her enemies. As a character, Michael is seen to have several 'trademark' characteristics. He wears expensive suits (during one episode he reveals the label showing the suit to be Armani, and always wears the same pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses, which he at one points states to have retrieved from an Algerian special ops soldier that he tangled with who "didn't need them anymore." At end of Season 2, Michael takes off his sunglasses for his meeting with Management before jumping out of the latter's helicopter, although he obtains another pair. His favorite snack food is yogurt, particularly blueberry, and he keeps a ready supply in his refrigerator. Appearances Michael Westen appears in tie-in novels written by Tod Goldberg. The official website for the show has a collection of short videos in which Michael dispenses advice for certain problems people have, such as how to evade an ex who's been following them or how to get a table at a restaurant that's booked solid. Michael even explains how to break out of a prison in Turkmenistan, although he gives the camera a look before starting. In general, the "advice" is theoretically possible but impractical for most people. For instance, the explanation on how to break out of a prison in Turkmenistan ends with Michael telling the person to swim across the Caspian Sea. Westen is also briefly mentioned in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume III: 2009 as a disgruntled former CIA agent providing intelligence to MI6.
