THE EX-SPY: MICHAEL WESTEN
Covert agents like Burn Notice's Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) don't get fired, they get ''burned'' — blacklisted from the job for reasons unknown, cut off from all high-security government information, and robbed of their savings, credit, and passport. All the agent has left is his/her skills, which in Michael's case means tactical analysis, hand-to-hand combat, building explosives, and being a good cook.
