Beth Riesgraf

For me, Beth Riesgraf will always be Parker, the brilliant, slightly off-kilter thief from Leverage. Born in Minnesota in 1978, she carried that character across the original 2008-2012 TNT run and then back into Leverage: Redemption from 2021 onward, which says a lot about how central she was to the show's chemistry. I respect that she did not stop at acting either, moving into television directing. That kind of step behind the camera tells me she wanted real ownership of the work, not just screen time. She is a quietly steady talent who anchored an ensemble for well over a decade.
