USA NETWORK GREENLIGHTS TWO CAST-CONTINGENT PILOTS:"TO LOVE AND DIE IN L.A." STARRING SHIRI APPLEBY AND "BURN NOTICE" STARRING JEFFREY DONOVAN

LOS ANGELES, CA October 6, 2006 - USA Network has announced casting on two cast-contingent pilots, the ninety-minute TO LOVE AND DIE IN L.A. with Shiri Appleby ("Six Degrees," "Swimfan") and the one-hour BURN NOTICE with Jeffrey Donovan ("Touching Evil," "Monk"). Sara Goodman is the creator and co-executive producer of TO LOVE AND DIE IN L.A. with JoAnn Alfano and David Kanter as executive producers and Andrew Singer as producer. The project is from Lorne Michaels Broadway Video Television in association with NBC Universal Television Studio. BURN NOTICE is executive produced by Mikkel Bondesen ("**** & Bull," Catch That Kid") and written and co-executive produced by Matt Nix ("**** & Bull") with Fox Television Studios and Fuse Entertainment producing. The announcement was made by Jackie de Crinis, senior vice president of original scripted series programming for USA.

TO LOVE AND DIE IN L.A. is about a young woman (Appleby) with abandonment issues who is convinced that her dating problems will be resolved if she can track down the father she never knew. When she finds him and discovers that he's a contract killer, her relationship issues begin to make sense and she realizes she may have found a new career path.

Shiri Appleby began her acting career at the young age of four. After appearing in various national commercials she earned her first television job in daytime appearing on "Santa Barbara." Next came roles on "thirtysomething," and "Doogie Howser, M.D.," "7th Heaven" and "City Guys" among others. Soon after, Appleby landed the role of Liz Parker on "Roswell" and can currently be seen on the series "Six Degrees." She has also been seen in numerous films including "Swimfan," "The Other Sister" and "What Love Is" and will next be seen in "Charlie Wilson's War" written by Aaron Sorkin and produced by Tom Hanks.

When spies get fired, they don't get a letter from human resources. While on assignment, Michael Weston (Donovan) gets a BURN NOTICE and becomes untouchable. Having no idea what or who triggered his demise, he is determined to find out the reason for his sudden termination. Unable to utilize his normal contacts and needing to stay under the spy network radar, he puts his Special Ops training to use to help those who the police can't or won't, in order to fund his ongoing personal investigation.

Jeffrey Donovan has appeared on screen in numerous television and film projects. His television credits include guest-starring roles on USA's "Monk," "Yes, Dear," "Crossing Jordan," "CSI: Miami," "Law & Order," "Threshold" and the HBO original picture "When Trumpets Fade" among others. Donovan also starred in the USA original series "Touching Evil" and has had recurring roles on "Spin City," "The Beat" and "The Pretender." Donovan's film credits include "Hitch," "Purpose," " Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2," "Bait" and Barry Levinson's "Sleepers." He made his feature film debut in "Throwing Down," which won the grand prize Best Feature Film Award at the Hampton's International Film Festival and later appeared in the indie film "Sam and Joe" (winner Best Supporting Actor LA Method Fest). Donovan also appeared on Broadway as "Marco" in the Roundabout Theatre's Tony Award winning revival of "A View From The Bridge," directed by Michael Mayer and starring Anthony LaPaglia and Allison Janney, and in the Tony Award winning production of "An Inspector Calls." Donovan's off-Broadway credits include the hit comedy "Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight," "The Glory Of Living" directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Troilus and Cressida," and the Pulitzer Prize runner-up "Freedomland." Born and raised in Massachusetts, Donovan attended the University of Massachusetts and graduated from New York University's Graduate Acting Program where he received his MFA. Donovan currently resides in Los Angeles. This year, he will also appear in the feature film "Come Early Morning," written and directed by Joey Lauren Adams, which premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

Mir - your avatar makes my knee hurt. I dislocated my left knee skiing about three years ago and seeing someone bend their knee that way..... owey

**Hell on Heels** · 01-07-2007, 10:49 AM

She's really shakin' it isn't she.

Sorry about your knee. Ouch. I love skiing.

Thanks for the new thread MR G. Could you believe that I was in Vail last month and I did not ski? I was too busy doing other things that I did not find the time to ski. One of these days I would love to try and learn how to ski. BTW I love your avatar ML. It reminds me of me when I listen to music.

Guess you have Vontage (phone service).

[That's the background video Vontage used in their first TV commercials a few years back.]

I haven't met a person yet who doesn't like skiing after they try it.

And I'd love to see you listen to music.

Nope, no vontage. I just like to shake it.

And I recognized it from a commercial from years back too only I thought it was a Mac iPod commercial.

I love vontages 'people do stupid things' commercials.

Negra Luna · 01-08-2007, 06:52 AM

That is not from the Vonage commercial. Its from that Apple-ipod commercial.

The next opportunity I get to go skiing I will definitely give it a try. I will probably end up in a full body cast after I try it but I am sure I will have lots of fun.

I love to dance around my living room and make a complete fool out of myself by playing air guitar, Mandolin, Bass, Piano, Organ, Accordion, Harmonica, Drums and every other instrument under the sun while I am singing on the top of my lungs as I pretend I am a rock star.

I can give William Hung a run for his money any day.

My brother in law makes fun of me and thinks I am nuts. Personally I could care less. I went to see the band moe. on NYE. At one point during the concert I looked over to my right and noticed three people playing air guitar and it made me smile.

If you fall, you'll be okay. Mostly.

Just learn how to stop so you don't mow people or buildings down.

Air guitar, huh? Never played any guitar. I just dance to music. A lot. Sounds like you had a blast at that concert.

I will try my best just keep in mind that I am so uncoordinated.

I am amazing at air guitar howver I am not so good at playing a real guitar. Maybe shiri could teach me? That concert was mind blowing. I will send you a couple of links so you can view some photos from the concert as well as stream or download the actual concert.
