Posted September 21st, 2009, 9:09 AM by Alison Willmore

In this week’s “The Boys Are Back,” Clive Owen seems to break from his usual screen persona to play a sports writer whose wife passes away, leaving him a single dad forced to reconnect with and learn to take care of his two sons. But how far a stretch is that, really, for a man whose screen specialty has become the reluctant hero?

This week on the IFC News podcast, we offer an appreciation of one of our favorite leading men, saluting his presence, his choice in roles and his ability to read the silliest of voiceovers without a hint of irony.
