'I have two time-travel shows': Eric McCormack on juggling sci-fi series Travelers and the Will & Grace reboot

You may know Eric McCormack best as one half of Will & Grace, one of the most wildly successful sitcoms of the late '90s and early 2000s. McCormack recently reprised his role as Will in the 2017 revival of the show, but before that, he took on a very different project.

Travelers, which returns to Netflix for its third season this Friday, is an all-Canadian production with an all-Canadian cast, led by McCormack. It's a sci-fi series about an FBI agent whose body is taken over by the consciousness of another person from the future.

Convincing an audience to suspend that much disbelief is a pretty big challenge for an actor, but it's one that McCormack loved taking on. He sat down with Tom Power in the q studio to talk about what it takes to switch between his two series.

Season three of Travelers hits Netflix on Friday, December 14.

— Produced by ​Emma Godmere
