Personal Quotes

[On following his own gut in career choices]: I was 18, did a couple of things on TV, then I did Ordinary People (1980) and when you are fortunate enough to be in a movie like that, working with Robert Redford as the director and the movie is as well received as it was, it would be ludicrous to have a master plan for a career. So next, I was in Wayne, PA doing Taps (1981) and then I was back in New York working with Sidney Lumet doing an ensemble movie called Daniel (1983). And I turned down a starring role in Risky Business (1983), even though all my agents and manager said I was crazy. But I looked at it and asked myself, "What was the experience going to be like? What will I learn?" And looking back at myself at 23, being able to work with Sidney Lumet and E.L. Doctorow, I have absolutely no regrets. I learned stuff that will stay with me forever. (Timothy Hutton in DAILY NEWS, September 13, 1998)

[Upon receiving his Academy Award for Ordinary People (1980)]: This is for my dad. I wish he were here to see it.

[on George C. Scott] It was amazing just to stand by him and see him at work on "Taps" -- a real experience to see such discipline and concentration.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND: NATE FORD

Former insurance fraud investigator for IYS Insurance and the team's mastermind. The son of South Boston numbers runner Jimmy Ford,[5] Nate originally intended to become a Catholic priest, spending a short period in seminary prior to becoming an insurance investigator. While working for IYS, Nate's young son became seriously ill; IYS refused to pay for the experimental treatment needed, resulting in his death. The aftermath leads to Nate's drinking, his divorce from his wife Maggie, and his subsequent dismissal from the company. Nate is at first a very likable and talkative man, but is unwilling to talk about his own problems, even becoming quick to anger anytime the subject changes to his son's death. A skilled planner, Nate draws on his experience as an insurance investigator to anticipate the moves of his team's marks. Nate is incredibly protective of his team and will go to any lengths to keep them safe and help the client, going so far as to take the fall in place of the team and go to jail. At times Nate's drinking has interfered with the team, sometimes causing him to push a job too far or reach beyond the original goal. This has on occasion put the client and the team at risk, sometimes straining his relationship with his team. Throughout the second season Nate grappled with his identity of using illegal means for good reasons, vehemently swearing he was not a thief. This in part contributed with his tension with Sophie, and it was not until the second season finale that Nate finally openly admitted that he was a thief. Nate has the privilege of selecting what client the team will help, and he often acts as their direct liaison to the team.
