Ever since Landon Liboiron landed one of the lead roles in the highly anticipated television show Terra Nova, fans have been predicting that he will be the next Degrassi cast member to make it big. Frequently compared to other former Degrassi students like Aubrey Graham, Nina Dobrev, and Shenae Grimes, Landon seems poised to make his mark in Hollywood.
Terra Nova is set to premiere this Monday on Fox, and the early reviews have been mixed. It’s going to be interesting to see if the show is able to keep up with its own hype. Nonetheless, Landon is definitely getting a lot of exposure. He describes his character on the show as a “quintessential boy dreaming of independence.” Landon explains: “He is the only one (in the family) not excited about going back to Terra Nova, because he has this beautiful girlfriend in the future that he does not want to leave. But it was either give up his girlfriend or give up his family … And then he is opened up to this crazy, vast new world, you know, that he really didn’t think was possible. And it really becomes the story of a boy turning into man and having to deal with larger responsibilities greater than he ever imagined.” [Source]
Sounds interesting! I’m sure that all Degrassi fans will be tuning in on Monday night to see how Landon does. Terra Nova airs at 8pm on Fox.
