Bruce, on Sam Axe and Burn Notice

[august]

This was at Blog Critics a while back. Excerpts:

.... in explaining how Sam manages to have such success with women, Bruce Campbell tells us "…It's his special skill with the ladies. So it doesn’t matter that he has no job or car or place to live. Sam can still get the ladies because, obviously, he's doing something with or to the ladies that is very successful, which we can’t discuss here."

.......

In general, Campbell seems quite happy with the show and what it has to offer, stating specifically "what I like about Burn Notice is that none of us are the young, pretty face. Donovan has been around for 20 years, I’ve been doing this for 30, and then Sharon Gless has been doing it for 40, and I think Gabrielle has been doing this since she was a kid, so she's probably 30 years at this. So, I like the fact that… they’ve [USA Network] really taken it upon themselves to do character-based shows, not something that's based on your age or your beauty. So I'm really glad to be part of a mature ensemble cast where we're not worried about all the wrong things."

I didn't want to make a new thread for this, so I'll just bump this one up.

If there's one thing the Internet has shown, it's that there's fans for just about anything. So, here's a tidbit from Sunglasses ID, which looks to be a fansite for sunglasses (as worn by celebrities). It's their official word on the type of sunglasses worn by Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe on Burn Notice:

Bruce Campbell, as Sam Axe, wears Persol 2833 sunglasses (havana frame, brown lenses) in the hit series Burn Notice.

Check out their page for the photos that prove their point.
Interestingly enough, the price quotes on the page indicate the glasses sell for around $170. Would Sam Axe really pay that much? I wonder.

For inquiring minds, Sunglasses ID also mentions that "Jeffrey Donovan, as Michael Westen in the same series, wears a pair of Oliver Peoples Victory sunglasses."
