1. Donnie Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg plays lead character Danny Reagan. He shared with TODAY that his success came from his strong work ethic. "I think when I was younger, it wasn’t so much, the success I dreamed was possible. I wouldn’t have worked so hard at it if I didn’t think it was possible. So, I did it, and I committed to it, and got there."

Bridget Moynahan plays Erin Reagan on the show. She tells Us Weekly that health and wellness are important to her. “I know everybody would love to hear about a secret pill or great cleanse,” she said of her wellness routine. “It’s just going back to what we were taught in school … eating and working out. I’ve just always been active. It’s been part of my lifestyle my entire life. It’s been instilled from my childhood.”

3. Will Estes

Will Estes plays Jamie Reagan on the show. He shared his training process for roles with Men’s Journal. “I try to train based on the role. I played a marine once so all I did was running, pushups and boxing. I did anything that was combat-oriented. I would go shoot and box and just sort of get into the whole mindset. In general I just like to run around and stay active. I did a little gymnastics when I was a kid so I'll run around and find a bar and try to do as many pull-ups as I can do. In terms of nutrition, I just try to eat clean.”

4. Jennifer Esposito

Jennifer Esposito played Jackie Curatola on the first three seasons. In an interview with Variety, she talked about dealing with career setbacks. “I just got so frustrated with where my career had gone and where it was supposed to go — the way I feel it should have — and I thought, ‘Instead of complaining about the stuff that you’re not getting and not seeing, I can’t complain anymore,'” she says. “It was like you’re either quitting or you’re going to do something about it. I would say, without being dramatic, ‘I don’t think I’d be able to die unless I do this.’ It was something that needed to be done.”

5. Sami Gayle

Sami Gayle played Nicky Reagan on the show’s first ten seasons, and has made a couple of guest appearances since. She is also a Broadway star, recently appearing in Bad Cinderella. Gayle talked about her goals in an interview with Broadway World. “I think the goal of having the MBA is to be able to make content that I'm passionate about, and I think it's useful to be able to produce to ensure that I can do that in today's world, where there are so many different streaming platforms, and platforms for performance. So, my hope is to be able to use that degree and producing background - I've already co-produced a movie called Candy Jar that my brother wrote, and we have a couple more movies currently in development- to continue doing that producing work. And continue telling stories that I'm passionate about for myself, and also empowering other actors and other playwrights, and screenwriters, and crew members, all that stuff in the process, to be able to tell the stories they want to tell too.”

6. Tom Selleck

Tom Selleck plays Frank Reagan on the show. He has been in the public eye for years, however, he values his privacy. "I knew intellectually what it would mean in terms of being a public person, but until you've lived it, there's no way to understand it," Selleck told People. "I had a feeling of, 'I don't think I'm cut out for this.' I quit Magnum, not because I didn't like it or I was tired of it. I was tired from it. And I wanted a three-dimensional life because I didn't have one."

7. Marisa Ramirez

Marisa Ramirez plays Maria Baez on the show. She joined the show in season three, and was promoted to main cast member in season four. In an interview with Pop Culture, Ramirez talked about how she booked the role. "There was a phase where I was the crying girlfriend. It was the sad girlfriend. It was like a bunch of guest star roles that was happening for a little while. Then maybe something happened in my personal life, where I just kind of evolved as a person and found some strength that was being seen in these casting rooms, and I just kept being cast as a cop."

8. Vanessa Ray

Vanessa Ray has played Eddie Janko-Reagan since the third season. In an interview with Long Island Weekly, Ray talked about how she prepared for the role. “Our producer, James Niciforo, who is the unsung hero of our show, took Marisa [Ramirez], Will [Estes] and I to a shooting range,” said Ray. “It was the first time I ever shot a gun since I didn’t really grow up with guns. I also did some SWAT-type training and learned how to clear a room. I have so much respect for police officers with the amount of gear that they’re wearing on a day-to-day basis and being in such great physical shape.”

