It’s been nearly seven years since actor Derek Luke made his big screen debut in the film “Antwone Fisher.” Recently, he portrayed Sean “Diddy” Combs in the biopic “Notorious.”

The Jersey City, N.J. native is now trying his hand at the small screen–starring as paramedic Cameron Boone in NBC’s new medical drama, “Trauma.” The show is his first significant role in television, though he has appeared in several music videos for artists such as Monica and Alicia Keys.

Derek sat down with theGrio and discussed his transition to television, his dreams for the future and the role mentors have played in his life.

Trauma Star Calls Show “An Adrenaline Rush”
Posted by Z.Marie on September 28th, 2009 · Filed Under: 'Trauma', Interviews, Streaming Videos

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.
