Michael Westen
Played by: Jeffrey Donovan
Michael Westen is a former spy who has recently received a burn notice, which let him know that he was no longer needed. The notice came as a shock, and Michael is now searching for answers as to why the
agency he served so long would leave him high and dry when he has done nothing wrong. Michael left home when he was only a teenager to get away from his abusive father and recently it was noted that
had stolen many cars even before the age of 12. Although, he came back saying he did it so they could get to the grocery store when his father was on one of his "bends." As Michael is on the hunt for
reasons as to why he received the burn notice, he also helps out family, friends, and acquaintances with any problem that they may have.
