TNT’s hit series Leverage will go Mambo Italiano with George Clooney's main squeeze this summer with the appearance of her character known only as “The Italian.”
According to TNT: "Executive producer Dean Devlin has tapped Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis." (We're snickering too).
A modern day Robin Hood tale best describes "Leverage" as specialized con artists mete out revenge against those who use power and wealth to victimize people.
Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton stars as team leader Nate Ford, with Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Aldis Hodge and Beth Riesgraf co-starring.
Elisabetta’s character will appear in five episodes of Leverage this summer. In her native Italy, she is a popular TV presenter and actress in romantic comedies and several television series, including this year’s Fratelli Benvenuti.
