They did a close-up of him, he now has a little mustache, had a hat on but it sure did look like him. He was very happy and I'm wondering if he's from the Boston area. Last name is Donovan..

(296,893 posts)3. Jeffrey Donovan is from Boston! Ooops.. not Boston..
He has a very distinctive face.. I wouldn't be surprised. I've just been watching Burn Notice episodes by the seasons!
Sorry, thought he was from Boston..
Donovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts,[1] and raised, along with two brothers, Michael and Sean, by their mother. Of his childhood, Donovan recalled:
I grew up really poor. We grew up on welfare a single mom with three boys. We didn't have anything. Christmas would come around, shed rewrap gifts shed given us before. We moved about 10 times in my childhood. When you come home from school and the lights dont go on, you think: We're moving! You can't pay electric bills on welfare. We became very frugal.[3]
At Amesbury High School, he was mentored by teacher Patricia Hoyt. She aided him in starting a drama club[4] and then found him a private scholarship, enabling him "to participate in a summer program that helped pave the way for his acting career."[5] He attended Bridgewater State University before transferring to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated with a BA in theater. While attending UMass, Jeff was a commercial bus driver at UMass Transit Service, where he operated passenger busses as part of the PVTA. He went on to earn his MFA from New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts.
