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.
The heck with CSI. I’m watching Burn Notice from now on. I even love to watch repeats.
I hope everyone knows they put it up against CSI. I am praying everyone knows this that may watch both and picks Burn Notice. Even though it is on early in the summer, that may also bring down his numbers, you know people out. I really liked this last season, mid summer thru early spring. Something to look forward to, hope they do it again
Hurray for Jeffery and Bruce! Hurray for Burn Notice! My favorite…I’m so glad we’re starting a new season!!! Best of luck!!!…Doc
I LOVED “TOUCHING EVIL” – SO MUCH I EVEN WATCHED THE ORIGINAL BRITISH VERSION(WHICH I DIDN’T LIKE NEARLY AS MUCH). I WILL WATCH ANYTHING THIS ACTOR DOES WITH GREAT INTEREST. I THINK HE IS TRULY GREAT.
Michael Westen & David Creegan would have to be 2 of the best characters that have ever been on tv.Thanks to the always brilliant Jeffrey Donovan.
