James Maslow, one of the show's handsome and talented young stars. Big Time Rush follows the adventures of a fledgling boy band formed after a national American Idol-esque talent search, and Maslow plays James Diamond opposite Kendall Schmidt, Logan Henderson, and Carlos Pena. The show will premiere with a sneak peak on Saturday, November 28 (at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT), before joining the Nick lineup fulltime in early 2010. And the show itself will be just a single element in a full-on Big Time Rush assault that will also include an album and a tour.
PopStar recently caught up with Maslow, 19, who filled us in on his background, previewed the show, and addressed all those heavy-breathing young ladies who are already comparing him to Zac Efron.
