“#’Leverage’ Star Aldis Hodge on Getting Back Into Hardison’s Rhythm for the ‘Redemption’ Revival<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nine years since Leverage<\/em> ended its five-season run on TNT, and it still takes a group of (mostly former) bad guys to stop the rich and powerful who take what they want. So it\u2019s a good thing the crew is back in Redemption<\/em>, the IMDb TV revival premiering on July 9.<\/p>\n

The Grifter (Gina Bellman\u2019s Sophie Deveraux), Hitter (Christian Kane\u2019s Eliot Spencer), Hacker (Aldis Hodge\u2019s Alec Hardison), and Thief (Beth Riesgraf\u2019s Parker) are down a Mastermind (Timothy Hutton\u2019s Nate Ford) but getting some help from a Fixer (Noah Wyle\u2019s Harry Wilson) and Maker (Aleyse Shannon\u2019s Breanna Casey). And with these new episodes, Hodge, who is a special guest star (rather than a series<\/a> regular, due to his busy schedule), gets to explore something he\u2019d wanted to since the original: his family, with his foster sister Breanna.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in Hardison\u2019s backstory and wondering who he\u2019s connected to, what his basis for his foundation is. What is his reality before Leverage? What are his roots?\u201d he tells TV Insider. \u201cBeing able to have Breanna on the show gives us a bit of a sneak peek into that, so I\u2019m grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hodge tells us more about returning as the crew\u2019s Hacker and what\u2019s changed since we last saw everyone.<\/p>\n

Our favorite bad guys are back! Talk about stepping back into Hardison\u2019s shoes. What was the easiest part of the character to slip back into and what was the hardest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aldis Hodge:<\/strong> I\u2019d say the hardest part ended up being the easiest part, which was trying to figure out how to catch his essence, to see if I could be the same person, but still, this is 10 years later, there\u2019s growth and maturing that happ<\/a>ens along the way. So I wanted to see how to balance that out. Keep the same humor, keep the same flavor, but bring it into this era, this generation. After a couple takes, we kind of got back in the same rhythm. Everybody was good to go and I don\u2019t know, it just kind of gelled. So like I said, the hardest part, which was trying to find the rhythm, eventually became the easiest part.<\/p>\n

We watched Hardison and Parker dance around and with each other for most of the original run before they finally got together. How settled are they in their relationship now? <\/strong><\/p>\n

They are together together. They have been running Leverage International together for all this time. So they have grown not only in their relationship with each other but in terms of their purpose in the world and how they share that together.<\/p>\n

How well have they adopted each other\u2019s skillsets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think Hardison has adopted her skill set by any measure just because he still does not like heights. That is not his thing. They\u2019ve taught each other a little bit here and there, but the thing is that they still maintain their individuality when it comes to what they do.<\/p>\n

The original series ended with Parker, Hardison, and Eliot still working together. How much have they accomplished in the years since? Because Leverage International is a big thing now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a multinational conglomerate basically. They have different factions all over the world doing good. So they branched out from their individual team to basically managing hundreds of teams all over the world, so they really just have grown in what they\u2019re doing and how they do it They took the business international.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about the upgrades because the new headquarters is awesome and Hardison has really taken Lucille up a few levels. <\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re always moving around, always hitting new places, and basically having to settle into a new home. The new home base for me was probably my favorite part in terms of shooting because I\u2019m always eager to see what that looks like, especially when we revamp it and give it a new life. The new home base is amazing. I think people are gonna love it.<\/p>\n

And then of course the thing about Lucille that is awesome is we get to upgrade Lucille with the advancements of where we are at now, but we also get to hide Lucille in the culture, meaning that we get to show her through a food truck. When we were shooting in Portland, we had food trucks everywhere. For us, it was fantastic. We fell in love with them, especially on the days that we had to break shooting on location and we could just go run to a food truck. We use that. I would like to think that Lucille\u2019s new cover as a food truck is inspired by that.<\/p>\n

They are down one member with Nate gone, but they do gain Harry. What\u2019s Hardison\u2019s first impression of him? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Harry might not be able to hang, but he has potential, so he\u2019s just waiting to see or let Harry prove himself. I think as people will see throughout the show, Harry does prove himself.<\/p>\n

How would you describe Hardison and Breanna\u2019s relationship? Is it a sibling rivalry we kind of see with her saying hacking\u2019s old school \u2014 which has to hurt him so much? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Their relationship is not so much sibling rivalry, but more or less Hardison looking out for his little sister. There\u2019s a lot of love there. I think there\u2019s a lot of admiration on both sides. I kind of base my relationship with the Leverage<\/em> Breanna on my relationship with my real sister, who\u2019s Breanna. The character in the show is named after my real sister. So for me, it\u2019s Hardison teaching her the ropes and then stepping back to see how she handles it and how she manages. And of course, he\u2019s going to be an overbearing, overprotective big brother at some point, but there\u2019s also the respect that he has for her as a woman coming into her own, knowing that she can take care of things. So he has a lot of trust and a lot of faith in her.<\/p>\n

Were there any callbacks you especially wanted to have? Obviously, there\u2019s \u201cage of the geek, baby.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, for me, it\u2019s just, \u201cage of the geek, baby.\u201d Maybe a little bit of orange soda. But \u201cage of the geek, baby\u201d is one of my favorites and it\u2019s one of the most memorable lines I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of delivering in my career, something that people often come up to me and recite. I think it\u2019s really awesome and cool to be a part of something like that that people actually remember in that way.<\/p>\n
