QuantumLeap Episode 4 guest star justinhartley talks blending action with comedy on the show and how ThisIsUs gave him freedom in his career.
In the super fun Quantum Leap episode “A Decent Proposal,” Dr. Ben Song finds himself in 1980s Los Angeles, having leaped into bounty hunter Eva Sandoval. While there, Ben quickly becomes entangled in a bit of drama when he realizes that he’s in the body of the woman that Jake is partnered with in both work and love, and no matter how hard he tries to keep their focus on their latest target, Tammy Jean , all Jake wants is an answer about their future together.
HARTLEY: My wife Sofia [Pernas] and I went to dinner. Sofia is friends with Dean Georgaris, who is an executive producer on Quantum Leap. She worked with him before, on a project called The Brave. That’s how they met, and they stayed in touch. Dean and his wife invited Sofia and I to dinner, and we were all sitting there talking. It got brought up that he was doing this show and I said, “Oh, my God, I’ve been a fan of Quantum Leap forever.” I remember the original. I love Scott Bakula.
You always want your work to be well-received, and for people to really enjoy what you do and get the message. I’m so glad to hear you say that you had so much fun with this show because we weren’t being goofballs, but it takes place in 1981 and the wardrobe is what it is. That lends itself to comedy. It’s a different time. It was 40 years ago, and people talked differently and thought about things differently and dressed differently. I thought we could have a lot of fun with that.
It’s so interesting because this is a show where every episode is essentially a pilot. There’s a new cast, a new setting, and a whole new world each time. When I spoke to Raymond Lee, he told me that he views himself as the guest star in each of these worlds, instead of the other way around.
HARTLEY: It’s good to have a good stunt double, for sure. I enjoy that stuff, honestly. I’m working on a show right now where there are a lot of stunts involved, and it’s just something that I haven’t done in a long time. With This is Us, there were a lot of tears, a lot of laughs, and a lot of great scenes, but not a lot of physical action. It’s like anything else, anytime you get a chance to do something a little different and that’s a little more action-based, it’s always fun.
I’m at a point in my life where I have a really great family around me. My daughter is doing great. My wife is a lovely, wonderful human being. I love being at home with her. Acting in anything, whether it be a guest star, or a series regular, or a movie, or a play, or whatever, it’s time-consuming. It’s a labor of love. You love to do it, but it takes a lot of your time and a lot of your effort, especially if you wanna pull it off and do it right.
