In a speech I've delivered many times this year on “The Industry's Image & Its Impact On The Bottom Line,” one of the points I make is that insurance lacks a positive role model in pop culture to counteract the generally negative feelings dominating the public's perception. Unfortunately, the new TV series, “Leverage,” offers no respite for this reputationally-challenged business. (Meanwhile, do you recall the TV show featured above–the only one I can remember featuring an insurance “hero”? Read on to learn more.)
Indeed, the Dec. 8 edition of “TV Guide” says it all in a preview of “Leverage,” which debuted last night on TNT, before airing regularly on Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
In its article, headlined “Hail To The Thieves,” the magazine notes that “uberstraitlaced Nathan Ford (played by Timothy Hutton) used to spend his life abiding by the law and tracking down bad guys as an investigator for an insurance company.”
