Characters and Actors

Matt Parkman, played by Greg Grunberg

Name:
Matt Parkman
Location:
Los Angeles
Job:
Police Officer
Family:
Wife: Janice
Superpower:
He can hear other people's thoughts

Matt is a Los Angeles police officer with the ability to hear other people's thoughts. However he can't control his telepathy so often hears everyone's thoughts at once. He feels inadequate next to his ambitious wife Janice after her latest promotion and the couple have been going to marriage counselling. Matt flunked his detective exams three times and his colleagues don't really take him seriously.

When Matt makes an important discovery at a crime scene and he can't explain how he did it, he comes under suspicion. Telling people he can mind read doesn't seem like a sensible option at the time. But after proving his ability by reading an FBI agent's mind in the interrogation room, he is offered a position to assist in the investigation.
