| ♦ WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE "CUT"?
Ok, ya'll. Here's the deal. Yes, without a doubt, Christian Kane looks hot with long hair. You look at him and the only word that comes to mind is yummy. I mean it's a good thing we don't live near one another because I'd have the sudden urge to run my fingers through it. But I have to admit, a part of me , at least every now and then, misses the clean cut Lindsay McDonald look. It is my honest opinion that Christian Kane will look good no matter what length his hair is. And this is for Christian himself, Your true fans will love you no matter what you decide to do. Much love and best wishes in all you do from Indiana!
| Who are you? | Meara | | Eliot: short hair or long? | It needs to be shorter! | | Why? | Three-strikes Job. I don't mean to be mean, but it went a little Shirley Temple. Humidity + Long hair = not really that sexy. I'm thinking season 5 of Angel, scruffy, sexy, worked for me! |
|
| | Who are you? | TexasRebel | | Eliot: short hair of long? | Long | | Why? | This is a man who makes his own rules, he is by the definition of his life a non-conformist. He is a trapezoid never to be forced into a round hole. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | He would have to be either 1. Tortured by Parker during a moment of inattention (like sleep) or 2. He could get involved saving a small child from a fire where the length of his hair is burned. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Christian, babe, your popularity numbers among the target groups are sky high, seriously - we get responses like "Nathan WHO? more Eliot and that hair and body!" Christian that hair is keeping the viewers happy, happy viewers make happy sponsors, and happy sponsors mean more money for better scripts, travel and happy paychecks. Keep the hair! |

|
| | Why? | cuz he's HOT...although he's still HOT with short hair too | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | cuz Parker got it wrapped in her fingers....JK! | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | PLEASE!!! |
|
|
| Who are you? | Gail@tnt | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long!! Although he looks great with short hair too. | | Why? | It's sexy and mysterious - you want to ask why he keeps it long. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Perhaps his hair gets caught in something during an escape, and they have to cut it to save him. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | I'm thinking he'd rather keep it long, anyway, but it gives Eliot a softer edge, keeps him human while he plays the group's muscle man. And until we really get to know Eliot, he shouldn't change his appearance - we'd start to feel differently about him. Eliot wouldn't come across the same, maybe a little cold? |

| Who are you? | Ayilachan | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long! | | Why? | It's part of the 'Eliot Spencer' look. If he goes short again, he'll be back to 'Lindsey, corporate puppy dog'. (Not that I don't LOVE Lindsey...) | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | ... Loosing a chunk of it in a particularly violent fight. Or maybe someone gets a hold of it and cutting is the only escape. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | I'mma have to agree with the above. It's really a character thing, And I've always respected him as someone who really takes his 'characters' to heart. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Crazyfangirl323 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | All his power comes from his hair!! Also, it's awesome how he can take down a bajillion bad guys at once, and not have a hair out of place in the end. And he kinda looks more 'bad boy'ish. He'd look more "boy band'ish with it short. Too wholesome :S Basically he just rocks the long hair! | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Parker shaved (That's right, Shaved, not cut) it off in the middle of the night (or maybe even just went up behind him in the middle of a meeting and just started) just to see how he would take it. Answer: Badly. Maybe he could wear a bandana the rest of the season :P | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Um... Your ears look funny, you should keep them covered at all times. With your hair. yep. (Who am I kidding, his ears are perfect. PERFECT I TELL YOU!!) |
|
|
| Who are you? | Muffcats | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | I love Christian with long hair, but short, long or bald he will still be the sexiest man around. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | I have to agree with several other comments that it would be great to have the 20 pounds of crazy in 5 pound bag go off on him!! | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Anything I had to!!! Honestly, I'm so happy to have him back on TV on a weekly basis, I will love him no matter what. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Leverageme | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG | | Why? | You can always make long hair short (wig or pony tail or tuck behind shirt) | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | As we know how diabolical these characters are - El brings it up to the group about "a trim" and a group vote to decide on the fate of his locks | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Christian as a ex-vietnam vet who is totally disabled but you and Parker really make the show go I implore you to think long and hard about it. I have hair down to the middle of my back and again, I can always do something with it to hide it (if need be). Once you cut it, then what? be strong my son and just say no to the cut. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Deb195 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | More believable in the role he plays, IE last epi he tied back to be 'professor' | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | something extremely unlikely. He's a pro and won't do a job with his hair all over the place so it may get caught in something. Maybe a bet or to donate it. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Its beautiful, don't do a thing to it! |
|
|
| Who are you? | Katesie | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | Bad boys always looks better with long hair and it's so sexy . | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | He would cut it off and donate it to Locks of Love. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | that he looks alot better with his longer hair and it's getting him away from the look he had when he started on Angel. |
|
|
