...bank robber. (The pilot is based on a Leonard story, "Fire in the Hole," and Givens' old entanglements at home are a continuing story in later episodes.) As he chases Boyd and his crew, the ghosts of the life he left - his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea), his old flame and Boyd's sister-in-law Ava (Joelle Carter), his as-yet-unseen jailed daddy - begin to attach to him. (Watch an interview with Elmore Leonard...
...likely medalists to outfit with Li Ning - branded gear (official sponsor Adidas had the rights to provide uniforms for medal and other ceremonies, but athletes were free to choose their own competition outfits). It also had a fabulous stroke of luck when Li was selected to light the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony - a spectacle that required him to make a slow circuit of the Bird's Nest stadium suspended from a wire.

Olyphant is no newcomer to the big screen, but his acting ability and future prospects should not be questioned; his performance in the film is capped off by a memorable one-liner that is sure to have audiences cheering...

Governments, after all, are funded by the tax revenues of entire economies, and, since they manage nations, they're not likely to evaporate, Enron-style, in a sudden financial flame out, or close up shop and flee their creditors. That's why lending money to states is considered the surest bet around. Reputation aside, however, politicians abuse their ability to borrow just like any spendthrift with too many credit cards, and often pile up more bills than they can handle. Argentina, Russia, Mexico and others have stiffed their bankers over the past...
