Luba Mason to Guest Star on NBC's 'Raines,' April 13

Broadway's Luba Mason will guest star on NBC's new series "Raines," starring Jeff Goldblum.  The show has its airdate on Friday, April 13th at 9 PM.

"Emmy Award-winning executive producer-writer Graham Yost ('Band of Brothers,' 'From the Earth to the Moon,' 'Boomtown') and star Jeff Goldblum (The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Independence Day, The Fly) combine forces in "Raines," an inventive police drama that blends traditional noir storytelling with humor and intrigue," states NBC's website.

"Eccentric LAPD Detective Michael Raines (Goldblum) uses his unique imagination to focus on every murder case in such a way that the murder victims actually begin to take shape in front of him. At first, he thinks he's losing his mind, but he then uses the constantly evolving hallucinations -- which are figments of his imagination and not ghosts -- to help him discover the victims' killers. Raines struggles to accept this peculiar gift -- or burden -- and reconcile it with his daily life."

The show also stars Matt Craven, Dov Davidoff, Linda Park, Madeleine Stowe, Nicole Sullivan, and Malik Yobae.

Mason's Broadway credits include Chicago, The Capeman, Jekyll & Hyde, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Will Rogers Follies, Sid Caesar & Company and Late Nite Comic. Regionally, she has been seen in Show Boat and the recent Reprise! mounting of Pippin. On screen and television, she has appeared in "Law & Order," "New York Undercover," "One Life to Live," "Another World" and "Scandalous Art." Her solo CD "Collage" is available on PS Classics, and her voice can also be heard on such recordings as "The Stephen Schwartz Album."
