USA NETWORK’S SEXY, SMASH HIT “BURN NOTICE” RETURNS FOR FOURTH SEASON
THURSDAY, JUNE 3 AT 9/8C

#1 Show in Cable Starring Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar,
Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless Returns with All New Episodes

BURN NOTICE returns for its fourth season on June 3 to heat up Thursdays at 9/8c on USA Network. The #1 scripted series on cable in 2009 in both P18-49 and P25-54, BURN NOTICE continues to be one of the hottest shows on television, with its season three averaging 3.5 million in P25-54, 3.3 million in P18-49 and 7.1 million total viewers.  Paired with the new #1 show of 2009, ROYAL PAINS at 10/9c, the two shows make up one of television’s coolest and most powerful block of summer programming on cable or broadcast.

BURN NOTICE stars Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy who finds himself stranded in sun-soaked Miami.  The action-packed season four commences with a new counterintelligence expert, Jesse Garcia, played by Coby Bell (“Third Watch”), who loves to fight bad guys just as much as Michael does.  Heating up the night with our hot undercover agent are Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), the beautiful ex-IRA operative and ex-girlfriend of Michael; Sam (Bruce Campbell), our favorite washed-up military intelligence muscle; and Michael’s mother (Emmy Award-winner Sharon Gless), who is one tough cookie herself.

This season we will see Michael Westen and his “team” protect a lawyer against the city's most dangerous biker gang, help a port worker threatened by dangerous mobsters and assist another burned spy to clear his name all the while trying to figure out the mystery behind Michael’s burn notice.

BURN NOTICE was created, written and executive produced by Matt Nix (“The Good Guys”, “Chasing Vermeer”).  Mikkel Bondesen (“Catch That Kid”) and Alfredo Barrios (“Justice”) also serve as executive producers.  The series comes from Fox Television Studios and Fuse Entertainment.

PREMIERE REVIEW:

I always loved this show. It's still great. They always have awesome cliff-hangers and then resolve them believably, and this season is no different.

At the end of last season, we saw Michael put in a prison, but then he was let out and found himself in a pretty room. This time we find out that his new "mission" is to work with these people (the organization that burned him) to help stop even worse people. On the side, he is still helping people who need his special brand of help.

The interaction with him, Fi, Sam, and his mom are still great as always. I especially like how he acts with his mom this time. I look forward to the rest!

If you have never seen this show, you shouldn't be too lost if you just start watching.  Michael is a former spy who was "burned" by the government agency he worked for and had to hide for a while in Miami while he figured out who happened to him and who did it. He helps people in trouble on the side, for fun and profit, with the help of two other former spies.  I would advise you, though, to go rent the DVD's because there are many great episodes you missed!

Born in Berkshire, England, the accomplished actress has over 45 film and television performances to her credit in both Europe and the U.S., including her breakout film “Scent of a Woman,” where she was whisked off her feet into an acclaimed tango with Al Pacino.

Anwar has enthralled in a vast array of diverse characters from the blind diving horse circus performer in Disney’s biopic “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” to the risqué royal in Showtime’s “The Tudors” to the supercilious counterpart to Noah Wyle in TNT’s “The Librarian: Return To King Solomon’s Mines.” And from the fatal object of desire in “Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead” to the regal Queen Anne in “The Three Musketeers.” From the expat party girl in BBC’s adaptation of Mortimer’s “Summer’s Lease” to the coquette pursuing Dermot Mulroney and Hope Davis in the independent feature “Happy Together.”

SHARON GLESS (Madeline)

Sharon Gless is Madeline Westen in the hit USA Network original series BURN NOTICE, which premieres its fourth season on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 9/8c.

Multiple Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Sharon Gless has distinguished herself as one of the most acclaimed and recognized actresses working today.

Gless most recently completed production on two independent features, “Once Fallen” with Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, and “Hannah Free,” in which Gless stars in the title role. As Hannah, a character who spans 60 years, she plays a free-spirited woman attempting to reunite with the love of her life one last time. The film has recently been selected as the Closing Night film at the prestigious Frameline Gay/Lesbian Film Festival in San Francisco (June).

She was an Emmy nominee for Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her chilling performance as Colleen Rose, an ambiguous Hollywood agent with a multitude of dark secrets on FX’s “Nip/Tuck.”

This summer, Gless plans to travel to London’s famed West End to produce and star in a one-night performance of “A Round-Heeled Woman.” The play is based on the best-selling book by Jane Juska, and focuses on a woman’s adventures with sex and romance later in life. She plans to eventually bring the play to Broadway.

For five seasons (2000-2005), Gless starred as the outrageous and beloved Debbie Novotny in the groundbreaking Showtime series “Queer as Folk.” In 2006, she received rave reviews for her starring role as US Secretary of Defense Lynne Warner in the acclaimed BBC/BBC America miniseries “The State Within.”

Gless was first exposed to the entertainment industry at a young age, by her grandfather Neil S. McCarthy -- the most respected lawyer of Hollywood’s Golden Age. McCarthy, whose clients included Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B. Mayer and Howard Hughes, notably drew up the first contract between a studio and a player -- an interesting fact since Gless was the last contract player in the history of Hollywood (Universal).

Her first series role was the 1973 “Faraday & Company.” She guest-starred in several top TV shows before landing another series role in “Switch.”

In 1982, she landed the career-changing role of New York Police Detective Christine Cagney on the smash hit drama “Cagney & Lacey.” The role garnered her two Emmys wins and six nominations, along with a Golden Globe. After the show ended in 1988, she re-teamed with “Cagney & Lacey” executive producer, Barney Rosenzweig, for the drama series “The Trials of Rosie O’Neill.” That role led to her second Golden Globe win and two additional Emmy nominations. Gless married Rosenzweig in 1991.

