Lucy Lawless Goes for the ‘Burn Notice’
Hit Series Features a Fantasy Fan Favorite
Sci-fi fans and crime dramedy fans shall join together in mutual enjoyment tonight when television’s most fearsome and fearless female ever, New Zealand native Lucy Lawless of Xena: Warrior Princess and Battlestar Galactica fame, joins this summer’s biggest spy sensation, Burn Notice. Taking on the role of Evelyn, an apparently desperate woman who enlists dethroned spook Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) for assistance locating her missing son and ex-husband, Lawless will hang around for just one episode that’s still guaranteed to deliver maximum impact.
In a recent interview with Zap2it, everyone’s favorite boxed Cylon on BSG reveals that Burn Notice regular Bruce Campbell, a longtime friend of her Evil Dead-producer husband Robert Tapert, helped make her guest-star turn a reality. The pair don’t have a scene together, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be good times for viewers when Michael inevitably realizes that all is not as it initially seemed with his latest client.
Besides tonight’s plum appearance in the Burn Notice episode “False Flag,” Lawless fans can look forward to more of Cylon D’Anna Biers when Battlestar returns to the Sci Fi Channel in January to commence its fourth and final season. Lawless will participate in a minimum of two installments after resuming work next month.

She was great on the show. She needs to be on more TV and especially movies!!
I couldn’t agree more, Angela. Now that Battlestar Galactica is almost over, Lucy deserves a great new role on another TV show. I wouldn’t mind if she returned to Burn Notice, but of course they killed off her character. Darn!
Lucy was AMAZING!! I am a DIE HARD fan of hers!!! BSG is ending and she needs another GREAT show to be on! She defintely needs to be in more movies and TV shows!! I just LOVE Lucy!
I couldn’t agree more, Larrin. Lucy rocks, and somebody should develop a show just for her *before* BSG is over.
a lucy faz tudo muito bem ! adoro muito ela!!!bjs
