“Well, I read the script last year in the fall and pretty much by page three I thought, this is pretty great,” Oscar winner Timothy Hutton talks about his role in TNT’s Leverage. “I like the character I was reading, Nate Ford.  And I like the set up.  I like the idea, this guy having once been an insurance investigator, now working with these hackers and these thieves and these con artists.  And I – it was a pretty well-rounded story for me, a lot of drama, a lot of levity, as well.  It felt like a good caper story.  So it was something that I was interested in right away.” 

I just viewed the first two shows of Leverage which premieres Sunday, December 7 at 10:00 PM, and then all new episodes on Tuesdays beginning December 9 at 10:00 PM. The story line is similar to Mission Impossible with disguises and stings to help someone in need.
