Light The Fuse - The Official Mission: Impossible Podcast

The former director of the IMF, Eugene Kittridge, played by Henry Czerny, captured our imagination in the first "Mission: Impossible" film. Now, he’s back for “Dead Reckoning Part One” and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Henry talks about his acting origins, his similar role in “Clear and Present Danger” and why he thought he’d never be back in the series. Also, we have a bonus interview with Pom Klementieff and Vanessa Kirby from the junket in Rome (in June). See “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” only in theatres.
