Eric Bana

Star Trek’s Eric Bana opens up his iTunes for us, giving us an exclusive look inside

A Taste:

INXS, Powderfinger, Stephen Cummings

Eric Bana gives one of his most incendiary performances yet as the vengeful and nefarious Nero in Star Trek. In fact, Bana gives the character an unbridled, hypnotic fire. He’s played many heroes, but playing bad truly illuminates Bana’s talents.

In order to unwind after a hard day of intergalactic war, the actor often cranks some of his favorite bands. He laughs, “Listening to music helps after shooting! You can chill and recover for the next day’s scenes.”

In this exclusive feature, Bana shared his playlist with us. Check it out below!

Eric Bana’s Playlist

1. Powderfinger

“I actually listen to a lot of music on set. It’s different on every film and for every character. The music I listen to in the trailer is usually the same. It’s always a bunch of Australian rock—Powderfinger, Stephen Cummings, INXS and a lot of other old Australian stuff.”

Bruce Greenwood

Bruce Greenwood, Star Trek’s Captain Pike, shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature

A Taste:

Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, The Boneshakers, Gregg Lee Henry

Bruce Greenwood’s got passion to spare. Not only does he give poignant and powerful performances in every role he takes on—from The Sweet Hereafter to Star Trek—but he also possesses a real ardor for music. He’s been playing guitar for years, and he recently produced a record by Gregg Lee Henry called Heavy Lifting. Bruce also has an encyclopedic musical knowledge that could rival that of any tastemaker critic or indie record store clerk.

He may be going to space as Captain Pike in Star Trek, but he also took us on a tour through his record collection. Bruce opened up his iTunes for us in this exclusive feature and shared some incredible music. He’s a blues guy at heart, but he also knows how to rock.

Check out Bruce Greenwood’s playlist below and be sure to catch him in star Trek on May 8th. He gives us an education below…
