How does it feel to continue to play such an awesome female character like Fiona? I mean, she certainly does her part at standing out when it comes to female roles.

So we’re seeing a lot more strong female roles on TV these days. I get to play a Boston mobster, so that was tremendous fun for me to get to sort of mix it up a little bit and incorporate different characters and accents and costumes and hair and makeup. They all kind of merge into one after six years. I think it was 6.09 - could have been 6.08. GABRIELLE: We did in fact just shoot episode 6.09. So I’m a bit of a bloody hypocrite now that I think of it.ĭo you have a favorite episode or a scene for this season? I’m an ardent pacifist in reality, so I’ve made it very clear to my children from the get-go that there would be no guns in the house – and yet here’s mummy going off to work doing that very thing for a living. Not only are the weapons incredibly heavy, but they’re very disconcerting to be holding something that actually is a murder weapon that is to say something that is, unless used properly, could bring down an entire family, which kind of throws me for a loop. But I did go shoot some pretty heavy machinery a few years back. GABRIELLE: I haven’t had any formal training in much of anything, actually. Have you had like weapons training for the show since you’re always shooting guns and blowing stuff up?


Jeffrey Donovan, who plays Michael, gets to do it much more frequently than I, and I get a little bit sulky about that. But I am very grateful to play these roles because after six years of playing the same character, it really does breathe a breath of fresh air into each episode when we get to do something that’s completely out of character. GABRIELLE: Actually, it has its moments of being challenging, particularly when there’s different dialects involved. But it could be potentially a lot harder because you play so many different personalities on the show when Fiona is undercover. The job you guys do on BURN NOTICE has to be the funnest. In a recent press conference call, star Gabrielle Anwar shared what it is like playing such a strong, powerful and capable woman on the show. For the past six seasons, Fiona has proven to be more than just the eye-candy or trigger happy-girlfriend, she has been the reason that Michael found the strength to pursue his oppressors and frequently spurned him into helping more than one client in distress. After all, Fiona was the only person who came to Michael’s rescue the minute she found out that the super spy had been “burned” by his former employer.

The high-octane spy series BURN NOTICE may give off the impression it is an “all boy’s club,” but what would the show be without the powerful love story of Michael and Fiona.
