She's out of the way, but that's not necessarily a good thing. She was the evil temptress of the last season. He's not necessarily under the thumb of Carla any more. So his world is a little more unstable this year. It's going to get worse for Michael Westen this year, because of a couple of things that have happened as a result of the last two-parter. Is that pretty much the whole theme as the season seems to evolve?īruce Campbell: I think so. It's interesting, the first episode that's showing up Thursday night, the way it was constructed, that it really ends up with Madeline talking to all three of you saying that as characters that you all three needed to work together to watch each other's back, and it seems like Michael has the biggest target. Television is fake, so if we had to fake Florida we could. But there's also the reality of, if we don't then we'll leave and fake it. So we have to see, as long as we can get incentives to stay in Florida, we'll stay. It was great palling around with the governor for a day, trying to bend his arm a little bit, saying, "Hey, Gov, why don't you help us out here?" Because producers tend to go where it's the least expensive, and that's nothing against producers, every producer does that. We're the only show that is currently shooting in Miami, and the governor even came, Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida. Even CSI: Miami doesn't even shoot in Miami, they shoot in California, so we're it. But for the sake of the show Miami is a good spot. I have kids there, too, so a lot of personal reasons. I live in Oregon, but it would be closer to my West Coast. Miami is a character in this show, and if we moved it would probably be to California because it makes casting easier, all the writers live there, the actors, half of them live there. I was wondering A) how do you feel about that and B) if the show had actually got up and moved, where would you have liked to have seen it gone?īruce Campbell: Hypotheticals are tough and I don't ever want to give any impressions that I don't like shooting in Miami. I wanted to ask about the Expo Center almost getting demolished recently, and it sounds like you got a one-year reprieve to stay there for a while longer.īruce Campbell: We did, we got a one-year reprieve. It's a fairly mature, adult sort of comedy/drama, with no fantastic special effects. What's different is also the subject matter. I did a western show, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., and I did a - well actually, no, I did a spy show, Jack of All Trades, where I played the very first spy, but this is, I guess, you'd say sort of modern day, realistic approach where it's not Hercules or Xena or something fantastic going on. I've never really done a spy show before, so this is a first for me. So it's different in every way physically, and the dynamics are different. What's different, of course, is we're in Miami, which is a completely out of the box thing for me because I live in Oregon, at the complete opposite end of the country. You're doing between 6 and 11 pages per day, which is a lot. I was wondering, how is Burn Notice different from past TV shows you've done?īruce Campbell: Well, the making of television is the same, it's very fast. Sam is pretty much living in Michael's mother's house, a room in her house, so he's just kind of a permanent loser, at least in this season. I don't know that Sam is going to get married or any personal revelation. He's a hopefully valuable member of the team now, and so, like Michael Westen, Sam is taking the twists and turns as they come now. Take a look at what he had to say below.Ĭan you tell us a bit about what direction we can see Sam going in this third season?īruce Campbell: Well, Sam by now is, we're now past the point where we don't trust him. Campbell plays the wonderful Sam Axe on the series, who provides for a lot of the comedy in the show, and I was in on a conference call with the acting legend where he was discussing the new season and much much more in this highly entertaining conference call. Bruce Campbell is back with Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar and Sharon Gless when the hit USA Network series Burn Notice returns for its third season on Thursday, June 4 at 9 PM ET.
