Role in the film
Walbridge first appeared as himself brielfy at the red carpet scene from the Walbridge building after Zohan, as a limousine driver, picked up Henry Winkler to his destiation at the afroementioned building, where he was shocked at the actor's hallucination and vomiting from reckless driving.

Walbridge then discusses with is clients about the recently failed vandalism attack (though this caused the conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian tenants to happen), where it was revealded that he was the one behind it. He then asks them about their experiences regarding the foreign tennants (whom he hated), which he was also upset about. Determined to build his desired mall, he threatens them that if they failed their duties, they will be replaced. He closed the discussion by shouting his surname dramatically, as they clap at it.

Walbridge later hired a couple of white supremacists, led by James T. O'Skanlon, to terrorize the Israeli and Palestinian tenants' properties. They dressed up as pseudo-Middle Eastern people while doing it. The massacre caused a very intense conflict (much worse than before) between the foreigners themselves, bickering each other that they are at fault regarding the occurence.

After Zohan made the foreign tenants stop fighting with the help of Dalia by burying the hatchet betwwen his rival and her brother, Phantom, the foreigners found out that it was Grant Walbridge who was behind the attacks, thinking that he's the one causing the conflict between them. The former adversaries then fought off the attacking supremacists hired by him. While this, Nasi reveals live on TV during an interview that it was Walbridge who planned the attacks. Upset about the revelation, he approaches to the scene with his fiance and tries to reason them out. Unfortunately, for him, her breasts delfated from "the Sound" made by Zohan and Phantom, causing him to have a meltdown. The police later arrived and arrested him for his unlawful acts.
