Excellence in casting, Vol. 62 (no, not Ray Wise again)

Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica’s most excellent Cylon Six (and, according to me, one of the most underrated actresses of her generation), has been cast for a multi-episode arc on Burn Notice.
The USA Network summer show stars Jeffrey Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar (and Sharon Gless!) and Helfer would be Michael’ (Donovan) “sleek, sexy and lethal ‘handler,’ who often comes across as unaffected and slightly amused by him,” says Michael Ausiello at TVGuide.com.
Teases series creator Matt Nix: “To protect the people he loves, Michael is forced to work for Carla — his only link to the people behind his burn notice.”
Burn Notice returns July 10 and it was one of my favorites last summer. Donovan’s Michael was a sort of low-grade Jack Bauer with a badass sidekick and lady love Fiona (her skillset runs more toward the lethal than the computer, so she’s not really his Chloe, even though she sorta is). And his friend Sam played the sort of Sock (Reaper) role, always wisecracking, but coming through in the clutch. Usually.
I’m really going to enjoy this season…
