Updated March 21st, 2013, the night 1×07 Out of the Past aired.
I only saw Louis Ferreira’s Col. Young once on location for Stargate Universe (SGU), so I didn’t recognize Ferreira on a wet Friday night more than a week ago as Vancouver detective Oscar Vega for midseason CTV series Motive. I should have known from Kristin Lehman’s laughter who her detective partner is. Ferreira is known for serious, dramatic and sometimes psychotic roles but is a crazy, wild, hilarious cutup of a guy out of character.
Motive filmed its crime scene in the rain at the corner of Howe and Nelson in the Ash Market with prop Metro Police cars flashing (not with actual Vancouver Police decals like Continuum uses). The show’s twist is to reveal the killer at the start of each episode and then let us follow along the detectives’ efforts to solve the murder and uncover the reasons behind it.
Kristin Lehman from The Killing is the lead as “feisty female Vancouver detective” Angie Flynn, a divorced, single Mom solving murders on a series populated with other Canadian actors. In fact, Peter Kelamis just tweeted he has been cast as a guest actor so we can look forward to an SGU Brody-Col. Young reunion on screen sometime in 2013.
Angie Flynn’s signature car – 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst
Motive’s 13-episode first season is expected to premiere in early 2013 on CTV.

Hello Susan,
Thanks for the great pictures of Louis! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve posted a link to this page on Ferreira Fest, the Official Louis Ferreira Fanclub, and I also re-tweeted your note on Twitter. We are @FerreiraFest. Looking forward to many more great photos, and best wishes for your work!
I saw Louis Ferreira and Kristin Lehman filming a scene on the corner of Franklin St & Salsbury Drive in East Vancouver. He was wearing that trench coat and talking to her next to a Metro Police Car. Kristin told him he had a smudge on his face and makeup came in to fix him up. I took a photo but it was from a distance and not a very good one sadly. If you look at the left side of the image (http://tinypic.com/r/343qgk3/6) You can see Kristin, but the crew worker in the vest and turquoise toque is blocking the view of Louis 🙁 Well enjoy all the same! 🙂
Way Cool. Thanks for publishing these photos of Louis on set of his new show, Motive. I only hope it will get US distribution so I can see him on TV again.
I was wondering what model of car does the detective drive. It looks like a buick regal or grand national
Its a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 442
Correction 1986 Oldsmobile Hurst
It’s a 1984 hurst Oldsmobile . The stripes are not original. I have one of these cars. They made 3500 in 1984
