Benjamin BrattThis summer, A&E will launch its first scripted drama series in six years. The Cleaner stars Benjamin Bratt (Law and Order, Miss Congeniality), Amy Price-Francis (Californication), Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica), Kevin Michael Richardson (Knights of Prosperity), Esteban Powell (Dazed and Confused, Powder), Brett DelBuono (Balls of Fury) and Liliana Mumy (Cheaper by the Dozen).

Bratt will play William Banks, a recovered drug addict who helps others kick their habits. After hitting rock-bottom because of his own problems with addiction, Banks makes a deal with God when his daughter is born. He vows to help others. However, his means of intervention are unconventional and unrelenting to say the least. In the series premiere, Banks helps high school meth addict Zach, a once-promising young athlete. Along the way, Banks discovers the cause of Zach's addiction, a fracture in the family after Zach's father died. He also uncovers a drug-fencing operation.

The Cleaner premieres Tuesday July 15th at 10 p.m. ET. Will you be watching?

I saw them out shooting in Santa Monica about a month ago, near Casa Del Mar, on a very windy dayy

Benjamin Bratt and the VERY beautiful (and very tall) Grace Park.

Don't know if it will be any good, but I will check it out.

This sounds like the most boring concept I've heard in awhile.

The previews weren't awful (of course, I was watching Andromeda Strain, so....). If I'm home that night and run across it, I'll give it a go. I'm starved for free entertainment.

Go Penguins!!!

No. It sounds like a zillion other dramas and Benjamin Bratt never did anything for me so ... pass.
