Derek-Luke.Net – While lots of shows focus on medical emergencies inside the ER, NBC’s Trauma is centered on the scene of the accident, star Derek Luke says. TVGuide.com caught up with Luke about how intense filming has been and why he chose this project as his transition from film to television.

TVGuide.com: What drew you to Trauma?
Derek Luke: I happened to work with one of the producers before, Pete Berg, [who] directed me in Friday Night Lights. I thought who best to understand me coming from film and…we had the same goals to inspire. I never felt like I was leaving film to come to TV. I always felt that because the stakes were so high, the part was so juicy, it was an open path to go and do both. And I really fell in love with my character.

TVGuide.com: It’s clear your character will have some struggles balancing his career with his family. Can you talk more about that?
Luke: I play Cameron Boone and…he’s the only guy [on the team] that has a family. It’s something to be traumatized at work, but to have to hide it on the inside because it’s so heavy [and] you want to be the filter for your wife and your kids. I want Boone to represent the average working man and his challenges. He can be heroic on one side, but he can fall flat on his face on the other.

Derek-Luke.Net – San Francisco residents were confused by the landing of a helicopter in Duboce Park today. It turns out that the stunt was part of the filming for the television series “Trauma.”

The show focuses on a group of paramedics as they save lives under extraordinary circumstances. The high-octane medical drama brings together the executive producers of “Friday Night Lights”and the film “Hancock.”

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced at the beginning of March that NBC committed to locate the show’s pilot production to the city. The show’s base of operations is on Treasure Island.

The pilot’s cast includes Derek Luke (“Notorious”), Cliff Curtis (“10,000 B.C”), Anastasia Griffith (“Damages”), Aimee Garcia (“George Lopez”), Kevin Rankin (“Friday Night Lights”) with Jamey Sheridan (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent).

Penned by Dario Scardapane, the pilot is estimated to spend $7 million in San Francisco through the hiring of local crew, payment of local taxes, city services, and the patronage of local business.

Production will last four weeks.

San Francisco has served as the background for several popular television series, the most renowned being “Streets of San Francisco” and “Midnight Caller.”

Derek-Luke.Net – Derek Luke is surprised that word has already gotten out about a gay paramedic character being among the personalities on NBC’s soon-due “Trauma” series. He says he doesn’t even know which character it will be.

Could it be Luke’s guy, Boone? “Not that I know of,” says the actor, who’s playing a family man fraught with issues at work and home.

What he does know is, “As actors, we’re excited. We want the show to be sophisticated, not just surface and one-dimensional. I appreciate getting a chance to see different ideas and beliefs, and the effect people have on each other.”

He wants to learn what is going to happen from the scripts alone. “I keep telling them, ‘Wait. I want to have my own reaction.’” As far as the gay character’s reveal, “It’s supposed to be in the next couple of scripts. I’ll have to find out who’s who.”
