Hustle

Adrian Lester as Mickey Stone

Prior to his leading role in TV's Hustle, Adrian Lester was perhaps known best for playing campaign manager Henry Burton in Mike Nichols' 1998 political satire Primary Colors. Fans of the doomsday thriller The Day After Tomorrow will also remember Lester as the Scotch-swilling research scientist who freezes to death with British compatriot Ian Holm. Having established himself as a formidable force on both sides of the Atlantic, winning awards for his work in film and theater, Lester is also attached to a number of upcoming films, most notably Kenneth Branagh's As You Like It. Additionally, in early 2006 he will begin work on the highly anticipated third installment of the Spider-Man saga with acclaimed director Sam Raimi.
