Anthony Edwards may be best remembered for his time headlining "ER" on NBC but his new series isn't different only because it's on ABC but because it's an entirely different genre. "Zero Hour" is a conspiracy thriller that kicks off with Edwards' Hank Galliston, a journalist for an investigative website called "Modern Skeptic," finding out his wife (played by Jacinda Barrett) has been kidnapped, He then begins an international search for her and uncovers treasure maps, bad guys and more twisting and turning intrigue than he ever could have expected.

Our Jim Halterman sat down recently with Edwards to talk about the appeal of the series and Hank, who we should trust and not trust on the show and how he's adjusted to the pace of an action-packed series many years after he hung up his "ER" scrubs.

"Zero Hour" premieres tonight at 8:00/7:00c.
