ABOUT THE SHOW
From Emmy nominated writer Nick Thiel (“Magnum P.I”) and producer Mark Gordon
(“Saving Private Ryan,” “Speed”) comes NBC’s new drama series
“LAX,” which
explores the behind-the-scenes dramas and conflicts of both travelers and
staff transpiring daily at the bustling Los Angeles International Airport.
NOW: Roger De Souza on NBC's LAX
You Remember Him As: Lawyer Jonathan Rollins on L.A. LAW
Where He's Been: In numerous films and on Sex and the City playing Miranda's steamy neighbor.
Stayed Hot By: Focusing on his three children with wife Desiree. "Family time is usually on the weekends. It's soccer
or flag football or just Daddy time. It just keeps everything in perspective," says Underwood.
He Still Has it: On-set, "he is beyond charismatic," says LAX costar Heather
Locklear. "And quite the gentleman."
Why He is Having The Time of His Life: During taping, Underwood and Locklear have been known to spend their lunch hour at
Universal Studios' Theme Park. "We hit all the rides," he says. "What a great way to break up the workday."

Star recalls a great Blair-line meal
New York Daily News
Blair Underwood logged some in-flight training for his role as Roger De Souza on NBC's
LAX.
"Long before I met my wife, there was an Ethiopian beauty next to me on a flight from New York to L.A.," the hunky actor told Lowdown yesterday.
"Maybe I shouldn't tell this story. I remember she was teaching me the customs of Ethiopia and how many times women feed men with their hands.
She proceeded to pamper me and feed me the food, because that's what they did back home.
"It's the first time airport food ever seemed sexy."
Underwood's new film, "Do Geese See God," went online last week in "Amazon Theater," a new series of short films at
Amazon.com
"I play a man tormented by time. It's kind of groundbreaking - I felt like I got very lucky.

Curiously, the actor also has been busy editing a compilation of essays, "Before I Got Here," a meditation on the birth of the soul.
"It's just conversations little kids have where they say these phenomenal things, and your jaw drops,"
Underwood said, stressing that his book isn't meant as an anti-abortion polemic.
"When my oldest son was 4, he said to me, 'Last night, I had a dream, and last night is a double entendre.
Last night, means the night two nights ago, and also the last night before there are no more mornings and
no more nights. That's when people are going up to heaven.'
"I said, 'Who told you that?' He said, 'God told me that when he made me, but I only had one ear at the time.'
"I was so flabbergasted I pulled over to the side of the road. The book is a compilation of these stories.
We have a lot already and we're encouraging people to add their own at
www.childsoul.com".
