AND TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW.
>> Jason: THE NEW MYSTERY SERIES
IS LA BREA.
AND THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS
THAN ANSWERS.
JOINING US, TWO OF THE CAST
MEMBERS IS ZYRA, WHO PLAYS IZZY
AND JACK MARTIN WHO PLAYS JOSH
HARRIS.
GOOD TO TALK TO YOU BOTH.
Z, YOU’RE ONE OF THE FIRST BELOW
THE KNEE AMPUTEES TO HOLD A ROLE
IN A MAJOR TELEVISION SERIES.
TELL US ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE.
>> IT’S WILD, FIRST OF ALL,
WILD!
I NEVER THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS
SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO.
I’M JUST BEING A HUMAN BEING.
AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED COMING
UP TO ME AND SAY MY KID FEELS
LIKE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY
WANT TO DO NOW.
AND TO BE A YOUNG HUMAN BEING IN
GENERAL IS A DIFFERENT
EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF.
IT’S FANTASTIC!
>> Jason: THE SHOW IS TRULY A
MYSTERY.
DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING UP TO
YOU AND SAYING IT’S LIKE LOST OR
LAND OF THE LOST.
AND I’M DATING MYSELF BY SAYING
LAND OF THE LOST.
BUT GIVE US YOUR TAKE ON THE
SHOW ITSELF.
>> I WOULD SAY LOST MEETS
STRANGER THINGS IS WHAT I ALWAYS
GO TO.
IT’S ALSO ITS OWN THING, RIGHT?
THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF OTHER
SHOWS.
I’M A LIFE-LONG FAN OF STRANGER
THINGS.
I DID SEE WALKING DEAD, AND
THERE’S A LOT OF CLASSICS.
I THINK THIS SHOW BREACHES NEW
TERRITORY IN THAT IT SKIPS OVER
A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT
COMPARABLE SHOWS HAVE HAD WHERE
THERE’S NONE OF THE TRANSITION
EPISODES WHERE YOU WAIT ALL WEEK
AND NOTHING HAPPENS.
A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THIS, THEY
DO A LOT OF SETUP AND A LOT OF
SITTING AROUND AND TAKES 5
EPISODES TO GET ANYWHERE.
AND THIS IS, RIGHT OFF THE BAT,
NO HESITATION, STRAIGHT INTO THE
ACTION AND DOESN’T STOP UNTIL
THE END.
>> Jason: THERE ARE A LOT OF
GREEN SCREEN SEQUENCES.
AND IT’S ADDED LATER WITH CGI.
>> THERE IS GREEN SCREEN, BUT
WHAT SURPRISE YOU IS HOW MUCH
WAS ACTUALLY REAL.
THE SETS WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE MOUNTAINS IN AUSTRALIA, AN
HOUR AND A HALF OUTSIDE THE
NEAREST CITY WITH THESE GIANT
DESTROYED BUILDINGS AND BURNING
CARS AND MASSIVE SET THAT WE HAD
ACTUALLY BUILT.
AND IT’S FREEZING.
WE’RE LOOKIN’ AROUND, AND THERE
ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STANDING
THERE.
SOMETIME, I SWEAR TO GOD, I
WOULD CLOSE MY EYES AND OPEN
THEM BACK UP AND BELIEVE I WAS
IN THE SINKHOLE.
IT WAS REALLY LIKE THAT.
>> Jason: WE’RE JUST ABOUT OUT
OF TIME.
ZYRA, THE FINAL WORD.
WHY SHOULD FOLKS WATCHING OUR
SHOW WATCH YOUR PROGRAM LA BRAE
ON NBC?
>> IT’S NOT ABOUT ONE THING.
YOU HAVE THE FAMILY CONNECTION
AND THE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.
YOU HAVE ALL THIS CRAZY ACTION.
YOU’RE LEGITIMATELY NEVER BORED.
AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT
STORIES AND THAT’S THE MOST
FASCINATING ALL THE DIFFERENT
STORIES YOU GET TO SEE AND I
THINK IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE
MORE THAN WHAT THEY APPEAR.
IT’S SUPER COOL TO WATCH.
AND THEN THE ACTION, TOO.
>> Jason: WELL SAID, WELL
PLAYED.
>> NO BIG DEAL.
>> Jason: THANK YOU FOR TALKING
WITH US TODAY.
GREAT TIME.
>> THANKS SO MUCH!
>> Jason: IT AIRS TUESDAY NIGHTS
