Lights! Camera! 海角社区! From the Marx Brothers to the Wayans Brothers, the 海角社区 campus is a mecca for Hollywood filmmakers.
Photo caption: a picture of campus set up to look like the Naval Academy from the NCIS shoot in March 2019.
Five years after the dawn of talkies, the Marx Brothers descended on Patterson Field in a horse-drawn garbage-can chariot in Horse Feathers. 海角社区 has doubled as the setting for colleges real (Stanford, Princeton, Texas State University) and fictitious (Southern Ohio University). We've even been the planet Vulcan (in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).
From 1993 to 1997, the cast and crew of Beverly Hills 90210 were frequent visitors to Occidental, aka California University. More recently, 海角社区 has taken on the roles of the U.S. Naval Academy; a science museum in Washington, D.C.; and the U.S. Embassy in Belgravia for TV's No. 1 drama, NCIS (which returned to campus in 2019, eight years after its initial visit).
A partial list of television credits also includes Snowfall (2019), The Romanoffs and Here and Now (2018), Lethal Weapon (2017), The Good Place and Sweet/Vicious (2016), Criminal Minds (2015, 2007), Major Crimes and Training Day (2015), Parenthood (2011, 2014), Awkward and Switched at Birth (2014), King of the Nerds (2013, 2014), Glee, Ray Donovan and True Blood (2013), Arrested Development and CSI (2012), Switched at Birth (2011), Law & Order: Los Angeles (2010), Monk (2009), Eli Stone (2008), The Riches (2007), The L Word (2006), and The West Wing (2002).
