24 Aug 2009: Wil Wheaton Talks About Leverage
by Pam
Found this recent interview with Wil Wheaton about his upcoming guest spot on Leverage.
"Now for a little dish on the regular cast members of Leverage, and their likenesses to their characters: Wil says Christian Kane is probably the most like Eliot, since he does his own stunts, and “has the same quiet intensity and undercurrent of gentleness that Eliot has.”
"A fight scene that Christian Kane shot was in a Portland art museum, and they were surrounded by Grecian statues in the buff. “They had to paint fig leaves in the same color as the statue, and put them over the statue’s ‘junk’ so that nobody could see it, and that was just hilarious to me.” Wil went on to say how they “so carefully and gingerly” placed the fig leaves over the “cash and prizes on the statues.”
Hey, sorry I haven't done much around here this week, life got busy. Since my last post I have placed a few things in the gallery : 4 wonderful wallpapers by Morgentau, 13 footage videos from the August 16th Dante's concert by Miss Stacey, and also there are now 169photos from the same concert thanks to additions from Miss Christi, Miss Lisa and Miss Natalie!
I am about halfway thru making screencaps from last week's Leverage episode, and I will do my best to have them finished before this week's episode airs. Also coming soon are those caps and clips from last episodes of Close to Home and the next full episode of Rescue 77.
Oh, please be sure to visit the new site Leverage Fanfiction! You will be able to find all kinds of Leverage based stories there, but some very talented writers.
