TheWrap: I would love to know a little bit about how this role came about and how secretive it was. Was it a blind audition?Raymond Lee: It was not a blind audition. It wasn’t so secretive in the sense that I was given the pilot script to read first.
So, I was pretty well-versed into what I was getting myself into. And as far as the audition is concerned, I had to audition for the network and the studio, and it was a character that I felt kind of close to. So, the pressure was off in terms of if I needed to be somebody else, other than to be a physicist, which I’m not.
The person felt close enough to me where I’m like, maybe I just have to be myself.Why did you feel close to Ben Song?Just because it’s a fish out of water story, and I’ve always felt like a fish out of water in a lot of situations and I’ve always had to, you know, understand my surroundings and get better at knowing my surroundings and I just understood. I understood even though I’ve never had my memory wiped clean, I could understand what it’s like to just like, learn everything from scratch, which I love doing.What do you mean, you feel like a fish out of water?Fish out of water in every sense. Like, I love learning things I don’t know.
My favorite thing is to like, throw myself into a hobby where I have no business on a rock climbing wall. I’ll figure it out. [At] first, you’re always tense because you don’t know what you’re doing, and then you figure out how to relax in those situations.
And when that happens, I get like a euphoric burst of serotonin surges that happen. I’m just like, ‘Oh, my God, I know how to do this.’ … And there are moments in the script, repeatedly, where Dr. Ben Song goes, ‘I know this.

! Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas are set to guest star in an upcoming episode of the NBC reboot, which stars Raymond Lee.The real-life couple will appear in episode 4 of the freshman sci-fi drama, which is set to air Oct. 10.The episode, titled “A Decent Proposal,” follows Ben (Lee) as he leaps to 1980s Los Angeles and into the body of Eva Sandoval, a no-nonsense bounty hunter in the midst of securing an elusive target.
Real-life couple Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas are headed to “Quantum Leap.”The pair, who worked together on “Young and the Restless” and Hartley’s show “This Is Us,” will guest star on the NBC sci-fi series.Hartley and Pernas will appear in the fourth episode of the season, titled “A Decent Proposal.” It will follow Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) “as he leaps to 1980’s Los Angeles and into the body of Eva Sandoval, a no-nonsense bounty hunter in the midst of securing an elusive target.
“Outlander” and “La Brea” — but NBC’s reboot of “Quantum Leap” doesn’t quite capture the spirit of its predecessor.That series aired for five seasons (1989-93) on NBC with stars Scott Bakula as time-jumping Dr. Sam Beckett and Dean Stockwell as Al, the cigar-chomping wiseguy hologram tasked with guiding Sam through his tricky missions after assuming someone else’s identity — and saving the day — as he bounced back and forth in time.This new version of “Quantum Leap” references the original show — both Bakula and Stockwell are seen, though not as in-the-flesh characters, and the series opener is dedicated to Stockwell, who died last November.
is taking a leap into the modern day with NBC's update of the classic '90s sci-fi action drama.The new series picks up nearly three decades after Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and disappeared, never returning home. A new team, led by physicist Ben Seong ('s Raymond Lee), has been brought together to restart that same project with the aim to understand the mysteries behind the accelerator and Beckett.
Joshua Alston Among the entries in television’s recent reboot gold rush, “Quantum Leap,” NBC’s revival of its early-‘90s sci-fi drama, is arguably the series most deserving of a contemporary reimagining. That’s not because “Leap” was a blockbuster. It performed modestly enough to be considered a cult series by the standards of its era, clawing its way to just shy of 100 episodes across five seasons. But the high-concept hook is no less potent now than during the show’s heyday. The original found Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula), a gifted physicist, desperate to save the time-travel technology he’s been building on the government’s dime with too little to show for it. To prove his concept and save the project, Beckett tests the technology on himself to spectacular, if inconvenient results. Beckett can indeed hurl himself to and fro about the space-time continuum, but each “leap” plops him into the consciousness of a random person facing a consequential challenge. Once he solves the problems of his latest protagonist, he leaps again, each time hoping to land back in his own timeline.
“Quantum Leap” has entered the “Peak TV” era of television, but while the new NBC reboot gets off to a shaky start, there’s reason to believe this new version is still worthwhile.Airing from 1989 to 1993, NBC’s original “Quantum Leap,” starred Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a scientist who has invented time travel (via his secret project, Project Quantum Leap) and ends up getting trapped in time as a result of it.
Kate Winslet was taken to the hospital after she suffered an accident while filming LEE in Croatia. The Oscar-winning actor fell while on the set of the movie and a rep for the star is offering an update on her health condition.
Scott Bakula is putting an end to speculation that fans may see him reprise his role as Sam Beckett in NBC’s “Quantum Leap” reboot.
Scott Bakula starred in all five seasons of the original Quantum Leap series, but he has “no involvement” in the upcoming reboot that premieres on NBC next week.
EJ Panaligan editor Scott Bakula, who famously played Dr. Sam Beckett on the 1989 original series “Quantum Leap,” posted a statement on Instagram which confirmed his lack of involvement in the upcoming NBC reboot series. “Here’s the simple version of what’s going on with the Quantum Leap reboot and me: I have no connection with the new show, either in front of the camera or behind it,” Bakula’s Instagram post reads. Speculation about Bakula’s involvement in the 2022 revival have surrounded the show since the pilot episode was greenlit in January of this year, though there wasn’t any communication about Bakula’s role until the actor put out the new statement.
