The Mole is a really cool show. Back in the day, viewers were in for a really cool ride trying to decipher which of the engaging and interesting contestants is the traitor of the group.

I can relate it to TV, I know I can. William Fichtner (Mahone is Prison Break and Supreme Court Justice Chris Mulready in one of my favourite episodes of The West Wing) plays a bank manager in the opening scene.
