It’s a little difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys on USA’s “Burn Notice,” and that’s one of the things that make the character-driven thriller unique.
When star Jeffrey Donovan was cast as the spy who is driven in from the cold, he knew a lot about Bruce Campbell, who was to play his unkempt cohort, Sam.
“I knew of Bruce,” says Donovan. “I actually had heard about him through a friend of mine who knew him. So I knew just of him, but that’s not to say that I wasn’t a fan of his because I don’t actually know many actors - because I don’t go to the movies and I don’t watch television. But now that I’ve gotten to know him, I couldn’t ask for a better costar. And I’m sure actors say that all the time, but they’re lying. I know all of them. They’re lying. And this is the truth. You can’t ask for a better actor coming from his huge career, to come and grace us on this show has been just a blessing for us.”

Jul 27, 2007 Burn Notice Leave a comment
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.
