Greg Kinnear Facts

  1. He was raised as a “Foreign Service brat” with his father working for the U.S. State Department, having moved around regularly, from Beirut to Athens.
  2. He has recalled that he was always explaining why his term papers were never on time and has surmised that is where he had got his training in acting.
  3. When Greg was at school in Athens, he had made up his mind that he would become a talk show host and had even launched his own high-school radio program called School Daze with Greg Kinnear. After earning his degree in broadcast journalism, he went to Hollywood where he had failed an audition to become an MTV VJ. He was chosen instead as a reporter for the channel, before fulfilling his initial dream by becoming the first anchor of the TV show Talk Soup.
  4. He has disclosed that to him a “film star” has sounded like someone who takes champagne jacuzzis, wears a boa, and has a pet monkey and in that respect, he cannot be called a movie star. All he has known is that he has performed in films.
