PASADENA, Calif. -- Celebrities and Republicans were crucial to bring aboard while promoting a new Showtime series, the show's producers said Thursday.

The series, "Years of Living Dangerously," begins April 13.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who was in Pasadena to promote the series, is among the celebrities who travel to different sites to illustrate the impact of climate change. Matt Damon, Jessica Alba and Don Cheadle also participate.

"We want to break down the tribalism on this issue," said David Gelber, a former "60 Minutes" producer who is helping make the series. "You ask people what they think about climate change and they say, 'I don't like Al Gore.'"
