(Dec. 2008 - Jan 2009) - Hey, Leverage diehards, PCM is hooking you up! Actor Timothy Hutton, who plays Nate Ford on TNT's Leverage, chatted with PCM about why he thinks the show has captivated viewers! Leverage follows a team of thieves, hackers and grifers who act as modern-day Robin Hoods, taking revenge against those who use power and weath to victimize others! We're thinking it will be full of great storylines and action!

PCM also interviewed Aldis Hodge, who plays Alec Hardison the critically acclaimed series! Check out our brief audio stream interview with the actor talking about his show below. Even more interviews with the cast? Yep! To make things even better, we interviewed Beth Reisgraf, who plays Parker in the series, see below!

PCM: Our site readers would like to know, what is it about a show like "Leverage" that will make it appealing to viewers? What will lead viewers wanting more?

Timothy Hutton: "I think the real appeal of the show is getting real satisfaction in the revenge aspect of the show. Seeing some hideous person take advantage of someone, either by denying them medical claim or taking their home away from them by putting a lien on it or an unfair foreclosure or, you know, there's a lot of different subjects that we tackle. And I think that the fun of the show, why people will enjoy seeing it week to week, is seeing somebody helped out who's been deeply wronged. They come to our team and we figure out a way to get their life back together and take out there's a lot of different subjects that we tackle. And I think that the fun of the show, why people will enjoy seeing it week to week, is seeing somebody helped out who's been deeply wronged. They come to our team and we figure out a way to get their life back together and take out the person who took advantage of them in the first place."

Q: We understand that this is a band of thieves basically and we're starting to see the consequences of that now with the team kind of falling apart. What can you do to bring them together in the final episode, your character?

Timothy Hutton: Well, I think the final episode, Nate is not quite sure he wants to keep the team together. I think that the team also isn't sure whether they want to continue working with others. They're all used to working along. And they developed a kind of wonderful family dynamic working as a team. But you know over the course of the first season some trust issues come up certainly in the show that happened last night with Sophie, the team sees that maybe she's working towards her own end and not for the team or for others.

So I think the finally is going to show a real conflict for Nate as to whether or not it's worth continuing the way it's been going and certain things are going to have to be expressed. Certain new ways of working together are going to have to be agreed upon. And the conclusion is a very complicated and yet you know compelling one that will bring us nicely into a second season.

Q: What are you watching when you're not on TV? What are your favorite shows?

Timothy Hutton: Well, I like - I've enjoyed watching "Lost" over the different seasons of "Lost." I'm a big fan of "Mad Men." And I didn't watch "The Wire" when it was on, but just in this past 6 months I've watched every season of "The Wire" and I think that is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. That show is just incredible. I like Tim Roth's new show "Lie to Me."
