7Jeffrey Thomas Donovan (born May 11, 1968 in Amesbury, Massachusetts) is an American actor best known for playing Series/{{MacGyver|1985}}-esque super spy Michael Westen on USA's ''Series/BurnNotice''. When he's not doing that, Clint Eastwood seems fond of him, casting him in ''Film/{{Changeling}}'' as police Captain J.J. Jones and in ''Film/JEdgar'' as UsefulNotes/RobertFKennedy. Known for his rugged looks and his thick [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Massachusetts accent]] which he [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent rarely masks]]. When he's not playing Michael on ''Series/BurnNotice'' he tends to be cast as [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]], as in the Creator/WillSmith RomCom ''Film/{{Hitch}}''.
