That was a part of my life that seems so long ago, working on Angel, working for Joss Whedon and working with James, that just being able to hang out \u2014 we were on a golf course, as you know, and we just sat in lawn chairs for hours and just talk about our lives and catch up \u2014 was so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kane had originally wanted Marsters to come in as a guest star for the revival\u2019s premiere, but due to COVID, it didn\u2019t work out. However, his former costar hopped on a plane when the call came for this episode. \u201cIt was just so much fun that when you call a friend like that, it wasn\u2019t about the role,\u201d Kane added. \u201cI called him and asked him and he came in, and to have a friend that would do something like that, it just solidifies the fact that he is a true friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actors weren\u2019t the only ones who loved it. \u201cWe were so excited when we cast James Marsters for the role, and it was a lot of fun to watch them go up against each other in sort of macho off, I guess I would call it,\u201d Rorick agreed. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to one-up each other the entire time. That was really the most fun, just watching them play antagonists to each other, which they sort of did originally on <em>Angel<\/em>, so they know those roles really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Leverage: Redemption<\/em>, Season 1, Streaming Now, IMDb TV<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
