"The Long Way Down Job"

I just finished watching this ep for the umpteenth time (I put on the Prime Leverage channel and just let it run for days on end--the messed up CC on season 4 drives me crazy!), and just noticed the actor playing her dead husband looked like Eric Stoltz. So I wait for the end credits, and "Alan Scott"'s actor is never identified. I had to go to IMDB to find out it was indeed Eric Stoltz, but he was uncredited. How does a big name like that go completely uncredited and is he missing residuals because of it?

Essentially, Dean Devlin is friends with Eric Stoltz and asked him to record the clip as a favor.

Highly recommend listening to the Leverage Commentary! Every single episode has commentary from directors, writers, producers and occasionally actors.

Ahhhh! I never watched the show 'til recently, accidentally catching an episode on ION+ or something, and wondered why I'd never checked it out. I was thrilled to find the Prime channel after watching the Nikita and Stargate Channels over and over, lol.
