Benjamin Bratt for the web 2.0
You are currently browsing the monthly archive for June 2009.
Don’t forget to catch an all new episode of The Cleaner on A&E on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 (10:00PM ET/PT).
In the episode entitled, “Last American Casualty,” William (Benjamin Bratt) tries to save two longtime alcoholics, an old military officer and the father of a deceased soldier. When Ben (Brett DelBuono) comes to spend the weekend at the shop, William struggles with exposing his son to his work.
Benjamin reads “The Wolf Queen” in a collection of 32 traditional tales from Africa, compiled by Nelson Mandela.
The audiobook “Nelson Mandela’s Favorite African Folktales” benefits children orphaned and impacted by HIV/AIDS in South Africa and is set for publication on July 1, 2009.
Apart from Benjamin, the book features performers like Gillian Anderson, LeVar Burton, Ricardo Chavira, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Whoopi Goldberg, Sean Hayes, Hugh Jackman, Samuel L. Jackson, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Debra Messing, Helen Mirren, Parminder Nagra, Sophie Okonedo, CCH Pounder, Alan Rickman, Jurnee Smollett, Charlize Theron, Blair Underwood, Forest Whitaker and Alfre Woodard, a special message from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Original Music by Johnny Clegg and Vusi Mahlasela.
Those (like me) interested in an insight into what goes on behind the scenes of a TV show, A&E launched a Production Blog about “The Cleaner.”

Benjamin Bratt and Warren Boyd – the star and the inspiration for the show, respectively – talk about “The Cleaner” new season in a feature for Movie Web.
Hopefully, I will soon find the time (and willingness 
) to put my own thoughts together to share (actually, I am thinking of waiting till I have watched the second episode before doing so). Meanwhile, here are some reviews of “The Cleaner” featuring on media web sites.
