The QUANTUM LEAP Series Reboot Will Star Raymond Lee in One of the Lead Roles
The Quantum Leap series reboot that was recently announced has found one of its stars. NBC has cast Raymond Lee in the series.
The new series is set in the present time, and “it’s been 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.”
Lee will take on the role of Dr. Ben Seong, who is described as both “a scientist and man of faith. He’s a world-renowned physicist working on a time travel project known as Quantum Leap.”
I’m not really familiar with Lee’s work, but he currently appears on the AMC series Kevin Can F*** Himself, which will end with its upcoming second season. He was also a series regular on the Alan Ball HBO series Here and Now and he will appear in Top Gun: Maverick.
The show is being written and executive produced by La Brea co-showrunners Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, and it’s being executive produced by Blindspot creator Martin Gero as well as Quantum Leap creator Don Bellisario and co-narrator Deborah Pratt.