9. Abigail Hawk

Abigail Hawk plays the recurring role of Abigail Baker. She talked about working on the show in an interview with Hamptons.com. “I feel as if I’ve almost grown into myself as a woman in this decade that I’ve been working,” she said. “Really, everything that I’ve learned as a professional actor has happened on my time on the show. It’s a personal triumph for me, but it’s also a professional and creative triumph. It’s incredibly rare for a network show to make it to 100 episodes, let alone 200.”

Lorraine Bracco played Margaret Dutton on the show. She shared her secrets for getting in shape in an interview with ABC News. "I started off very slow. My feeling is also, you sign up to go to the gym and you go to two classes and then you can't walk. It's just not the way to do it. Now, I go to Pilates class three times a week. I love that there are women who are in their 80s in my class and there were kids who are 23."

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

Annabeth Gish had a recurring role as Alice Sands on the show. She shared her approach to skincare in an interview with Glamour. “I’m typically a minimalist because too much stuff is just rigorous for me, but as I’m aging, I do have a few things that are definitely on my bedside table.”

7. Donnie Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg had a recurring role as Lieutenant Joe Grant. He tells Country Living that he loves Frank’s red hot sauce, and it helps him eat healthy. "A lot of people don’t like egg whites for breakfast, they think it’s not as tasty as regular eggs," he says. "If you want to make them more tasty, put Frank’s on it. People don’t like grilled chicken breast, they think it’s kind of bland. They want to put barbecue sauce all over it or this or that. I put Frank’s on it. It’s kind of a no brainer."

8. Jaqueline Bisset

Jaqueline Bisset played the recurring role of Constance Isles. She opened up about her diet and favorite foods to Parade. “I used to eat more meat when I grew up near Redding, England, and we also had lots of white sugar and white flour. I did have organic vegetables out of the garden. Now bringing them home from the market is kind of an uplifting moment. Since my 40s I’ve been sorting out my diet, throwing the frying pan away and getting the steamer out which makes me feel lighter. I use cold-pressed olive oil and don’t cook high temperature foods. I do make lots of vegetable soup with al dente vegetables. I need to be careful with salt or I get very puffy.”

9. Chris Vance

Chris Vance had a recurring role as Charles Jones on the show. He talked about getting into acting to Backstage.com. “I decided to take a chance at something I knew nothing about and see if I could learn something about myself.

Explore the fitness routines of the actors from "Burn Notice," a thrilling TV series about Michael Weston, a former spy who finds himself 'burned' and cut off from his intelligence agency. The show follows Michael's endeavors to uncover why he's been burned while helping others with his espionage skills. Jeffrey Donovan, portraying Michael, enjoys diving for fitness. Gabrielle Anwar, as Fiona, practices yoga. Each cast member, including Bruce Campbell and Coby Bell, shares their unique approach to wellness, reflecting the diverse methods they use to maintain health amidst the physical and mental demands of acting in this action-packed series.

1. Jeffrey Donovan

Jeffrey Donovan played lead character, Michael Weston, on the show. In a 2011 interview with Men’s Health, he revealed that he loves to dive to stay in shape. "Diving is a very solitary, very insular, peaceful activity. At 100 feet there are no phones, and no one's bothering you—there's just a bunch of fish wondering what the hell you're doing in their backyard."

2. Gabrielle Anwar

Gabrielle Anwar played one of the main roles, Fiona Glenanne. In a 2010 interview with SELF, Anwar revealed that she practices yoga to stay in shape. “I love yoga because every muscle is being toned from the moment one spreads their toes on that mat. My goal is not to target the area that might be less toned than another, my goal is to feel that during each pose, I bring awareness into each muscle, each space around each muscle, each joint, each space around each joint, and so on and so on, so that I do not neglect a single part of my whole. I am less concerned about an area of 'imperfection,' because I am not a professional bodybuilder, model nor trainer. What I am is imperfect. Gleefully so.”

