“Burn Notice” star Jeffrey Donovan has no plans to return to Los Angeles.
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 57-year-old actor talked about his move to Colorado after meeting his wife about one of his projects.
“I met my future wife while I was working, and she was from Colorado, and once I started traveling there, I never stopped,” he explained. “It’s an amazing situation and I’m raising my kids there, and we never leave.”
Donovan met his wife, Michelle Woods, in 2011, and the two got married a year later in August 2012 in a small ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Since their marriage, the couple have welcomed three children together: Claire, Lucas and Ethan. The actor and his wife are raising their children in Colorado, which he says is the true land of the sun, not Florida – which he said should be called “the land of thunder.”
“Colorado, secretly, is a sunny state,” he said. “It’s a nice part of the state that gets more sunlight than maybe Arizona and New Mexico.” It’s amazing. That’s why we exist. And that’s real health.”

The “Sicario” star shared that although she grew up in Boston, many of her friends now live in Los Angeles and are raising children there.
Although she misses her friends, she says they all agree that raising children is a “challenge,” and for her, being in Colorado makes it less so.

The actor first gained national attention with his role in “Burn Notice” in 2007. He played Michael Westen in the show, a former CIA agent who worked to find out who was behind the burn notice and why, without his usual names or tools.
He starred in the show for seven seasons and went on to host other episodes.
“I feel very lucky with the show, but I also know that at the time it was the most difficult job to this day that I’ve ever had,” he said at Build in November 2017. “It was difficult, but looking back if I didn’t take that job, and I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have met my future wife and had my three beautiful children.”

Donovan is currently starring in the three-part series “The Faithful,” which tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the perspective of the five women at the center of those stories.
The actor who plays Abraham, one of the most prominent figures in the Bible, told Fox News Digital that he thinks taking part will be a “huge undertaking.”

“There’s a part in the first hour where I talk to God and Minnie [Driver] playing with me and Sarah, to be honest, I was lost,” he remembered. “I felt the greatness, the pressure of how I can convey that I am really talking to God to the audience who want to talk to God or who have talked to God, or who want to believe that God exists. So I felt that pressure. “
Afterward, she credited her co-driver for getting her in the right frame of mind, saying she “got a hold of me in a way” and told her she was “enough,” Donovan said, “It was very powerful for me to feel connected.”

When it came to portraying the marriage between Abraham and Sara, Donovan said he “tried to be as realistic as possible,” adding that playing a couple who have been married for a long time, reinforced for him “that difficult marriage.”
“It is difficult, and if you and your partner, whoever it is, can reach an agreement that we are in it for a long time, that our children, if you are blessed enough to have children, are more important than you, and you put your eggs in that basket to go, ‘We are providers, we are their educators, and they learn humanity from us and your children,’ that is good,” he said.
