I'll never forgive TNT for canceling Leverage, so it kinda pisses me off that Christian's new show is also going to be on TNT. Hate to give that network another moment of my viewing time. Grrr… But it looks like I'll have to bit the bullet because I definitely want to see Christian again. And I thought the Librarian movies with Noah Wylie were pretty entertaining. And damn, does Christian look HOT with that short hair or what? Woot!

Christian Kane returns to TNT in "The Librarians," premiering this winter, but despite all the "Leverage" connections, don't expect to see him playing a similar role. On Thursday, Oct. 16, we uploaded our video interview with him previewing his character, Jake Stone, from New York Comic-Con.
Read on to see what Kane had to say about his character, how being brought into the Library changes him and more.
"My character is a lot like me. John wrote this with me in mind," Kane said of Jake Stone. "Where he grew up – it's not that much anymore – but he was ashamed of being smart, he was ashamed of knowing stuff that other people didn't know." He saw it as a curse, and it could be "embarrassing to be smart, to be the brainiac guy."
"There's a lot of beer drinking, a lot of bar brawling where I grew up, Christian Kane and Jake Stone," he explained. This "broken toy that's embarrassed of who he is" is added to the rest of the team of "broken toys," and they're sent on this journey together, where Jake realizes, "It's okay to be who I really am in life." With this new job, he finds people who accept him for who he is.
"[John's] brilliant because he's allowing you to come in, and that's one of the best things about entertainment," Kane added. "For me, watching a movie, if I can go into that movie and disappear from life for a while? Those are the movies that I love, and he does that with this TV show."
"The Librarians" premieres Dec. 7 on TNT.
