Benjamin Bratt: TV Guide News

Jeers: Caught in a Bratt Trap | Cheers & Jeers | 7/16/2008
Jeers to The Cleaner for being such a mess. Never have I seen a show try so hard to be gritty and end up so corny. Benjamin Bratt's overheated A&E drama opens with a Law & Order-like disclaimer, stating that "extreme interventionist" William Banks is "not a cop. He's not a superhero. He's just a man with a Calling. This is his story." That story includes some of the hokiest dialogue ("Get the team together — we got a kid in trouble!") and worst acting I've ever seen (sorry, Grace Park fans). Somebody needs to send The Cleaner's writers into rehab: They're addicted to clichés. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

I feel like I'm at my best when I'm working, and the lines are really blurred between the mediums. Any actor worth his salt would be content doing good work, be it in film, TV or stage. Of course, the added bonus of this being an A&E show is there is a creative freedom in our approach to the drama that allows for a more authentic feel.TV Guide: Kidnapping. Carjacking.
