Mason joined the cast of NBC’s Quantum Leap reboot this March, filling the role of Ian Wright, the chief architect of Quantum Leap’s artificial-intelligence unit, Ziggy. Ian’s colleagues include Quantum Leap boss Magic Williams (Ernie Hudson), digital security expert Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee), and Army vet Addison Augustine (Caitlin Bassett).
And then there’s physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), who makes an unauthorized leap into the past and gets stuck traveling through time. “Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leap and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever,” NBC explains in a synopsis for the sci-fi series.
In an interview with RCR News Media, Mason revealed where they would make a quantum leap of their own: “I would probably either say, like, [a] 1920s Weimar cabaret in Berlin,” they said. “Or 1961. I would go back and see Judy Garland perform at Carnegie Hall.”
Quantum Leap premiered on Sept. 19 and Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.