| Who are you? | taurean04 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG | | Why? | He has great hair. It moves when he moves! Steven Segals' ponytail is glued to his collar. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | It's gotta be a sick joke from someone who ID'd him. Ex. Someone sneeks into where he lives, while he's sleeping. He awakes, his ponytail is lying on the other pillow with a note that says "You slept" (This ain't no stalker crap,, now) | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Dark long hair, killer blue eyes, a sweet smile - a great combo. Grow your hair as long as you want honey - But if you start looking like Grizzly Adams or decide to do K-Fed/Beckham cornrows, the line will be drawn. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Macie Ginger | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long, definately long | | Why? | Beside my own personal preference for long hair, and the fact that it suits the character. He has gained to much bulk for this role that he would look just plain weird in his current state with short hair. Minor differences can sometimes make a big difference. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Some woman made him cut it... Love to see that happen... lol | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Well I would explain my above reasoning to him and the producers. Actors have been made to keep their hair the same for a show before. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Wiccanwriter | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | Because it adds the rebel look to the character and it's gorgeous | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | He gets contacted by the people from his past and has to do one more job for them. In the process his hair is cut. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | It is beautiful and so are you regardless of what length your hair is, however women like it long. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Bigred911 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG | | Why? | Gives more to the kick ass country boy look...and of course its just beautiful | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Hardison offers to trim it for him using a hi-tech gadget. It goes hay-wire and it takes off way more than its supposed to. Elliot of course reminds him every chance that he can that he not only screwed with his hair, but messed up on a gadget. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | What are you thinking about?! Long hair is much sexier, and fits better with your music!! |
|
| |
| Who are you? | Kat | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG!!! | | Why? | He is super sexy with it long!! | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | I loved the Hardison "gadget" thing, very cool | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Please!! You look SO HOT with it long! |
|
|
| Who are you? | elitosgirl | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long!! It's Eliot!!!!! | | Why? | Aside from how awesome it looks, this is about the character. And Christian has always been about the character. It's versatile, stylish, and finishes the character. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Either through some extreme torture or the loss of some insane bet!!!!! | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Not much- Christian you know what we like and we know what you want. Keep it long for Eliot's sake. You know that either way, you look great!!!! Bring it on, son!!!!!!! |
|
|
| Who are you? | dallas08 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG!!!!!!! | | Why? | bad guys have long hair. He is sexy whether he has short or long hair. the long hair adds to the mystery and character of Eliot | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | protect the team, and keep the people from his past from finding him. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | welcome to MY house, buckle up tight. |
|
|
| Who are you? | peacelovekane | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | it is an integral part of his character. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Chopped off in a fight or since Christian has cherokee in him, cut it off as a sign of mourning. Someone Eliot cared about in his past dies. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Look at what happened to Samson! Just don't go all Fabio. lol either way it's all good |
|
|
| Who are you? | Dryan89 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | honestly i love him with both but right now he should keep it long (short is too..lindsey from Angel) | | Why? | it's very eliot..part of the tough guy act | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Either Hardison accidently got gum in it and he had to cut it or part of it got cut on a job and they had to finish cutting it off. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Well like elitosgirl said...keep it for Eliot's sake but he really does look great both ways. |
|
|
| Who are you? | CastawayBleu | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long!! | | Why? | It makes him unique. Most men aren't secure enough in themselves to be different. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Eliot would cut it because his ex girlfriend begged him to let his hair grow long. They had a really bad breakup and he cuts his hair to remove memories of her from his life. His girlfriend would be an analyst at a large corporation. She's too anal retentive to do anything unique so she gets him to do it by growing his hair long. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Be unique. If you like your hair longer, keep it. It gives your character more options without using props. |
| Who are you? | nyirishgal | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG!!!!!!!!!!! | | Why? | It fits Eliot's character. He's a non-conformist. He's a "he-man". Sampson needed his long hair, so does Elliot. AW heck, it's sexy and just fits him all the way!! Besides I love fantasizing running my fingers through it! LOL! | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Just like Sampson some ex girlfriend gets pissed and cuts it off when he's sleeping. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Your longer hair is you, whether it's your character as Eliot or as Christian Kane the singer. Your longer hair fits into all aspects of your life. It's your trademark and yes, it's down right sexy! |
|
|
| Who are you? | christiankanefan | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | It's a perfect fit for Eliot and his mysterious background. I love the way it moves when he fights. Plus it's Sexxxy as hell! | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | I think the idea of Parker or Hardison being involved in some way---accidentally during a caper. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Please don't cut it. I is soooooooooooooooooo sexyy! |
|
|
| Who are you? | LaRegan | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Honestly? I would take him either way. | | Why? | Because he's hot. lol | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | OH! Hardison should be involved in some way. Like, a tech thing gone wrong, and his hair gets chopped off. lol | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Don't cut it. I like it long. |
|
| | Who are you? | wendy62 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG , definitely | | Why? | YUMMY , lol | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | I would have to agree with some of the other's, with his heritage... as a sign of mourning for someone in his past . | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Darlin'...,long just add's to the , mmmm " I CANDY ". And beside's, it make's the fantasy's and the dream's somehow better , but either way darlin', yummy; lol " I " don't bite :) |
|
| | Who are you? | Kausingkayn | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG! | | Why? | It fits with the scruffy look they give him, and the long hair better fits his character. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Um...get it chopped off in a knife fight, or loose a bet to Hardison. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | If you cut your hair, I'll send Angel to beat you up....hehe |
|
|
| Who are you? | kadief | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | i don't think he would be taken seriously as a tough guy with short hair, with short hair, he looks more like a baby face, with long hair he appears more tough | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | maybe it can catch on fire! i like the bet thing too | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | You will look like a sissy!
