Gabrielle Anwar has an impressive resume and her latest stop is the show "Burn Notice" on USA where she is playing a character named Fiona that is more than a little hot and more than a little dangerous.

“I don’t think Fiona’s the type of gal who takes lunches with her BFF. I don’t even think she gets her nails done. I think that any attempt at being aesthetically feminine goes to the wayside when handling all these black market weapons,” she said like a person that has little in common with her character in real life. “I think that perhaps she doesn’t really settle anywhere. So as far as an apartment is concerned, I’m not sure she has many trinkets other than her snowglobes. She’s not your average woman, let’s face it.

“I have my own secret fantasies of who she is and where she came from and where she’s going. But unfortunately that life hasn’t connected to mine.”

Will she and Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) ever become an item again or will Carla (Tricia Helfer) get in the way?

“I think that Fiona is as threatened as Fiona can get. I don’t think it’s about necessarily how attractive physically a woman is. I think it’s how much a monopoly she might have on Michael Westen’s mind and livelihood and thinking. So I think she is perhaps threatened by Carla more so than anybody else she would be threatened by,” Anwar stated.

She has a challenging role but what she thinks of as challenging is possibly different than what you might have in mind.

“That I still have to speak the American dialect. I think it’s a bit nerve racking now that we’re heading into season three that I’m still going to be in a bikini,” she said seriously. “I think I’ll probably have to have a hip replacement if we get to season eight. I’m not sure if the bikini’s going to work then.”

The show is fun to watch and apparently the crew is easy to work with as well.

“I don’t know if I have just one moment. Every day that I’m working on that show I really feel incredibly blessed to be there. And I’m really not kidding you. I know that’s an awful cliché to hear, but I really mean it. I just have a series of memorable moments that are strung together, which makes me very happy, because otherwise I’d just be hoping to relive the lost memorable moment. But I’m actually looking forward to going back to work. It’s something I haven’t often said.”

So how does she create the onscreen chemistry with her male counterparts?

“Because I’m a woman.”

Does Anwar dabble in firearms in her spare time?

“I’m very glad that we have a wonderful weapons master who knows what he’s doing with a weapon, because I’m clueless,” she said honestly. “Without the crew, I would look absolutely ridiculous, which is basically the way I look when the camera’s not rolling. I’m really enjoying the fantasy of it because, obviously, it’s not really a role that I’ve been offered in the past. So I’m really relishing the fact that I think I’m tough. It’s challenging to really make it look like I know what I’m doing.”
