Aldis Hodge Feeling the Leverage Love Here, and Over There

Leverage” costar Aldis Hodge, fresh back from London and the first “Leverage” convention in the U.K., still sounds somewhat awed by the fan interaction there.

“I know it sounds a little weird, but there was this woman who made these really awesome dolls of everyone in the cast — hand-stitched and everything. It shows the kind of time and dedication people devote to this show,” he says.   Did she capture him? “I don’t know if she captured me, but she definitely captured Hardison,” he answers, referring to his character.

There were also funny moments. Hodge relates that he and his mom were in an elevator when a fan told him he had a voice “like dark melted chocolate.” Also, “There was a little four-year-old girl who drew a picture for me. That was pretty cool. That had to be my favorite thing,” he says.

“Leverage” continues to be hugely popular at home, too. With its fifth season already assured, he reports that the team will go back to work in March.

Meanwhile,  Hodge says he likes the occasional departure episodes the series creators have been throwing into the mix this season — including the recent “The Office Job” that borrowed style elements from “The Office” comedy, and the current “Girls Night Out Job”/”Boys Night Out Job” two-parter that ends Sunday (12/18).

“You know, it’s always a risk. I hope the audience loves it, or loves us enough to stay loyal,” he says. “You’ve got to play it year by year. I enjoy taking risks and breaking away now and then.”

Previews Aldis Hodge, who says he’s a huge fan of the NBC sitcom to which Leverage is paying homage:

“It was fun to mash up our style with theirs… they deal directly with the cameras every week, while our job is to be conspicuous, to be the guys you don’t see. The results end up being terribly funny.”

This week’s installment marks the first in a run of unusual episodes for the TNT hit. Over the next two Sundays, for example, viewers will

Mega Buzz Quote – Hardison, Team Leader?

SPOILER Quote from TV Guide’s MegaBuzz:

So glad Leverage is back. What can you tell me about the new episodes? — Todd
ADAM: Look for Hardison to take more of a leadership role. “We’ve addressed Hardison’s interest in running his own team,” Aldis Hodge tells us. “[He's] taking a shot at it and… it’s a very interesting turn for him because he’s never had that kind of responsibility.” Don’t worry, Hardison’s not leaving the team. In fact, the experience may serve as an attitude adjustment. “I think he’s still learning,” Hodge says. “I think he’s ready in ways that he still doesn’t understand, but he still has a few tactics that he needs to get comfortable with.”

Quotes from The Experimental Job The AV Club Review

The other obvious reason that this was the best episode of Leverage in a long while is that it gave both Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge plenty of room to play, while being fairly upfront and direct about Parker’s and Hardison’s feelings for each other. (At the climax, he got in trouble with the villains after the two of them had a fight, so of course, they got to make up in the time-honored fashion of having her rush in to kick the hell out of the thugs who were kicking the hell out of her boyfriend.) 

Hardison’s role in the con called for him to charm the bad guy with his brains and nerve, which, as he pointed out, meant that he had to basically impersonate himself, except “cooler.” Naturally, he was uncertain about his own ability to pull this off. Parker gave him a pep talk that went, “Remember when you took the thing with the glowing thingie and then you used it to kill the guy who was on the shiny stuff, and then, also, there was all this magic? That was so cool!” She was referring to his prowess at video games, but it was also a better review of a good Leverage episode than I’m ever likely to write.

Quote from TV Talk this week: Oregon Live

Published: Sunday, November 27, 2011, 11:00 AM     Updated: Sunday, November 27, 2011, 11:51 AM

By Kristi Turnquist, The Oregonian

As if this weren’t enough, Sunday night also brings the return of “Leverage,” the TNT cable series that got the whole shooting-in-Portland ball rolling when it moved its production here in 2009. Unlike “Portlandia” and “Grimm,” though, which make liberal use of Portland-specific references and locations, “Leverage” is supposedly set in Boston.

But we won’t hold that against it. Sunday night’s episode, “The Experimental Job,” marks the midseason return of the TNT cable caper series, kicking off a run of eight new episodes. The crooks-turned-good-guys are up to their usual tricks, trying to right a wrong perpetrated by the well-off and ethics-challenged. Along the way, Hardison (Aldis Hodge) pretends to be a college student. From the looks of it, Reed College is the actual location (note the “Eliot Hall” inscription above one of the buildings on campus). But this show’s tricky, so things are seldom what they seem.

SUNDAY

“Leverage”: Speaking of Nate (Timothy Hutton), Sophie (Gina Bellman), Eliot (Christian Kane), Parker (Beth Riesgraf) and Hardison … When a group of upper-class college men in a secret fraternity start doing experiments on homeless men, you know this is a job for our gang. And keep an eye out for a surprise kiss shared by … well, I don’t want to spoil it. See for yourself. (9 p.m., TNT)
