Burn Notice’s ex-spy Jeffrey Donovan remains tight-lipped about his USA Network hit and… kissing Angelina Jolie? (Burn Notice airs Thursdays at 10 pm/ET, USA.)
TV Guide: What’s coming up for “burned” spy Michael Westen? Any big cliff-hangers?
Jeffrey Donovan: My line is always “tune in and find out.”
TV Guide: You can’t reveal anything about what’s coming up?
Donovan: I like to leave that to other people. I’m never sure what I’m supposed to keep silent and what I can give away.
TV Guide: OK. While shooting Season 1, you got injured many times doing your own stunts. Any Season 2 injuries?
Donovan: Surprisingly, none. Here’s the funny thing: I’ve been hurt zero times on set and a few times at home. I walked off a boat and fell on the dock and ripped my knee open. And I was trying to open a drawer and the ceramic handle broke off and slashed my hand open. So I’m going to do all my own stunts on the show, and my stunt double is going to live my life.

USA’s ‘Burn Notice’ Matt Nix interview
Aug 7, 2008 Burn Notice
Matt Nix serves as Executive Producer, Writer, and Creator of the USA Network original series Burn Notice.
If you are unfamiliar with the premise, the series is an irreverent take on classic spy thrillers that works in a bit of “MacGyver” derring-do for Donovan’s Westen, and adds the comedic spice of the great Bruce Campbell, who classes up any project he is involved in. Westen is a “burned” spy without a country, and fights to get his identity restored.
The series was last year’s top new cable series and has performed beautifully for USA, which features programming that welcomes the “character” in their unique programming.
Monsters and Critics joined a small select few online journalists and spoke to Matt about the hit USA series.
The story is obviously centered on Sam and Michael’s relationship but the women are really interesting and the fact that they have such an upper hand over Michael in many aspects, whether it’s Carla or Fi, emotionally, and then of course Sharon Gless’s character, Madeline. I’m interested in how you’re pulling out the women’s stories in Burn Notice. I’d like to know where you’re going to take Fi and Madeline and Carla this season as we progress.
M. Nix Well, first of all I guess I’d say I’m glad you say that about the women. I’d say even for a lot of our guest stars like our—think about the second episode this season—our powerless waitress turned out to be a DEA agent who pulls a gun on Michael and certainly I know speaking for myself and I think all of the writers, we just think that’s fun. We’re always looking for what if this woman was more powerful, it just makes for more fun sparring and we really wanted Michael with regard to Fiona to be—I always enjoyed the idea that she is Michael’s equal in a lot of ways, and I confess I also enjoy the irony that the woman who weighs less than 100 pounds is the heavy on the show.
But I’d say with regard to where is it going, for Michael’s mom we found that or I found that the most interesting and fruitful direction to go in is to really explore how is Madeline like Michael.
