Different lives will intersect and collide in the melting pot of Los Angeles when the provocative new 13-episode drama series Crash starring Dennis Hopper premieres on Starz tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Friday, October 17).

From the producers of the Academy-Award winning best picture of 2006, Crash, explores the complexities of social and racial tolerance and the meaning of the American dream through characters whose lives intersect  and collide as they strive to achieve their dreams.

The drama features a unique group of Los Angeles residents, including maverick record producer Ben Cendars (Dennis Hopper); impulsive cop Kenny Battaglia (Ross McCall); his actress-turned-police officer partner Bebe Arcel (Arlene Tur); frustrated Brentwood mom Christine Emory (Clare Carey); her pre-bust real-estate developer husband Peter Emory (D.B. Sweeney); former gang member-turned-EMT Eddie Choi (Brian Tee); Ben’s street-smart driver Anthony Adams (Jocko Sims); illegal Guatemalan immigrant Cesar Uman (Luis Chaves); and cocky, hot-tempered detective Axel Finet (Nick E. Tarabay). 

In this first clip from the show, what the hell is Dennis Hopper saying? If you can figure out what he’s talking about, let me know!

In this clip, Kenny talks dirty to Inez and she plays him the same way right back.

In this last clip, Inez comes to Kenny’s door demanding the money he owes her for the car accident. But how did she get his address?

If you don’t have Starz, you can still check out the first two episodes in the Starz Screening Room (keep in mind the rating: TV-MA).
