Leverage: Redemption's Christian Kane talks Fight Scenes and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot

The third season of Leverage: Redemption is set to drop on Amazon Prime Video on April 17 and we caught up with star Christian Kane (Eliot Spencer) about what fans can expect this new season. 

Leverage: Redemption follows a team of ex-cons who steal from the uber rich out to harm those less fortunate, a modern day group of Robin Hoods if you will. After the events of the original Leverage series, the team opens a new Leverage Consulting office in New Orleans and join forces with a crooked lawyer, Harry Wilson, played by Noah Wyle. 

Eliot Spencer is described as the team's hitter. In the original series and after the ending of that series, Eliot worked with veterans and used his food truck to feed those in need. Sometimes his truck would be used to aid in the con jobs. 

The past seasons have seen Kane’s Eliot deal with the issues surrounding his estranged father (played by Keith David) and of course being the team's “hitter” or muscle as mentioned. There is much more to Eliot than that however. He is a very complex character with all these different emotions he is working through. Kane teases that Eliot will always be searching for redemption so his role is to help his teammates get theirs. The scenes with his father in previous seasons gave Kane a chance to flex his dramatic chops. Especially in the episode titled “The Fractured Job.” I screened the full season and can let fans know to expect to see the unexpected. 

What about working on those stunts? To Kane, it is more of a dance than stunt choreography. Something you have to take very seriously and something he is used to having done so much on other projects. 

“Its tough, you’re filming anywhere from 12 to 15 hour days.”

What about the news of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot? Rest assured Kane would love to revisit the character of Lindsey McDonald. And the guest stars joining the new season of Leverage: Redemption? Check out our full interview below for the answers and leave a comment!