BTW, I do like Eliot, I just like him looking all tough!! |
|
|
| Who are you? | Melani | | Eliot: short hair or long? | definitely long | | Why? | It's part of who he is. It's rebellion, it gives him an edge | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | With a kitchen knife, of course--and he'll have to do it to keep from being recognized. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Chris is a big boy and can do what he wants. Personally, I think the long hair suits him--especially as a country singer. It makes him stand apart from others. It's a personality statement that totally works for him. |
|
| | Who are you? | Elliotsgirl | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | Because he looks really cute with his long hair | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Nate should tell him that he needs to look more professional, then he should hand him a pair of scissors!!! | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | I love your long hair and I would be really sad if you cut!!! And you look really cute with it long |
|
|
| Who are you? | Angelus_Heartilly | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Definitely long, but maybe trimmed a little? | | Why? | All bias toward Christian Kane aside, long hair just fits the character better. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Mmmm.... He has to go under cover. Under cover, and it's the type of job where longer hair isn't acceptable. You don't see lawyers (heh, Lindsey moment there) or cops with long hair.
Another possibility would be people know him too well with long hair. It's possible he has long hair because people might recognize him with shorter hair. But what if people recognize him with longer hair? Job goes wrong, he needs a way to go change quickly, and cutting his hair is a good way. His hair now is (obviously) very eye catching. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Eh, there's really nothing to say. He wants his hair long, too, so there's no need for convincing! But I think he'd agree that it fits the character better. He's not Lindsey--he's not a lawyer trying to get to the top, he's not a lost man trying to find his way. He's a tough, rugged, loner, who's wanted in a few countries and doesn't like the law. |
|
| | Who are you? | Kathiezafan | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | I'm a child of the 70's...long hair is always number one with me! | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | He's tired of having to wear that stocking hat to keep it in place on various missions, so he TRIMS it up so that it won't get in the way | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Honestly, I would tell him long hair, short hair or no hair, he is still the same great guy underneath...so do whatever he feels like doing at the time. We'll love him anyway! |
|
| | Who are you? | argyll1164 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | He's a distinct character. An outlaw with his own way of doing things ... And Nate probably wants him to cut it, so it won't happen. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Parker. He's probably going to be working on a machine or a car and she cuts a chunk off handing him a tool or by catching it on something. Plus if Nate or Hardison did it, Eliot would deck them. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | I doubt I'd have to say anything, but I think it needs to be styled a little. Maybe like it was in the pilot. The sides are too heavy when it's long and it keeps getting in front of those eyes. |
|
|
| Who are you? | Saturniia | | Eliot: short hair or long? | long | | Why? | It fits his character as he stands now: outwardly anti-authoritarian, concealing, adaptable, and seemingly charming. If the character were to mature in a way that makes shorter hair seem reflective of his character in that season, I'd go for it, but I don't see that sort of development as we left Eliot and the rest of the team at the end of Season 1 | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Most likely scenario: Eliot is in a situation where he needs a quick costume change, and he has nothing at his disposal but a travel razor and a pair of shears. It's cut or get caught, or maybe cut or die.
