Jeffrey Donovan - Harder Than Finding A Spy

July 12th, 2016 - 37th and Heather (Old RCMP Grounds), Vancouver

Oh Jeffrey Donovan.  Lead in one of my top shows of all time, Burn Notice.  I loved the character of Michael Westen, the burned spy with a vendetta to redeem himself in the eyes of his country. The show only got better with the addition of Coby Bell in the later seasons, adding to the already strong cast of Bruce Campbell as 'the buddy', Sam Axe and Gabrielle Anwar as the '(not quite) ex girlfriend' as well as Sharon Gless as Michael's mother.  Great cast, hilarious, smart writing, great guest cast/acting the whole thing.  The only complaint I ever had about that show was continuity within scenes.  Often the angle changes would result in inconsistencies over the shoulder but I could overlook it for the excellent everything else.
