So here is the picture of the cast from my favorite show. Leverage is about a team of thieves that con bad guys into repaying the good guys. They're a little like private detectives but then they also trick the bad guys into getting caught or giving up their money or both. They can fool almost anyone and have tons of cool adventures. So basically now that you know about the show, meet the cast...
Nate. Nathan Ford is played by Timothy Hutton and he's the basic master mind behind many of their cons. He used to work for an insurance company chasing down thieves and investigating insurance fraud until he lost his child and his life fell apart. He was basically screwed over by the company he worked for and turned to this group of thieves for help in getting even to find that what really was important was doing the right thing for the people who can't afford to get even. 
Sophie. Sophie Devereaux, played by Gina Bellman, is a grifter. She sucks as an actress on stage and the others were skeptical about making her a part of their team at first, but Nate convinced them that she is great at acting in real life. Although Sophie isn't her real name, that is what Nate knows her as and she wont tell him her real name. She has many aliases and can adapt to the circumstances easily. 
Eliot. Eliot Spencer is played by actor Christian Cane and is the muscle of the team. As "hitter" Eliot is able to disarm and beat any opponent, and numerous opponents. He dislikes guns, but is an extremely talented marksman if he absolutely has to be. Most of the time he opts for his fighting skills though and is definitely talented in that. 
Parker. Parker is played by Beth Riesgraf and is my favorite character. Beth's character is the "thief" who grew up an orphan who learned to steal. 
She is not afraid of heights, small spaces, or anything like that but is awkward when it comes to being around people. The things that Parker finds out of place probably seem normal to most people and what she finds normal may be considered weird to everyone else. She has a unique innocence about her that implies that her life was both sheltered and a little out of touch with the modern world, but it makes her character more appealing. Her character has definite "cool" appeal because of the things she does like rappelling down the side of a building or other things that some may consider dangerous. 
Hardison. Alec Hardison, played by Aldis Hodge, is the "hacker". In essence, he's a computer geek who loves hacking for the fun of it and is extremely smart and experienced, but has an innocence to him as he is the youngest of the team members. He is able to create gadgets and manages all the communication of the team as well as locating the "bad guys" and gaining access to files otherwise not common knowledge. He has all the technology needed to monitor everything from their office, but is usually thrown into the field. I hope you enjoyed learning about Leverage and I hope this inspires some to watch it :-)
