LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. actor Greg Grunberg has confirmed his longtime association with J.J. Abrams will continue with the producer's upcoming "Star Trek" film sequel.

IGN Filmforce.com reported Grunberg said Abrams will find him a role in "Star Trek IX" to continue the long-standing entertainment link between the two, but did not know what role or species he would be playing in the film sequel.

"Yeah! I wanna be a bad guy," the 40-year-old actor said of the possibility of playing a Klingon in the film. "It would be great to have some great role."

Grunberg has previously worked with the 40-year-old TV and film producer on the series "Lost," "Alias," and "Felicity," while also garnering a role in his recent film "Mission Impossible III."

The Web site said Grunberg has discussed potential roles with screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, but had no details concerning the ninth incarnation of the popular sci-fi film series.
