One minute she's pushing Michael to rig a bigger bomb - the next, to face his issues. "I love how outspoken and unrestrained Fiona is," Anwar says of her character. But a nagging mom? That 007 never had it so tough. "But this is a show where all the hard things are easy and the easy things are hard." "It's a little weird to have a spy show with a mom on it," Nix admits. Take Madeline, his manipulative, chain-smoking mother (played by Cagney & Lacey vet Sharon Gless). Michael's world is shaken, not sugarcoated. How boring and long the waiting is between actual missions. "Or they made me forget - by some brainwashing message embedded in the text," he jokes. "I don't remember the (book) titles," Donovan notes. When Donovan was first cast, he read up on spies and intelligence.

Michael, a former agent, is stuck in his hometown of Miami, broke and blacklisted. And Thursday, after nearly a year, Burn Notice returns for a second season (at 9 p.m.), as quirky and clever as ever. The series, which debuted on the USA Network last summer, was a hit. He's Stephen Colbert with sunglasses, a hot babe sidekick and some combustible homemade thermite powder, outwitting villains with levity as well as pyrotechnics. "You know, Mercedes makes an SUV now," he says. Like in the pilot, when Michael is stuck between two thugs in the back of a Mercedes. "People run around saying" - he adopts a deep, basso acting voice - " 'You don't understand! We're up against the hugest organization in the world, and we're all going to die unless we do this thing in the next 42 minutes!' "īack to regular Matt: "On Burn Notice, we kinda go in the opposite direction." "Those shows (depict) a very dramatic world," Nix says. "spy-ish." He envisioned something un- Alias, a non- 24.
