Initials for actor Brian of "Chicago Med" Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it If Sarah Shahi believes acting takes her into an- other world, that's more literal than ever for her now. Seen earlier this month in a guest-star return to "Chicago Fire," the "Person of Interest" alum resumes full-time series work as the NBC fantasy-drama "Reverie" premieres Wednesday, May 30. From "Extant" creator-producer Mickey Fisher and Amblin Tele- vision, it casts Shahi as an ex-hostage negotiator turned college professor. She leaves the classroom when her former boss (Dennis Haysbert, "24") enlists her to retrieve peo- ple so immersed in a virtu- al-reality program, they've lost their consciousness in a dream-fulfillment space called Reverie. Also featuring Sendhil Ramamurthy ("Heroes") and Kathryn Morris ("Cold Case"), "Reverie" isn't the easiest show to explain, the friendly Shahi admits. "Ever since we did the pilot, I tried to figure out what the show was about and how I would talk about it," she says, "but I think I found a way. It's al- most like 'Inception' meets 'Alice in Wonderland,' set in a psychological-thriller context. "My character lost her sister and her niece in a situation that made her quit being a hostage negotiator, and she's re- cruited to work for this VR firm. And that's an idea that's not 30 years in the future; it's very attainable, maybe three years away. Here, people go in and get an implant in their arms, and they're able to create these alternate re- alities for themselves. "Those are so ideal, the people are getting stuck in that universe and dying in this one," notes Shahi. "My character has to go into their minds, figure out what they're running from, and try to get them to come back before it's too late. And watching this woman get crazier and lose her sense of reality is pretty fun, too." Shahi allows "it was hard sometimes to come home and have a cup of tea and go to bed, then do the same thing the next day." Home is active enough for Shahi: She and actor husband Steve Howey ("Shameless," "Reba") have three chil- dren, including twins. "Reverie" premieres Wednesday on NBC.
