'Burn Notice' Opens with Even More Scorching Season

July 10, 2008

Burn NoticeAfter just one season, critics are raving about Burn Notice, which is already being called one of the most underrated shows today.  As it debuts its second season on Thursday, July 10, the USA Network action comedy may not be as under the radar than it was when it first came out.  Already, television fans are raving about it online and their raves may just catch fire soon.

When we left Michael Westen, masterly played by Jeffrey Donovan on Burn Notice's season 1, he was as good as dead, his family and associates thought he was, at least.  He was issued a burn notice, basically an official statement from intelligence agencies disenfranchising a spy, declaring him unemployable and unreliable for one reason or another, freezing his assets, and being under threat of being killed if you leave one predetermined location.  It's a fate almost as bad as death, Westen finds out.

June 19, 2008

Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer of 'Battlestar Galactica'Last week, Los Angeles's Cinerama Dome movie theater was host to a screening of Battlestar Galactica's mid-season finale and a Q&A session with some of the actors. Though we weren't able to attend, IGN got to sit down with Six (Tricia Helfer) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) to discuss the impending Battlestar Galactica series finale and what their plans are now that the show is finishing up.

It's not surprising that both of the talented actresses are in high demand, and both discussed their new roles on Nip/Tuck, for Sackhoff, and Burn Notice, for Helfer. They also revealed their reactions to reading the finale script for the first time – and what they have to say may surprise you.

Battlestar Cast News: 'CSI' Snubs Sackhoff, Helfer to 'Burn Notice'

May 2, 2008

If you're a fan of Battlestar Galactica and CSI:, prepare to be disappointed.  Really, super-duper disappointed.  TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Katee Sackhoff (who plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica, but you already knew that) was tantalizingly close to joining the cast of CSI as Jorja Fox's kinda, sorta replacement.  The new character, named Bryce Adams, was set to be a series regular.  Executive producers and show runners were all jacked up and ready to welcome Sackhoff to the CSI family.  They basically thought it was a done deal, according to Ausiello.  However, at the last minute, executives from CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer's production company got cold feet.  They didn't feel Katee was right for the role, apparently, and now the search for Bryce Adams has been re-opened.

'Burn Notice' Star Says He's Not as Charming as His Character

September 8, 2007

Jeffrey Donovan plays Michael Westen on Burn NoticeUSA Network's new spy series, Burn Notice, has turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the summer.  The show, which airs on basic cable, averages 4 million viewers every week, and was recently renewed for a second season.  It has also received glowing reviews from a number of critics, with the Los Angeles Times comparing series star Jeffrey Donovan to big-time Hollywood actor Bruce Willis.

Donovan's acting prowess and obvious charisma has earned him much praise, but he seems genuinely embarrassed about the attention he is getting.  When the Palm Beach Post asked him about being television's newest sex symbol, Donovan simply replied, “I don't even know how to respond to that.  It's all in the writing.  I only wish I was as charming as Michael Westen."