Comedic situation: Eliot holds a baby, the baby has a death grip on Eliot's hair, and Parker has scissors. You complete the rest | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | As a stranger, I have no right to say anything about his hair and as such believe he should do anything with it that he wishes to do. However , as a fan of Leverage, it is my opinion that longer hair suits Eliot Spencer better than short hair. My reasons are those listed above and also because the show has a short-haired brunette white man in the form of one Nathan Ford. There's no reason to have another main character with those same visual cues. |
|
|
| Who are you? | kanegirl | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG!!!! | | Why? | It fits the character so well. The long hair is more rugged which is what Eliot is. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Eliot is running from someone and Parker hands him a pair of scissors. He has one of two options, keep the hair and be reconized or cut his hair.
Parker throws gum in his hair and the only way to get the gum out is to cut the hair. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | I would say that he looks better with his long hair. It fits him, he has already said he prefers his long hair. |
|
|
| Who are you? | CranialSpasm | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long | | Why? | He works the shoulder length hair very well and it is easier to change it for different jobs. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | I doubt Eliot is the type of guy that would willingly do it, so for a con, Sophie and Parker spike his drink and he wakes up with a new do. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | It's much more organic than the other hairstyle's he's rocked. |
|
|
| Who are you? | irishchick1969 | | Eliot: short hair or long? | I like it either way but it looked good when he played Lindsay on Angel, that should be the length the season5 hairdo not the on at the beginning | | Why? | he totally rocks that scruffy look When his hair is short he looks too baby-faced | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | Maybe during a con , he leans over a lit candle and it catches fire forcing him to cut it just a little bit but not short | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | nothing it is his hair and he should wear it how he wants to. He has stated in interviews that it was his choice to have long hair for the character of Eliot and it will be his choice to cut it, Besides the man is more than hair he is a real live human being and shouldn't have to put up with people constantly debating about his haircut why not focus more on the show and not the hair |
|
|
| Who are you? | LuvLevG | | Eliot: short hair or long? | Long! | | Why? | Because his secret desire is to sing country music. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | If it HAS to happen, Eliot wears a bandana or hat with fake hair sticking out (like Bret Michaels- LOL!) for the entire episode while Parker, Hardison and Sophie repeatedly ask him "waz up with the hat?" His refusal to remove his headgear makes for lots of funny moments during the con and at the office. Finally, he takes off the fake hat hair, shows off his shorn locks, and explains that while visiting his sister, her two year old chopped up his hair while he napped. In fact, at the beginning of the episode, Hardison asks Eliot how his weekend with the family went and Eliot replies, "Cut short". Parker starts calling him "Hub". | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | Nothing. It ix his choice to have long hair for the character. It should be his choice on the direction the character takes. |
|
|
| Who are you? | DeanEliot | | Eliot: short hair or long? | it does not matter, he looks HOT in both. | | Why? | as i said he's hot. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | mmm maybe a gang forces him to cut it for some reasons !! or as some comments here they put him in a situation that he should cut it or get caught. | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | it's his hair not mine, he has the choice to keep it or not ^.^ |
|
|
| Who are you? | 20pounds-of-spaz | | Eliot: short hair or long? | LONG! Totally! | | Why? | I love his southern charm. But without his beautiful long hair... He's missing something. | | If Eliot HAD to cut his hair, how should they have it happen on Leverage? | In the most unlikely sanerio ever! Not parker not nate not hardison... BUT SOPHIE! She is pissed at him for doing something to her. So during a meeting, she sneaks up behind him holding a pair of sisors in her hand... Nate noticec her and he gets a confused look on his face she holds up the sisors and puts a finger to her lips. He goes back to whattever he was telling them, then when he realises what sophie is about to do, Nate screams "NO! SOPIE! DON'T DO IT! DON'T!": but it was to late... Just as sopie cut of the ponytail eliot turns around and sees the aloft ponytail of beautiful brown hair in sophie's hand. He gitts so pissed he starts cussing at her and grabbs the sisors from her hand.. Then he cuts a huge chunk of hair off of sophie. She screams and runs out of the room. Nate grabbs a bottle of beer, takes a big drink of it, and yells after her. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT!" parker looks as if someone had just got hit by a car, Eliot looks as if he is about to kill sophie, Nate looks like he just got home from work and hardison, Well he just stood there, open jawed and wide eyed. Then for the rest of the season eliot stays mad at sophie then maked up with her on the first episode of the third season. His hair will be back to normal then and after they hug, (After the appolagy) He threatens to kill her if she she does that ever again. (But she didnt cut off christians real hair. Gina only cut a wig, but for the rest of the season it looks like Eliot is growing his hair back.) LOL! THAT WOULD BE SOOOO COOL! | | What would you say to Christian Kane to make him keep his hair? | He should deffinetly NOT cut it. (But he is a guy... Im a girl... Guys don't listen to girls unless they have him in a head lock with his hands behind his back.(Don;t ask me how i know) And i am not planning to do that to the hottest actor in history.) |