3. Bruce Campbell

Bruce Campbell played one of the main characters, Sam Axe, on the show. He talked about what he thinks makes a successful film or series with Artpublika Magazine. “Everybody involved in a project, in my opinion, has to let the material rule. If it’s a comedy, then liven up your game. If it’s a serious drama, ok, tone it down a little bit; keep the intensity. And, everybody has got to be in the same movie. Actors are not allowed to be in their own little sphere; they have to acknowledge the world around them.”

4. Coby Bell

Coby Bell played Jesse Porter, joining the main cast in season four. He also appeared in the 2017 FOX sci-fi series, The Gifted. Bell shared how the show incorporates social issues to Show Biz Junkies. “I guess it’s a way of talking about social issues without talking directly about them, you know? It makes it a little more palatable, a little less preachy. But at that same time, the message is getting across. It’s really cool. Starting with Star Trek, they were breaking some serious barriers but it’s in outer space so it’s fine. So, yes, I never thought about it. It’s cool.”

5. Tricia Helfer

Tricia Helfer played Carla Baxter in season two. She has amazing skin, and makes sure to take care of it. “I like to use Proactiv cleansers when I’m working, because they seem to deep clean the skin from all the set makeup,” she told Real Style Network. “When I’m not working, I use a Kiehl’s Rare Earth cleanser and cucumber toner. For toners, serums and moisturizers, I vary it between Nars, Kiehl’s, Prai and La Mer. When I was filming in New Mexico last fall, the climate is so insanely dry that the only thing that kept my skin from falling off was La Mer. It’s so expensive but it certainly did help with that crazy climate.”

6. Moon Bloodgood

Moon Bloodgood played Michelle Paxson in season three. She is an action star known for her roles in Falling Skies and Terminator Salvation. While promoting Falling Skies, Bloodgood revealed to CineSnob that she does a lot of her own stunts. “I did a lot of my own stunts in ‘Terminator Salvation.’ With this one, it’s not as physical because I play a doctor. I’m not out in the field battling with the aliens. At times it was physical, because doing a show of this kind of magnitude is crazy. There are crazy and demanding hours.”

7. Chris Vance

Chris Vance played the recurring role Mason Gilroy in season three. While promoting his show Transporter, Vance revealed the intense training he did to prepare for it. “I put in about three months of training before we start the shoot,” he told My Take On TV. “Before the first principle day of photography, I generally put in about three months of training. Just for stamina reasons; it’s not always to do with fighting. It’s a lot to do with stamina training, stretching, running and aerobic sort of training.”

8. Sonja Sohn

Sonja Sohn played Olivia Riley in season six. She shared how she stays in shape for roles to DailyActor. “My health and wellness regimen in general is more influenced by just the way I want to feel as a human being. But also, being an actress and being in front of the camera, you do have to be conscious of that, and so it’s more tied into just understanding the nature of my job. Iimage is a big part of the job. And how you are – and how the camera captures you is important. But like I said, it's more influenced by just my personal choice on what kind of shape I want to be in. I might want to be walking around 25 years from now, so I should be eating and exercising.”

9. Danny Pino

Danny Pino played Adam Scott in the fourth season. He shared his secrets to a successful marriage to Closer Weekly. “It takes work. So even on days you don’t necessarily feel like you want to follow through with things, it’s important to make the effort, to show that you’re there and you care, to try to understand what’s going on. Just like in acting, the most important thing in a relationship for me is listening. And we love to travel together!”

10. Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt had a recurring role as Calvin Schmidt in the sixth season. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Oswalt opened up about returning to comedy after the passing of his first wife. “I had this weird breakthrough onstage during a set down in Irvine last month, like, ‘Oh, this is just going to be uncomfortable. I’m going to have to make comedy out of it being uncomfortable.’ That set was the first one where I just embraced how awful it was.”

