Carlos Bernard has admitted that he won’t be returning to 24 next season.
Bernard, who plays Tony Almeida in the crime drama, revealed all on his official website.
Bernard said: “I’m asked this question on a daily basis, so I might as well answer it. I’ll never say never when it comes to 24.
24 isn’t back until early 2010, but for those of us suffering from withdrawal symptoms, Fox have released this fab promo.
The show will return for season 8 with a special two-night, four-hour season premiere.
Kiefer Sutherland has reportedly suggested that 24 could survive without his character Jack Bauer.
The 42-year-old told The Sun: “All of us, for the actors to the writers, understood from day one we are not, and never will be, the heartbeat of the show – if you look at the major characters to have died over the years you know you can be killed off, and the show will get better without you.”
Julian Morris
Rami Malek, Julian Morris and Hrach Titizian have reporedtly signed up to appear on the eighth season of 24.
The Hollywood Reporter states that:
Malek (”Night at the Museum”) will play Marcos, a would-be suicide bomber who is Arab American with sympathies toward radical Islam.
Morris (”ER”) will play a CTU SWAT agent. Titizian will play Nabeel, the second-in-command of security for President Hassan (Anil Kapoor).
Malek, who next appears in HBO’s “The Pacific,” is repped by Defining Artists and Kyle Fritz Management.
Last seen in cancelled Firefly, Gina Torres is next to appear on CW’s Gossip Girl.
Gina has also previously starred in Alias and 24 and is now to join Gossip as Gabriela Abrams, the mother of Vanessa Abram.
Abrams is billed as a “free spirit” living “off the grid” in Vermont. She will appear in two episodes, having a strong opinion about her daughter who is about to enroll at New York University.
Poor old Kim Raver has had a bad year. First her show Lipstick Jungle gets cancelled and now her chances of a return to hit TV show 24 look slim.
Kim played Jack Bauer’s love interest Audrey in season six. However at the end of the season she lapsed into a catatonic state.
Speculation has been going on for years but the signs are strong that season eight may be the last we see of 24.
Kiefer Sutherland’s contract runs out after season eight and Fox TV executive Kevin Reilly has reportedly hinted that the eighth series could be the end of the show.
Jürgen Prochnow is joining the cast of 24. For 24’s eighth season, Prochnow will play Bazhaev, the head of an Eastern European organized crime syndicate.
“He’s essentially a Godfather,” says executive producer Howard Gordon.
Remember the days when Jack Bauer was happy? We can barely cast our minds back that far. However word is that when 24 returns for season seven, Jack will be happy and somewhat fulfilled after regaining contact with his daughter and grand-daughter.
During the Comic Con panel yesterday Executive producer Manny Coto said:
Kiefer Sutherland’s 24 has been voted the most addictive TV series.
The American show which centres around Jack Bauer beat off Doctor Who, Prison Break, Lost, Friends and Heroes to top the poll by more than 3,000 Lovefilm members.
“Although crime doesn’t pay, as our list reveals, it most certainly pulls in the viewers, and shows like 24 have clearly found the right mix of suspense, drama and action to keep us coming back for more,” said Darren Bignell from Lovefilm.com.
I’ll let you know if I agree with the poll if I ever get past season two of the show!
Clayne Crawford has joined the cast of “24″ in a recurring role.
On the show’s upcoming eighth season, Crawford will play a bad boy from Dana Walsh’s past.
Dana is played by Katee Sackhoff, who recently signed on as an expert data analyst at CTU with a secret past who is involved with CTU agent Davis Cole (Freddie Prinze Jr.).
Crawford has previously starred in CSI, Jericho and Cold Case.
Freddie Prinze Jr is set to join the cast of 24 for it’s 8th season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Freddie will play Davis Cole, a Jack Bauer wannabe.
Freddie, who is expecting his first child with wife Sarah Michelle Geller, will be a series regular in the eighth season, which began filming this week.
Other guest stars for the series include Slumdog Millionaire star Anil Kapoor, who plays a Middle Eastern leader, Chris Diamantopoulos, as the president’s new chief of staff, and John Boyd as a CTU systems analyst.
Hit US TV series 24, have announced that they drastically reduced their carbon footprint for the current seventh season of the show.
The show’s Carbon Footprint was cut by 43% through greener efforts by all on the cast and crew.
According to FOX, “nearly a year after announcing its aim to reduce its carbon footprint and inspire its viewers to do the same, ‘24,’ the Emmy Award-winning series from Imagine and Twentieth Century Fox Television, has far exceeded its carbon-reduction goals and will be the first television production ever to achieve carbon neutrality.”
Time runs out for Jack (Golden Globe® and Emmy® winner Kiefer Sutherland) as Day 7 reaches its thrilling conclusion with an emotionally charged, action packed double episode finale, exclusive to Sky1 and Sky1 HD on Monday 25th May at 9pm.
It’s been another very long day for Jack. After being whisked away from the Senate hearing by the FBI and used to track down the very much alive and well Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), Jack saw off General Juma and Colonal Matobo, ensuring the CIP device was destroyed before more innocent lives were lost.
As it draws to the end of its seventh season, 24 is preparing for a new day. Plans are already underfoot for season eight and they have started by casting Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) to star as a series regular. In his first American television role, Kapoor will play a Middle Eastern leader who comes to the U.S. on a peacemaking mission.
