Billy Crystal series ‘Before’ spent M filming in N.J. with Jersey actors you know

Billy Crystal plays a child psychiatrist in the new Apple TV+ series “Before.”

Crystal, an Emmy and Tony winner, may be known for his long history as a funnyman, but here he stars in a thriller — one filmed in New Jersey (see trailer below).

The New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission tells NJ Advance Media that the Apple show, which premieres Friday (Oct. 25), reported spending more than $68 million filming in the state.

Production spanned Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic and Morris counties (full list of locations and towns below).

Filming in Jersey took 71 days, starting in May 2023 and ending in March 2024, says Joseph Marra, a project officer with the commission. Production had to go on hiatus during the Screen Actors Guild strike and started up again in December 2023.

In the 10-episode limited series, Crystal, 76, plays Dr. Eli Adler, a child psychiatrist mourning his wife. He meets a boy who is somehow connected to his own past.

Besides filming in Jersey, the show also boasts plenty of Jersey talent.

Emmy and Tony winner Judith Light (“Poker Face,” “Transparent,” “Ugly Betty,” “Who’s the Boss?”), a Trenton native, stars in the show as the late wife of Crystal’s character.

Her character may not be alive, but she’s very much in the show because Adler can see her, or has visions that she’s there.

Tony-nominated Jersey actor Maria Dizzia (”Agatha All Along,” ”Orange is the New Black”), who grew up in Cranford, is also in the show.

Oscar nominee Rosie Perez (”The Flight Attendant,” “Do the Right Thing,” “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Fearless”) plays the foster mother of the boy, played by Jacobi Jupe.

Tenafly’s Hope Davis (”Succession,” “Perry Mason,” “Your Honor,” “American Splendor,” “Asteroid City,” “Home Alone”), a three-time Emmy nominee, also appears in the show in a recurring role.

Other cast members include Ava Lalezarzadeh (”Big Mouth”) and Julia Chan (”Saving Hope,” “Silent House”).

Two episodes of the series debut Oct. 25 and the rest will be released weekly on Fridays.

Snow Possible In NJ As Arctic Blast Arrives

Snow Possible In NJ As Arctic Blast Arrives

A blast of Arctic air is set to freeze New Jersey Thursday, bringing with it snow and the potential for dangerous snow squalls, according to the latest forecast.

The cold front moves through the state Thursday and could bring some snow showers along and north of I-80, National Weather Service forecasters said.

“While this should generally be not impactful, the snow squall parameter is not zero, so a few squalls reaching the far northern part of our area cannot be ruled out,” the National Weather Service said.

Squalls can cause conditions to change suddenly, creating danger for those on the road.

“Major highways and secondary roads can be coated in snow, and visibility can be drastically reduced in a matter of seconds, creating slippery and dangerous driving conditions,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus said. The best option is to avoid driving during squalls; otherwise, it’s recommended to leave the highway and wait for squalls to pass.

The rest of the state will see brisk winds and frigid temperatures.

By daybreak Friday, it should start to snow. However, the snow will be light and focus more on the southern portion of the state. Those along the coast will see a mix or just rain, forecasters said. There will be a sharp cut-off for precipitation, according to the National Weather Service, which looks to be along I-195. Most snow accumulations will remain south of that, though there is not a lot expected.

“By Friday night, the low will quickly depart and move into the western Atlantic causing most precipitation to cease,” National Weather Service forecasters said. “However, some isolated areas of light snow or rain may linger into Friday night, especially for areas near the coast.”

Temperatures will warm slightly for the weekend, but still remain below normal.

By the middle of next week, a clipper-style storm may bring some snow again to New Jersey.

Here’s the latest forecast.
