A&E launches cool site for The Cleaner
A&E Television has put up a pretty cool spot online to show off the cast of its new drama The Cleaner starring Benjamin Bratt, premiering July 15 at 10/9 p.m. Central.
The Cleaner is the story of Benjamin Bratt as William Banks, an extreme interventionist who goes to any means to help others get clean as he struggles to control his own personal life. Here’s a preview of The Cleaner.
The webpage has an interactive Meet the Cast feature that gives clips of each of the cast when you click on their picture.
Probably the most interesting clip is the one of Grace Park as Akani Cuesta, one of the intervention team members. It’s evident from the clip that Akani has an interest in Bratt’s character William Banks, though the story isn’t explained. Because I’ve had the opportunity to see the pilot, I will let out the spoiler: She and William slept together one time when he was separated from his wife. This is definite spot of tension for William, and is sure to cause issues in the future.
The other clip that definitely makes an impact is of William’s wife Melissa played by Amy Price-Francis (Californication). She has stood by William as he kicked his own addictions, but she doesn’t always appreciate the time his intervention job has taken away from their lives, though she admires her husband for his new calling. Now that he’s “normal,” she expects a “normal” life, not one of a man who is always out of pocket helping others instead of being with his family.
In addition to cast clips, the website also has several behind-the-scenes looks at the series as well as each individual character.

Just watched this week’s episode and the ending song Aug 26th is driving me crazy. I’m sure it’s a remake of an old song. Anybody know what it is and who originally did it?

How about the song in the pilot episode when he is with the girl informing her he need to plan a funeral. Lyrics are something like “Be still my love….”
Anyone know who it is by? Much appreciated
