Eric Stoltz guest stars on Leverage tonight

Just a few quick updates today.

First, a reminder that Eric Stoltz will make an appearance in the Leverage season four premiere, "The Long Way Down Job." A clip from the episode is embedded at the end of the post.

Here is the synopsis:

To take down a corrupt financier, the LEVERAGE team must recover lost evidence high up on a mountain, racing hired guns and killer weather.

Leverage 4x01 airs tonight at 9 pm ET on TNT, followed by a new episode of Falling Skies at 10 pm.

Another reminder: Esai Morales will be doing the tweet-up for Gun Hill Road at 3 pm ET, also today.

Alessandra Torresani did a podcast for Playback the other day. Keep an eye on her on Twitter for the link.

Bear McCreary was among the composers honoured at the ASCAP Film & TV Music Awards this week, as one of the "composers who wrote the themes and underscore for the highest rated television series in 2010," for The Walking Dead.

And Syfy has put out a press release for its July shows, among them Warehouse 13 (with Sasha Roiz recurring and Alessandra Torresani also making an appearance this season), Eureka (still scored by Bear McCreary, with Aaron Douglas guest starring in the Aug. 29 episode), and Alphas (with Callum Keith Rennie in the pilot and Peter Wingfield also guest starring at some point). All three shows will air on Mondays, starting July 11. From the press release:

Syfy's Summer Premiere Week kicks off on Monday, July 11 with the Season 4.5 return of Eureka at 8PM (ET/PT), followed by Season 3 of Warehouse 13 - Syfy's most successful series ever - at 9PM, and the new drama Alphas bowing at 10PM. (…)

Eureka - Monday, July 11 at 8PM - In the season 4.5 return of Eureka, as the timeline changes from their trip to 1947 continue to surprise Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), Henry Deacon (Joe Morton), Jo Lupo (Erica Cerra) and Douglas Fargo (Neil Grayston), an accident of astronomical proportions is the impetus for Global Dynamic's most ambitious project yet. With the entire town rallying to go where no man has gone before and pitting scientist against scientist, our heroes' new relationships are tested when secrets begin to surface, the competition grows fierce and darker forces threaten to bring everyone down should they fail. Niall Matter also stars as Zane Donovan. (...)

Warehouse 13 - Monday, July 11 at 9PM - Warehouse 13 returns for a third season with a key question looming from the gripping season two finale: has Myka (Joanne Kelly) left the Warehouse team for good? Joining the Warehouse is Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore, Smallville), an ATF agent with an innate ability to detect when someone's lying. Warehouse 13 follows a team of government agents who work at a massive, top-secret storage facility in South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), Myka Bering (Kelly) and young apprentice Claudia Donovan (Allison Scagliotti) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache. (…)

Alphas - Series Premiere Monday, July 11 at 10PM - Alphas follows a clandestine group of average everyday citizens with amazing abilities operating within the U.S. Department of Defense. Led by preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Lee Rosen (Emmy Award-winner and Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn), the team investigates cases that point to others with abilities like theirs, and as they work against the clock to solve this new brand of crime, they must prevent their own personality differences and disparate backgrounds from interfering with their missions.
