When it comes to capturing the essence of a time and place on film or in a television series, Hollywood stars Delroy Lindo and Jeremy Sisto say there is no substitute for shooting in the actual location.

Fortunately, the actors get to do just that for their new suspense drama, "Kidnapped," which is scheduled to air on NBC Wednesday nights, starting Sept. 20.

In the series, created by "Karen Sisco" and "Lucky Number Slevin" mastermind Jason Smilovic, Lindo and Sisto portray investigators charged with bringing home the abducted teen-age son (Will Denton) of a wealthy Manhattan couple (Dana Delany, pictured, and Timothy Hutton), while also unraveling the mysterious circumstances surrounding the boy’s disappearance.

While much of the show takes place in the family’s posh, Upper East Side apartment - constructed on an enormous sound stage at Silver Cup Studios in Queens - Lindo and Sisto are also seen working the case in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods.

"Of course it impacts your performance because one is responding naturally to the stimuli of the streets and the stimuli of the environment," Lindo told reporters during a recent visit to the "Kidnapped" set. "New York has so much going for it, in terms of feel You just eat it up; you absorb it I would say this being a New York story, and the fact that we are shooting on the streets of New York, just adds to the authenticity of the whole endeavor."

Sisto echoed Lindo’s sentiments.

"For the show, it’s great to have the New York streets be such a strong character," Sisto noted. "These characters kind of only make sense here, right now, anyway."

Although Delany and Hutton have only signed on for one season of the show, Lindo, who plays an FBI agent, and Sisto, who plays a private investigator, are expected to return for subsequent seasons should the series be renewed.
