	concept from From prolific producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing) comes the fast-paced drama Smith, which tracks a diverse crew of career criminals as they plot and carry out high-stakes heists at prominent locations around the country. Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) stars as the team's no-nonsense leader, looking for that one elusive big haul before going straight--or at least that's what he tells his wife (Sideways Oscar® nominee Virginia Madsen). He's walking a tightrope between his present life & the new one they hope is on the horizon.  stars Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Simon Baker, Franky G, Amy Smart, Jonny Lee, Miller, Shoreh Aghdashloo producers John Wells, Christopher Chulack studio Warner Bros. Television

my take The concept is pure anti-hero and looks fun. Do these thieves have an omerta? The interplay of Liotta's covering his other life and Madsen's dutiful, yet frustrated wife should only remind us of Tony and Carmella, not steal from them. I'm looking forward to the heists themselves -- but, on the downside, how many times will this crew pull off jobs and get away scot-free, probably in the nick of time? Fun, like I said, but it's got a tough slot.
