Show TCwfewi Running circles around sports movie cliches By Zap2it might not be the Lifetime you'd expect to g prison drama, especially one directed by Charles S. Dutton. Best known for his involvement in gritty TV projects such as "Roc" and "The Corner," Dutton says he had trouble envisioning how he could contribute to a network whose reputation is d flicks and women-in-perfor movies. But "Racing for Time" airing Saturday, Feb. 16 is the true story of Noel Ches-nu- t, a guard at a California girls correctional facility who seeks to inspire some of the toughest inmates by starting a track team. Chesnut's tale eventually won hard-hittin- ut him over. "I just felt that any person who was humane enough to go out of his way in a job situation like that, to put together a program like that and believe in it ... the man did have some kind of passion, and I figured I could play him," Dutton says. Named Lt.

Lifetime, meanwhile, was d Dutton all the way, saying that it wanted to try something different to reach out to a new audience, he says. In addition to playing the Ches-nrole, Dutton called the shots behind the camera. It's a feat the actor hadn't attempted since the 2004 feature film "Against the Ropes," in which he directed and acted with Meg Ryan. The double duty is not a workload Dutton relishes. "Directing is like washing a That's battleship with a how detailed and difficult it is," he says. "I'll try to direct once a year. I tell myself that, anyway." Much of the acting load is carried by Yaya DaCosta, who plays Vanessa, a headstrong girl who finds herself back in trouble with the law thanks to a loutish boyfriend. While she's prone to get in fights and stir up conflict, Stack sees a spark in her he believes could make her a true leader.
