USA Today Talks to Burn Notice Star Jeffrey Donovan

USA Today recently talked to Jeffrey Donovan, who stars as the "burned" covert agent Michael Westen on Burn Notice, the third season of which premieres next Thursday (June 4th, 9 PM ET/PT) on USA Network.

"I'm having the best time of my life. Absolutely," says Donovan. "This is the best material I've ever had to work with, and it's getting better. The cast and crew are great. It's a marriage made in heaven."

USA Today notes viewers appreciate the match. Burn Notice's "cool" factor, story lines and charismatic cast attract 5 million viewers an episode. Much of the appeal lies with Donovan's turn as the unflappable, self-deprecating CIA agent given a "burn notice," his employment terminated by unknown operatives for reasons unclear.

The series, set in Miami, is popular enough have attracted a book tie-in. Tod Goldberg has written two books to date, both of which have been positively reviewed by Mysterious Reviews: The Fix (published August 2008) and The End Game (published May 2009).

The first two seasons of the series are available on DVD from Mysteries on TV: Burn Notice.
