MTV Geek: You play Nate Ford on "Leverage" -- a former insurance investigator. What initially attracted you to both the show and playing this particular character?
Timothy Hutton: Well, when I first read the script -- for me -- I thought is was a fun read. I thought all of the characters were incredibly well-developed. I saw great potential with many, many stories for the characters, Nate and his crew. It had an interesting blend of comedic elements and dramatic conflicts in everyone’s lives and in particular with Nate and where he was coming from. As an actor, going into it there was an opportunity to deal with his past and his present and what he is going to do with his life and with these people righting wrongs in the world. It was a great script. We did the pilot. And everything has just come to together so well after that.

So excited for this to come back! I've missed it.
ReplyDeleteTim Hutton was the reason I started watching Leverage, back at the pilot. Then of course the whole ensemble made me fall in love... But I'll always have a special soft spot for that endearing bastard Nate.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the whole crew back in action tomorrow! Great interview.
