Quantum Leap Cast

8th October 1956: Sam leaps into the body of college freshman Arnold Watkins, a.k.a ‘The Midnight Marauder’, clinging to the bonnet of a car in the middle of a ‘chicken race’. Having survived the incident Sam faces the anger of class president Mike Hammond, who objects to Arnold’s self-imposed mission to stop the competitors from harming themselves, as the race was part of a fraternity initiation. After learning from Al that he changed history by preventing Arnold and the car’s driver, Jerry, from dying in the car race, Sam then comes under attack from Arnold’s roommate, Jack Spencer, whose association with him has ruined his chances at joining the Chi Kappas. The following day Sam discovers that the Midnight Marauder’s exploits have made the campus paper, which serves to infuriate Mike even more. As the two argue, Sam is unaware that Alia the evil leaper has just leapt into Mike’s girlfriend, Dawn Taylor – and according to her holographic associate, Zoey, Alia’s mission is to ensure Arnold dies…
