Ernie Hudson Joins NBC ‘Quantum Leap’ reboot

There’s a good many of us pretty damn excited about the rebooting of 90’s sci fi show Quantum Leap.  The time travel storylines allow for just about any scenerio.

Now we hear Ernie Hudson has been tapped as a lead opposite Raymond Lee in NBC’s hourlong pilot.

Ernie is, of course, one of the four original Ghostbusters.

Lee plays the lead, Dr. Ben Seong, a world-renowned physicist working on a time-travel project known as Quantum Leap who gets stuck in the late 1980s with amnesia after using the technology.

Hudson portrays Herbert “Magic” Williams, a Vietnam veteran and head of the time travel project at Quantum Leap. Using a bit of politicking and his military know-how to keep the Pentagon at bay, Magic buys the team some time to rescue Ben but expects answers once he’s back.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
