'Leverage' season 4: Jeri Ryan is returning as Tara

Leverage is returning for its fourth season on TNT later this month, and the season will not only have a new nemesis for the crew, it will also feature a couple of recurring guest stars returning, including Mark Sheppard and Jeri Ryan.

Leverage season 4: Mark Sheppard will be back

Mark Sheppard will be back as Sterling once again, Nate's insurance nemesis. He's not the only one returning. Jeri Ryan, who recurs as Tara Cole, the grifter who worked with the crew while Sophie was gone in season 2, will be back, according to a tweet she sent out:

"But first, up to Portland to play w/ my friends – er, I mean work…! Heading up there to shoot another episode of #Leverage. :-)"

Jeri Ryan currently stars on the ABC drama, Body of Proof, which will be entering its second season in the fall. She was last seen on Leverage in "The Maltese Falcon Job," the season 2 finale. When she first joined the crew, in "The Lost Heir Job," she played them to see how they worked and as an audition. How will she back this season? Will they run into her on a con?
