I am – Hercules!!

Freddie Prinze Jr. will follow in the footsteps of Ricky Schroeder and James Badge Dale as the latest Jack Bauer wannabe in next year’s eighth season of 24, which revives the Counter-Terrorism Unit in New York City. From The Hollywood Reporter:

Sources said Prinze is joining the cast of Fox's "24" as a regular, playing Davis Cole, a recently returned Marine who runs CTU Field Ops and wants to follow in Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) footsteps.

I suspect I’d be more excited were Bauer’s new protégé played by one of the “Wing Commander” star’s many three-named former co-stars, among them Rachael Leigh Cook and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Those already confirmed to return from season seven include Annie Wersching as Renee Walker and Cherry Jones as President Alison Taylor. Find all of the Reporter’s story on the matter here.
