Raymond Lee is set to play the lead in the upcoming series reboot of NBC's "Quantum Leap".
Lee will play Dr. Ben Seong, a scientist working on a time-travel project called Quantum Leap. He uses the time-travel machine on himself, sending him back to the 1980s with a bout of amnesia.
The original series starred Scott Bakula as scientist Dr. Sam Beckett and aired from 1989 to 1993. There have been talks about Bakula being involved with the show, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt will write and executive produce with Martin Gero, Quantum Leap creator/EP Don Bellisario, and Deborah Pratt.
