The producers of "Leverage," the hip new TNT series starring Oscar-winner Timothy Hutton, were looking for an actor to play an Italian Boston cop named Joey Cospito who gets set up in a diamond heist. So of course they picked Seattle's own favorite Mexican-English-German comedian, Vince Valenzuela. The bad news is that he gets the hell beat out of him (Vince still has the bruises to prove it) and shot in the episode. The good news is that he has a couple one-on-one scenes with Hutton. Check out episode eight, "The Ice Man Job," on On Demand or when it reruns.
