“The Cleaner” premieres tonight on A&E

By Mike

July 15, 2008 in Television, Videos

With Battlestar Galactica done shooting episodes, the former cast members are starting to be seen elsewhere. The first was Tricia Helfer on Burn Notice last Thursday. Next up is Grace Park, who played Sharon “Boomer” “Athena” Agathon Valerii on the hit Sci Fi series.

She joins Benjamin Bratt tonight on A&E’s first original series called The Cleaner. Bratt is the lead in the series, named William “The Cleaner” Banks, who battled his own addictions after his daughter was born and struck a tentative deal with God. Now he helps people overcome their addictions in extreme ways.

Park plays Akani Cuesta, who is on Banks’ team of people who help him accomplish his interventions.

Below is a little video about Park and her role on The Cleaner. Check it out tonight on A&E.

I mentioned to my wife this might be good and suprisingly she said yes. Now I have to fit this in b/t catching up with Heroes, Weeds, watching Dan in Real Life.

At least Dan in Real Life is a movie...

But I gotta catch up with Dexter too, and possibly Mad Men.

I'm sorry. I like Benjamin Bratt (I even liked E-Ring), but this show won't make it half a season. Even the commercials bore me to tears.

Why must it be one or the other?

It might have more of a life because it's on cable, but I didn't know what the plot was until now. Sounds strange.

And don't you mean, Sharon “Boomer” “Athena” Agathon Valerii / Dean Stockwell's love puppet.

"Grace Park!"

Does anyone know the name of the song/artist near the end of the pilot episode?

Clean by Depeche Mode or Mad World sung by Gary Jules (written by the band Tears for Fears)... ??

I didn't see the episode, but these songs have been mentioned in discussions about the show.

Hope that helps...

After more searching, I believe it is "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin" by Colin Hay.

Ouch. Man, that makes me feel old. It is Colin Hay's "Waiting for my Real Life to Begin". You might recognize the song from the episode "My Philosophy" of Scrubs (S02E13) where it was sung by Jill Tracy and the cast.

You might know Colin Hay as the former lead singer of Aussie superstars Men at Work. I hope.

I know men at work, but didn't recognize the name.

Do you know Joe Bonammasa?
Man I love the blues!

No, not really...my musical knowledge compared to most people's is like the size of a grape next to a watermelon.

I liked the show!
Perhaps it's because the subject matter hits so close to home.
I think with a little patience, it'll pick up speed ;-) and become a hit.
I'm looking forward to the next episode.
