'Burn Notice' exclusive: Jennifer Esposito goes gunning for Michael

Categories: Burn Notice

Jenniferespositosam_lDon’t panic. Samantha Who? hasn’t been canceled. But it has wrapped production for the season, which has freed Jennifer Esposito up to moonlight on cable’s hottest show.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Esposito has booked a multi-episode arc on Burn Notice as Michael’s (Jeffrey Donovan) latest arch nemesis. Her character, Michelle Paxon, is a Miami PD detective who becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Michael.

Esposito will debut early into BN’s third season, which started shooting last week and is scheduled to premiere in June.

    ahh, can’t wait! I’ve been wondering when Miami PD will start noticing that things around him keep exploding…

  • Jennf

    Awesome!!! After the season finale I am so pumped for the next season of Burn Notice. Now we know who he will have to keep off his back while dealing with his past coming back to haunt him…

  • JS

    I love Burn Notice. And I like Esposito who I find strangely hot.

  • michael

    Oh, boy, what will Fee think?

  • gj

    Can’t wait to see her. She does such an amazing job on Samantha Who that I’ve forgotten how she acts when she’s not playing a boozy, narcissistic, airhead.

  • John Ruggeri

    Its about time that the Miami pd starts to take notice that something is going on with Michael and that crime in the city is probably down a few percent. This is going to be interesting

  • londongirl

    I love this show and I hope season 3 is as good as the previous two.

  • Allie

    this is going to be really awesome!! i loved seeing jennifer esposito guest star on “rescue me”, so i think she’ll be great on “burn notice”! i bet there will be some jealousy between jennifer esposito’s character and fi! this will be interesting, but i can’t wait!

  • Mandy

    Coolio. Can’t wait.

  • To JS…

    “Strangely” hot!?!? Uh. Girl is “HOT” hot…no doubt about it.

  • Okie Sister

    Yeah, she’s fun!

  • secondbecky

    this makes me so excited! i LOVE her in Samantha Who. Her character might be top five favorites on tv (along with Barney Stinson, Ben, Sam Axe, Nikki Grant, and Janitor), and Burn Notice is top five favorite shows. So this is marriage made in heaven!

  • Meredith44

    I’m so excited for the third season, particularly as the second season ended so strongly. Thanks for the casting scoop!

  • Carol

    This just tics me off (and tics is not the word I wanted to use). Here’s an idea: why not hire an actress WHO DOESN’T ALREADY HAVE AN F-ING JOB?!

  • Thomas

    jennifer esposito is a great addition! muy caliente

  • jason

    SCORE! Esposito is the hotness!

  • dave

    i met jennifer on the set of “The Summer of Sam” a few years ago and she was stunning then. She’s even better now! Can’t wait for the new season.

  • DUSTIN

    Carol your comment made me laugh why would any1 care what happens behind the scenes in Hollywood unless your an out of work actress?

  • lynnzie

    I still want to know what happened with her marriage to Bradley Cooper. It was so short-lived…there must be a juicy story there. Love her on Samantha Who and loved her on the show where she was one of three sisters (that was cancelled).

  • pink

    I just hope she does NOT become Micheal’s new love interest!
    By the way,didn’t Bradley Cooper star with Jeffrey Donovan in Touching Evil?

  • Moxie

    to lynnzie…Ahhh, Related. I LOVED that show! I thought Jennifer, Kiele Sanchez and Lizzy Caplan were fanTAStic on that show. But there was a fourth sister, as well.

  • ks

    I agree with you pink, not a love interest please!!! I can stand her for a few episodes, only.

  • time4bedlam

    Hope she has the same wardrobe as Gabrielle Anwar.

  • jaysea

    She is my favorite.
    But she wrote that she felt lonely on her bolg on ……….seekamillionaire com…………, which is for wealthy singles and celebs.
    Also she posted many her hot videos on her blog.

  • sharane

    I cannot wait for the new season. Best show on TV. I would like to see reruns of this show on a daily basis. Tired of the same shows on reruns. Will not look at the other reruns. This one is the best so why do we not see reruns.

  • Marti8

    Love, Love, Love this show. The cast is awesome. Please no love interest for Michael. I love the tension he has with Fee and Bruce Campbell is the best sidekick. Can’t wait for Season 3.
