    A great actor who gets to show off his mad skillz in a brilliant show. ;) hide show

    I first encountered a show with Jeffery Donovan waaaaay back when "The Pretender" was still on the air, in the late 90s. Remember Jarod's sociopathic brother Kyle? "I decide who lives and dies." Brilliant for the, what, three, four episodes that he was in?

    Fast forward some years, and then I come across "Burn Notice." It catches my eye and I decide to watch an episode and decide if it's worth the time. My first thought is, "Hey, haven't I seen that guy before?" Followed by "Great googly moogly, this is BRILLIANT." Jeffery Donovan is a terrific actor that oozes charismatic charm and talent. Burn Notice does a wonderful job of showcasing his acting chops; everything from cool spy, crazy punk, an australian, a texan, a nerd and so on. He plays a character that takes on many personas and he's wonderfully entertaining to watch!

    Soooo talented! it seems like they wrote the caracther just for him. hide show

    He is one of the most versatile actors that I have seen, I really enjoy him in this show, they actually use his chamaleonic talent to the fullest, switching back and forth from a red neck low life, to a pompous street tug; His relationship with his brother is classic, you can see that they love each other, I could, however smack his mother, and Sam is, well, he'll get his own review, I also love the way he interacts with Fiona, there is a lot of chemistry in between them, you can actually feel the sparks, it makes me wonder...

    Absolutely brilliant! hide show

    I think Jeffrey Donovan is a really incredible actor,he's just great in everything! I've been lucky enough to see him in lots of his movies and tv shows and he's always such great fun to watch.He's an extremely talented actor and is fantastic in any role he plays.He's really terrific as lovely characters and equally great as villains.His characters in Burn Notice & Touching Evil would have to be two of the best ever on tv! I think he's easily one of the very best and most likeable actors around.He just seems to be so effortless that it's like your not watching someone act at all.He's amazing! And he's very handsome and dreamy looking too.I look forward to seeing him in lots more movies and tv shows for many years to come. :)

    Awesome dude! hide show

    Jeffrey Donovan is an incredible actor. I have only ever seen him act in the show Burn Notice but I still love him as an actor. He play's his parts so well you could actually believe he's a spy. Or a spy whose been burned anyways. The way his character is makes you want to not only know more about Michael Weston but you want to know all about Jeffery Donovan because of how well he acts. If Burn Notice ends which hopefully it doesn't for a really long long time Jeffery Donovan needs to have to another show because his talent can not go to waste.

    Brilliant actor. hide show

    His character in the show Burn Notice named Michael Westen. Michael Westen is a spy who got burned ( fired ) and is trying to figure out who did it and why.

    The show is very well written, and its pretty much down to the actors to make the show "big". Jeffrey plays the lead role and the show wouldnt be the same without him, Michael would be a hard person to act, due to his amazing character in the show.

    Michael adds plenty of humour and action in the Burn Notice series, and has a very unique attitude and style in the show.
