| EX-AGENT GOING FOR THE 'BURN' |
| Life was never like this for James Bond. On the
breezy summer series "Burn Notice," Michael Westen is a spy down on his
luck. He's been "burned," literally: cut from the ranks by the U.S.
government with no prior notice or reason. Jeffrey Donovan, who plays
Weston, sums it up succinctly. "'Burn Notice' is an actual term
used by government agencies to tell spies that they are no longer
affiliated with the government. All their assets have been killed. They
are left with no identity, no way to travel and no money. It's kind of
like catching the plague," he says. Westen has no place to go
to but home – Miami – where life is anything but a beach. There, he
faces familiar nightmares. For starters, there's his mother, Madeline
(Sharon Gless), a hypochondriac, and his ex-girlfriend, an IRA
terrorist named Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar). The 11-episode summer series
stars Jeffrey Donovan ("Touching Evil") as spy Michael Westen. He's
just been "burned": excised from his agency with no prior notice or
reason.

| Michael Westen: Equal Parts Equalizer and MacGyver, 100% Hero |
For several years, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) has been a covert spy working for the NSA, CIA and other government agencies.
Then
one day, during an undercover operation, he receives an unexpected
answer from his cell: Michael Westen has been blacklisted. In other
words, someone has put a "burn notice" on him. The U.S government has
frozen his accounts and destroyed his credit, but can't take away his
skills.
Now in sunny Miami, Michael must deal with issues from
his past in the form of his neurotic mother, Madeline (Sharon Glass),
who always tried to reunite Michael with his brother and his
ex-girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), a trigger-happy ex-IRA
operative.

| Jeffrey Donovan - up from the ranks |
"The whole television series business is a strange world where I'm not at a place where people just give me my own TV show," mused Jeffrey Donovan, a good man with 20 years of professional acting experience who finally made his mark as the star of the cult cable cop show "Touching Evil" (2004).
Unfortunately, "Touching Evil" - where Donovan played a cop who took a bullet to the head, and spent 10 minutes technically dead before roaring back as as nerve-wrecked slob - was down and out after 13 episodes. Fortunately, the show's producers only had fond memories of his work when they were developing "Burn Notice," the saga of a high-level CIA operative suddenly axed without due cause.
