Gabrielle Anwar Joins Burn Notice For USA

British actress Gabrielle Anwar will co-star opposite Jeffrey Donovan in USA Network’s drama pilot Burn Notice. Set in Miami, the show centers on Michael Weston (Donovan), a blacklisted Special Ops agent who uses his elite training to find the reason for the “burn notice” that ended his spy career as well as to help those who can’t go to the police. Anwar will play Weston’s ex, a former IRA terrorist and expert at survival tactics who has a love-hate relationship with him. Sharon Gless will play Weston’s mother, a lonely, an aging chain smoker who has issues with her son. Bruce Campbell will play a former Navy SEAL who is an old friend of Weston’s. Production is slated to begin Tuesday in Miami. Anwar next stars opposite Noah Wyle in the TNT movie The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines and opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers on the Showtime series The Tudors.
