TV Alert! ‘Burn Notice’

Tonight at 10 ET, on the USA Network, watch “Burn Notice” and be on the lookout for Paul Howley and his family. Here are viewing tips from Paul:

As some of you may know, Paul and Mal Howley and their daughter, Cassy Wood, recently got paid to be “extras” in a TV show (Burn Notice) that was being filmed in Miami, Florida. Mal and I will most likely be just blurry background characters, but you should be able to spot Cassy because she walks very close to Jeffrey Donovan (the star of the show) several times.

There will be a few scenes that take place in a nice public park in Miami and Mal and I can (possibly) be seen as picnickers sitting on a blanket. (We are such good actors that you’ll be convinced that we are really having a picnic.) Mal is wearing a pink plaid skirt and a pink shirt and Paul is wearing blue jeans (what a surprise!) and an ugly yellow t-shirt that the wardrobe department made me wear. We turn up later in the episode in a marketplace scene and we’re wearing the same clothes.

In the final scene Jeffrey Donovan (Michael) is walking towards his girlfriend and his car and when that shot begins, Mal and I are directly behind him, walking away from him. Cassy can be seen in one “park scene” as she walks right by “Michael” while he’s using his cell phone. Cassy is wearing a lime-green shirt and a white skirt. In another park scene, Cassy is walking with a guy who has his arm around her. Cassy is wearing a red shirt and a white skirt. Later, in a beach scene, Cassy is sitting on a beach chair wearing a black dress with purple and white flowers on it. You’ll recognize Cassy because she’s a petite woman with long dark hair. (Cute as can be!)

“Burn Notice” is seen on USA Network on this coming Thursday (February 26th) at 10PM Eastern time. Please be advised that this TV show may not be suitable for young viewers.

Here is a brief synopsis of what the TV show of “Burn Notice” is about:

WHAT IS BURN NOTICE?

When spies get fired, they don’t get a letter from human resources.

They get BURNED…

This summer, USA Network presents the second season of Burn Notice, a sexy, action-packed original series starring Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy. Dumped in his hometown of Miami without money or resources, Michael struggles to put his life back together and find out why he’s been burned. In the meantime, he uses his unique skills and training to help people in need … mostly people who can’t get help from the police.

Burn Notice also stars Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona, a beautiful ex-IRA operative who happens to be Westen’s ex-girlfriend. Bruce Campbell stars as Sam, Michael’s closest buddy in town, a washed up military intelligence contact who is keeping an eye on Michael for the Feds. Also starring is Emmy® Award-winner Sharon Gless as Madeline, Michael’s hypochondriac mother, who couldn’t be happier to have her boy back in town.

Joining the cast this season in a recurring role is Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Gallactica”) as Carla, the woman who may be behind Michael’s burn notice.

Created and written by Matt Nix, Burn Notice combines the best of the action/thriller elements with surprising humor and an iconic new breed of spy.

Thanks, Paul! I will, of course, set the FiOS DVR to record the show.

BTW, Bruce Campbell is in the series. He’s an old pal of director Sam Raimi, and he’s been in all three of the Spider-Man movies. Campbell has also done some very funny commercials. The one I’m thinking of has him sitting at a piano, but this isn’t that one, but it’s still good.
