It's something that we all built, and living in the wake of its legacy, Leverage, now entitled Leverage: Redemption, 'is definitely something that I plan to continue with, just for the nostalgia of it. I know the fans love it and I have fun with it. We have a great new cast. We have a new cast member, her name is Aleyse Shannon and she's really fantastic. We also have Noah Wyle, as one of our cast members. Aleyse comes on playing my adopted little sister. She's a really bright light with great energy, and I'd love to see where she's at. I really wanna see where their brother-sister relationship goes."
