind.
The USA Network comedy has tapped two of my favorite actors — Heroes‘ Greg Grunberg and Weeds‘ Lindsay Sloane — to guest star in an upcoming episode that pokes fun at the reality dating genre.
Sloane will play Melinda, the coveted single gal on Missed Connections, a Bachelorette-esque relationship show where eligible men from her past compete to win her affections.
Grunberg, meanwhile, co-stars as Dimitri, the show’s ratings-obsessed executive producer who Shawn (James Roday) believes may be the culprit behind an attack on one of the contestants.
And as first scooped in this week’s Ask Ausiello, WWE Superstar Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin rounds out the guest cast as Mario, a hotheaded, ‘bros before hoes’-type contestant.
The episode is slated to air midway through the show’s long-awaited sixth season, which kicks off in October.
