Benjamin Bratt is back this month as "The Cleaner," William Boyd - an extreme interventionist brought in when family members have done everything they can do to get a loved one off drugs and/or booze. He'll get you clean, or kill you. It's that simple. Okay, maybe it isn't - but it sure seems that way sometimes. Bratt's interpretation of Boyd is a man with unflinching dedication to his craft, approaching every case with purpose - a purpose that is, perhaps, reinforced by the shrieking of his own demons from the past. It's a drive that is intense, sometimes exruciating to watch, occasionally life altering, and always entertaining.
Here's the lowdown on the first episode of The Cleaner season 2:
“HELLO AMERICA”
William’s (Benjamin Bratt) former sponsor Pauline Kmec (Whoopi Goldberg) resurfaces when he is called to help an addict she currently sponsors. Davis (Gary Cole), a former friend and fellow program member, is a high-profile national news anchor and a spokesperson for recovery, but is struggling with his sobriety in the face of his wife’s (Jayne Brook) battle with cancer. William juggles the case while moving back in with his wife Melissa (Amy Price-Francis) to create a façade of happiness while her parents (Mariette Hartley and Barry Newman) are in town
The Cleaner Season 2 premieres Tuesday, June 23 at 10PM ET/PT.
I really enjoyed this show last season, I am so glad to see it back! I think Bratt does an amazing job with the character…some of the episodes are a bit heartbreaking though (hit a little too close to home).
