Aldis Hodge Looks Back on "Leverage"

[JamesG]

On his 21st birthday, Aldis Hodge was cast on the TNT heist drama as hacker Alec Hardison. "How much better does it get?" he says of the milestone day.

"In fact, I was so confident to the point that as soon as I left the audition, I told my mom, who was in the waiting room because that night we were going to have dinner as a family, 'I got the job.' I told her right then and there, and it wasn't too long after that that we actually got the call that said I got it. That was the first time I ever felt super-confident coming out of an audition — I just knew."




"Leverage" proved to be "the engine that kept going." The series wrapped in 2012 after five seasons, but the majority of the cast is reuniting for IMDb TV's upcoming revival.

"We're literally shooting the Leverage reboot right now," he says. "It's nice to feel the energy back again, to have the old crew back together. I feel like the crowd is going to be excited about it."
