There’s going to be a big, “What the f?” moment. The nice thing about this season, the last half of this season is there’s going to be a big boom at the end of this. We can’t seem to get out of trouble.īruce Campbell: I have to say, when I read the end scene of the end of this season, it actually was a jaw dropper for me. Gabrielle Anwar: Yes, I think you’re right, it builds to quite a crescendo in the last episode, but you’re right, it’s a continual snowballing effect. I mean wouldn’t you say that’s the general feeling, Gabrielle? His mother’s in trouble, we’re all, you know, it just – every episode it seems to escalate. Michael Westen’s situation is compounding and he’s in a world of hurt and that drags us into it also. You know how much better you are at that than I am.īruce Campbell: Oh, no, oh, no, well, let me just say, I think it’s safe to say that we’re going to get more bad guys and we’re going to get worse bad guys because this is getting worse.
So we’re going into Season 4, what’s new?īruce Campbell: Come on, Gabrielle give them the whole lowdown of the entire season. They talked about their characters, working in Miami, the challenges of working on the show and a whole lot more. Unfortunately, Gabrielle had to leave halfway through but Bruce gleefully took over and gave out told some great stories about the show. I had the chance to talk with them in a media conference call where you can tell how much the two like working with each other.

USA has labored to replicate the wry rewards of “Monk” in fulfilling its “Characters welcome” campaign, and if the network can market a series graced with an understated premise and mediocre title, “Burn Notice” comes closer than most of its recent offerings to achieving that whimsical tone, featuring a leading man who lives up to the slogan - one with charisma to burn.Burn Notice is back and so are the stars, Bruce Campbell (Sam Axe) and Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona). After that, it’s fun in the sun, prompting the fallen spook to compare his initial Miami digs to a “Girls Gone Wild” video. The opener kicks off with a strong introductory sequence set in Nigeria, in which Westen discovers at the worst possible moment that his support system has abruptly evaporated. (Bruce Willis was a producer on “Touching Evil,” and Donovan exhibits a similar flair for tossing off one-liners in between dispatching bad guys.)

What really sparks “Burn Notice” is Donovan’s Rockford-like mix of comedy, action and roguish charm, augmented by a dry narration through which he delivers a kind of “how-to” guide to spying - explaining his preference for fighting in bathrooms, for example, because they have “lots of hard surfaces” into which one can slam an opponent it’s easier on the knuckles.ĭonovan plays Westen with an arched eyebrow, but series creator Matt Nix adds several humanizing touches, from the spy teaching a bullied kid how to defend himself to lamenting how his well-honed combat skills haven’t equipped him to handle mom. Westen is even forced to interact with his nagging mom (Sharon Gless), and take a private eye-type gigwhile seeking to unravel his fall from grace. In desperation, he occupies a vacant loft, turning for help to an old girlfriend (Gabrielle Anwar) who has former ties to the Irish Republican Army, and a semi-retired intelligence officer pal (Bruce Campbell) whose favorite pastimes are drinking and ogling women. As a consequence, he’s stranded in Miami without a clue as to why he’s been cut loose. Donovan is Michael Westen, a resourceful spy inexplicably given a “burn notice” by his handlers that essentially severs any ties to him.