11. Garret Dillahunt

Garret Dillahunt played the villainous Simon Escher on the show. He talked about his career to Leo Edit. “I directed an episode of Raising Hope, and I enjoyed it very much. For a long time, I didn’t have any aspirations beyond that. I felt very fulfilled. I feel pretty lucky in the roles I’ve gotten to play as an actor. I know plenty of actors that can do what I do. I get flattered when people say, you can do anything, you do comedy, you do drama, you do whatever, because I feel like I know so many people that can do that and do it even better, but just weren’t given the opportunity. And I’ve been given those opportunities, and I love it and I never thought I would produce anything. But as you get older, you want to have a little more of a hand in things. If I’m not having fun, what’s the point? And so, if you think you can do better, why don’t you get your hands a little dirty? And I wish I’d done that a long time ago. Don’t wait until you think you deserve it or that you have all the knowledge, ’cause you’ll never feel that way.”

AJ Cook played Jennifer Jareau on the show. She loves to run, and talked about this to Women’s Running. “I’ve run all my life really, but just because it was a good way to get cardio in. I never enjoyed it. Just in the last year or so, I’ve come to love how I feel when I run. It’s that time where I just get to escape from everything—no phone, no computer, I’m not working, I just shut that side of my brain off and let the other side of my brain open up.”

2. Paget Brewster

Paget Brewster played Emily Prentiss. On Twitter, she opened up about her decision to not dye her hair. "I have felt pressure to dye it, pretend to be 35 again, no thanks," she wrote. "We all have huge issues to address, I know. This is one small battle. But I think all of us have small personal battles. Let’s start by being kind to each other, even when we disagree. Please."

3. Shemar Moore

Shemar Moore played Derek Morgan on the show. He talked about his approach to diet and exercise to Men’s Health. "Don't get it twisted, whatever you do in the gym—I don't care how far you run or how heavy you lift—getting lean and mean starts in the kitchen with your diet," says Moore. "If you're diet ain't right, you're going to drive yourself crazy in the gym. You might get a little stronger, but you're not going to get prettier.”

4. Rachel Nichols

Rachel Nichols played Ashley Seaver on the show. In an interview with Smashing Interviews, she talked about the importance of having quality time with her husband. “It’s been crucial and non-negotiable that we spent a lot of time together since we live together and weren’t allowed to go anywhere. But I’m pretty easy. I love to go home to Maine to see my family. I’m actually leaving to go to Maine in the middle of November. I haven’t been home in two years. It’s the longest I’ve ever gone without seeing my parents. So I’d maintain that travel is my favorite thing to do on my down time.”

5. Joe Mantegna

Joe Mantegna played David Rossi on the show. He talked about his workout secrets with Parade. “For the last 23 years, I’ve lived in a two-story house, and so I often run up the stairs—an opportunity. I spend a good portion of the day going up and down. If I’m in a building that’s three stories, I walk up the stairs. If I’m traveling—and there’s somewhere I can walk—I’ll do that or take a bicycle. I used to go to the gym, but don’t feel the need now. I felt I spent too much time chatting with other people about what we do for a living.”

6. Kirsten Vangsness

Kirsten Vangsness played Penelope Garcia on the show. She talked about how she approached the reboot to Parade. “I'm not writing an episode because gosh, I love acting. Writing is fun for me, and I find it really pleasurable, but it’s hard for me to do for Criminal Minds because I’m not as good at it as everybody else. I was taking acting classes for six months before I got back here and I was very excited to be like, I want to do this better than I did before. I want to try things and be more.”

7. Aisha Tyler

Aisha Tyler played Tara Lewis on the show. She described her diet to People as a modified paleo diet. “This means that for the most part, I avoid refined carbohydrates, grains, dairy and sugar. That said, I’m not super strict. I try to be as disciplined as I can during the week so that I can eat what I want on the weekends, which includes pasta, bread and other fun stuff.”

8. Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt played Kate Callahan on the show. She tells Hello! Magazine that she loves Palmer’s products. “Palmers is classic. I knew about it before pregnancy. But once I was pregnant I used it, it worked and I loved it. The massage cream for stretch marks and the skin therapy oil. Yes, those are the two Palmers products I've used. I've used it twice a day-morning and night.”
