16 Jun 2010: 10 Things You Need To Know About Eliot Spencer
by Rose
Catch up with the evolution of Christian Kane's character with this handy guide before Season Three premieres June 20 @ 9:00 pm PT on TNT
Christian Kane was already a popular figure among television fans from his stint on the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER spinoff ANGEL and his subsequent work in film and TV. But he took another step toward securing his popularity by playing the tough guy on LEVERAGE. His character of Eliot Spencer is one dude you do not want to cross or make angry as he’s libel to drop you in a few seconds. Here’s what you need to know about Eliot.
1) He’s the muscle. When the job calls for someone to get knocked out, taken out, beat up or in any other way manhandled, Eliot is the man to call. The guy is good at what he does. He doesn’t use a weapon, just his bare hands and he’s equally as quick. But Eliot is also great at playing a role if needed. He’ll be a boxer, a sports star or security guard. Whatever takes, Eliot is usually up for the task (even if he’ll complain all the way about it).
2) He can’t be beat. One of the things that makes Eliot so damn good is that the guy never loses. Put up against one, two, even three opponents and he’ll drop them all the same. In the Season One finale it looked as though he had come across someone that would best him in combat but in the end Eliot got the upper hand and ended up on the winning side. Usually, however, the battles aren’t even close as Eliot will just take them out easily.

Well, my crossword idea failed... I am working on a fan interactive area to the site which will have crossword puzzles to play, and that gave me the idea to do it for the giveaway, but couldn't get the program I use to create an online version that didn't give away the answers. So instead, I decided that we'd do:
