Christian Kane previews ‘The Librarians’ season 2, ‘Leverage’ movie, music tour
Christian Kane is very busy, headed into production for a second season of the popular TNT show The Librarians, and returned from a short music tour in London, heading to Missouri for shows later this month. Kane spoke with Brandon Jones of the Global Dispatch via Dispatch Radio, to discuss his aforementioned projects, staying busy, working on 50 to 1 with Skeet Ulrich, his time on Angel and much, much more.
“I gotta keep going 90 mph with my hands on fire,” Christian begins as an intro to an update on his shows in London. “We played three shows in London. I just had a blast…loved seeing the Kaniacs” and is headed to do Wizard World.
On Librarians, he talks about how “honors” his friendship with co-star Noah Wylie, recounts a successful cable movie with Tom Selleck as a lead-in to “making fun of himself” and “the first day on set I see Noah Wylie doing his act and in his performance he’s saying ‘It’s alright to make fun of yourself.”
TNT hit show is headed to a second season, due to film again in Oregon, and Kane is excited about reuniting with John Rogers and Dean Devlin (from Leverage): “I get to work with the same people all over again and that’s something special because you develop family…”
Kane elaborates, talking about working with Rebecca Romijn, saying “It’s absolutely different (than Leverage), but it’s a different show….different chemistry with all of these people.”
“Tim Hutton is my best friend,” Kane says of Leverage, missing the cast and crew from the popular show and then hints at details surrounding the rumored Leverage film.
Christian is an enthusiastic performer, loving each day (saying he’s like that “15-year-old” who has gotten his prayers answered) and talks fondly of all of his co-stars, projects (like Skeet Ulrich, William Devane on 50 to 1) and Angel.
“Angel is so much fun,” he says, thanking Joss Whedon and showing up on set to “kill your best friend…”
There are a ton of other projects discussed, Tinker, Heaven Sent, Trace Adkins recording his song Happy Man and of course, the appearance at Wizard World: Kickoff concert – Saint Louis, MO Hard Rock Cafe
Saint Louis, MO America’s Center (more info, tickets)
Christian even jokes about getting us some ID4 sequel details from Dean Devlin. Below on the two YouTube clips mentioned: Christian performing in London and the “House Rules” video.

Hi, I am a true Kaniac and am proud of it I even have a bright red shirt that says I am proud to be a Kaniac! I love Christian Kane’s music, and acting projects I have seen almost everything he has done except one or two movies but I will get to them in time. That is for sure. I would love to see him in a Leverage Movie, that would just be Fantastic. I just wish I could go and see him in concert in RL you know but I will continue to live without seeing him in RL. For now. A great interview. That is for sure for sure. Bye bye my fellow Kaniacs!
Christian Kane, an amazing, actor, singer and cook. Thanks for a great article about a wonderful entertainer!
I love the shows he’s done in the past and the ones he’s doing now. I watch every movie. Listen to all his music. Such a multi talented man. Hope he keeps up the good work. And I hope there is a Leverage Movie. I love the show on Netflix. I’ve watched 50 to 1 about 10 times since I purchased it. I’m also proud to be a Kaniac. Even though I have never gotten the privilege of meeting him in person.
Brandon – Thank you so much for the article about our client, Christian Kane. Just one correction… While Christian will be playing a short acoustic set at the Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday, May 21 at the kickoff party for the Wizard World event in Saint Louis, there are not any full concerts on the schedule for the moment. The dates at America’s Center are appearance dates at Wizard World Comic Con. If you could make that clarification in order to avoid any confusion, we would appreciate that. Thank you so much.
