Jason O'Mara and Stephen Lang
Jason O'Mara and Stephen Lang are spotted on the set of the highly-anticipated new Fox drama Terra Nova in Queensland, Australia last week (August 3). Can't WAIT for this show!
Also seen on set were stars Landon Liboiron, Christine Adams, Aisha Dee, Mido Hamada, Shelley Conn, and Naomi Scott - check them all out in the gallery below.
O'Mara plays Jim Shannon in Terra Nova, a member of a small group of stragglers who are sent back in time from the year 2149 to save the human race. If that type of role sounds familiar for him, that's because it is - he also played the time-traveling detective Sam Tyler on the short-lived series Life on Mars. O'Mara told the Vancouver Sun earlier this week that the two roles are very different:
"Sure, I was aware of the similarities when I read the script. But the differences are so overwhelming that I can't really compare the two, especially from a character point-of-view.
"Sam Tyler was lost and desperate to get back home. He was thrown into that situation, whereas Jim Shannon is hungry to get he and his family to safety and take care of them. Sam Tyler's challenges were internal; Jim Shannon's are external. His challenges have to do with getting on with the day-to-day in this new world, just trying to stay alive with all the wildlife, which can be a little tricky at times."
