CRANK UP THE VCR:
'Burn' star happy to share limelight (Luaine Lee, 7/05/08, MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS)
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 actually had heard about him through a friend of mine who knew him," says Donovan. "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."
You've got four days to get caught up before the new season starts.
oj,
Tanks for the reminder, I almost forgot to program the DVR.
Next to Remember is TNT's "The Closer".
We stumbled on "Burn Notice" last summer and left it on the DVR, so when the re-runs started, we watched them all again. They're lots of fun and I love Fiona. Oh to be that young and skinny again!