In 1994 and 1995, Gless reunited with her television partner Tyne Daly to recreate their title roles in a quartet of critically acclaimed “Cagney & Lacey” television movies. Gless and Daly fondly refer to these telefilms as their character’s “Menopause Years.” Also in 1995 she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The “Cagney & Lacey” movies, as well as the entire series, was released on DVD mid-2009.

Additional television roles include the series “House Calls” and “Turnabout,” as well as the telefilms “Separated by Murder,” “Hard Hat & Legs,” “Honor Thy Mother,” “Hobson’s Choice,” and “Letting Go.” She also starred in the miniseries’ “The Immigrants,” “The Last Convertible,” “Centennial,” and Garson Kanin’s “Moviola: The Scarlett O’Hara Wars,” in which she played screen goddess Carole Lombard. She has also starred opposite Michael Douglas in the feature film “The Star Chamber.”

Gless made her stage debut in Lillian Hellman’s “Watch on the Rhine” at Stage West in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since then, she has starred twice on stage in London’s famed West End, the first time in 1993 when she created the role of Annie Wilkes in the stage version of Stephen King’s haunting “Misery” and in 1997 in Neil Simon’s comedy “Chapter Two.” She starred in Claudia Allen’s “Cahoots” at Chicago’s Victory Gardens Theatre and at Madison Square Garden with the national company of Eve Ensler’s smash “The Vagina Monologues.” Additionally, she has recorded several books-on-tape and starred in many radio plays. Her recording of “Night, Mother” for the BBC earned Gless the International Sony Award.

In 2007, she was the recipient of the Theatre School at DePaul University’s prestigious Award for Excellence of the Arts.

Gless is an active participant in the ongoing struggle for a woman’s right to choose. In 2005, she was honored by Norman Lear’s People for the American Way for her unwavering support of human rights. She’s also become a vocal advocate for gay and lesbian (LGBT) causes.

Gless spends her free time at home in one of her three favorite cities: Los Angeles, Miami and Toronto. fourth season on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 9/8c

BRUCE CAMPBELL (Sam)

In 1979 with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Campbell raised $350,000 for a low-budget film, “Evil Dead,” in which he starred and co-executive produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out “The Shining.” After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it “the most ferociously original horror film of the year,” New Line Cinema stepped forward to release “Evil Dead” in the U.S.

After co-producing “Crimewave,” a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Raimi, Ethan and Joel Coen, Campbell moved to Los Angeles and quickly gained a foothold producing or starring in genre films such as the “Maniac Cop” series, “Lunatics: A Love Story,” “Moontrap” and “Mindwar,” a post-apocalyptic “Jeremiah Johnson,” during which he met his wife-to-be, filmmaker Ida Gearon.

Campbell then rejoined his Detroit colleagues to star and co-produce the second and third films in the “Evil Dead” trilogy, completing 12 years of work on the cult favorite. This rough-and-tumble background was a plus as Campbell made his foray into television, first starring in the highly touted Fox series “The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr.,” then as a recurring guest-star on the hit show “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” With these under his belt, Campbell easily made the transition to director, helming numerous episodes and recurring as the "King of Thieves" in the #1 syndicated “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” and its follow-up phenomenon, “Xena: Warrior Princess.”

He has since expanded his range on television, with appearances in Disney's TV movies “Gold Rush,” and their update of “The Love Bug.” He teamed up with Fox again for the hit TV film “Tornado!,” and starred in NBC's top-rated “In The Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory.” At the invitation of ABC, Campbell ventured into the world of sitcoms with a recurring role on ABC's Emmy-nominated “Ellen,” participating in one of the three touted "Out" episodes. Following decidedly dramatic turns on the acclaimed series “Homicide: Life On The Street” and “The X-Files,” he enjoyed a recurring role on Showtime’s edgy TV industry comedy, “Beggars and Choosers.”

But Campbell didn't abandon his film roots. During that time, he had featured roles in the blockbuster “Congo,” John Carpenter's “Escape From LA,” and the award-winning independent crime drama, “Running Time.” He followed these up with roles in Paramount's romantic comedy, “Serving Sara,” Jim Carrey's “The Majestic,” and Sam Raimi's blockbuster “Spider-Man” series.

After a return to episodic television in the swashbuckling series, “Jack of All Trades,” Campbell took the title role in MGM's cult sleeper “Bubba Ho-tep.” His directorial debut, “Man with the Screaming Brain” premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, and “Dark Horse Comics” published the comic adaptation. Campbell’s current films include the fun-filled Disney hit, “Sky High,” MGM's thriller, “The Woods,” and A&E's “Touch the Top of the World,” an inspiring true story about the first blind person to climb Mt. Everest.

Campbell made the leap into other forms of entertainment, and is enjoying his role as an author with back-to-back New York Times bestsellers: a memoir entitled If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, and his first novel, Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. In the multi-media industry, Campbell provided voices on cutting edge video games for Activision, THQ and Nova Logic - and he also enjoyed voicing characters for Disney’s animated TV series “Tarzan” and the Warner Brothers feature “The Ant Bully.”

Most recently, Campbell directed and starred as himself in “My Name is Bruce,” a spoof of his B-movie career. He also voiced the character of Mayor Shelbourne in the animated hit film “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Campbell continues to share his filmmaking experience, lecturing at universities, which include Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon and Stanford.
He currently resides with his wife, Ida Gearon, in Oregon.
