Learn Which SCOOBY Star Plays The Newest CTU Agent On 24!!
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.

This show is so tired.
-
Of course, we knew that from the way the story is going. I just wanted to remark about her fantastic boobs.
-
I will count down the hours till his death.
-
Love me some 24. Hate me some Kim Bauer. If her and Prinze end up together, which of course they will, is Jack going to have to take a leg this time? Fuckin' amateurs.
-
Actually I would've preferred Matthew Lillard as opposed to Freddie Prinze.
-
forgot about white house politics and terrorists and bring on the biggest baddest evil of them all. RICHARD SIMMONS. After a tainted diet shake hits the market Jack goes undercover at a chain of weight lost centers backed by the cabal that killed david palmer which is headed by Simmmons. Pure Entertainment
-
That would be cool.
-
SWEEEEET! Freddy Prinze Jr, not so sweet. Prinze can't be as bad as nurse Paul Flowers was could he?
-
Will see how well Prince does in this role. I will with hold judgement till I see him in action
-
In better news, the Battlestar box set looks awesome.
-
he was a writer for WWE. Not anymore I guess?
-
SHOWKILLERS!
-
Y'know the writing staff is fucking terrible when Freddie Prinze Jr. complains about it.
-
I dug Hawaii. That show should've been about him and that hot Sumika chick that's on Numbers now.
-
He was in S1 and then came back in S6. 24 survived. Anyway, Mr. Prinze? Well its unusual casting, but it'll be interesting to see what he'll do. Ricky Schroder was pretty good.
-
There's that legal matter, and they reset the timeline, if they do something stupid and fire him like they did the tailies, please, please, PLEASE let him make his way back to 24.
-
It was the writers who stupidly killed off Tony, only to bring back Milo as a Almeida carbon copy the next year. If anything, Balfour was fucked over in that move. Silver Spoons though, he tried his best to kill the show though. Horrible actor.
-
Prepare for the show to jump the shark, shit the bed, fuck the retard.
-
Surely they wouldn't bring it back without Jack.
-
Like maybe a dead guy or a one-armed mannequin?
-
I would have been so happy if it had been Nicholas Brendon. We haven't really seen him do anything since... well, Buffy.
But SMG's hubby?! I actually don't have anything against Freddie Prinze. He's a pretty good actor and I like the movie where he slept with Tori Spelling.
But to pass him off as a Buffy cast member? Oh, yeah. Scooby Doo. Fuck you. Eat my poo. I'm a poet and sure don't show it. -
Seems like its the last chance for them to get Donald Sutherland to play a role. It would be so great to see him on this show with Keifer. He should have been the one cast as Jack's dad in season 6 instead of James Cromwell (not that Cromwell did badly...), but I remember right before season 6 started, Larry King interviewed the cast and asked about them getting Donald on there, and Keifer said they wanted to but the timing was never right. Uh.... its not like Donald Sutherland is doing a bunch of movies right now. Is his health poor? I want to see him on 24 as a cool villain in the vein of what James Cromwell, Dennis Hopper, and Jon Voight did.
-
Yeah, the headline almost had me hoping HE was going to be on 24. He'd be a great computer geek working in CTU. Last thing I saw him in was an episode of Without a Trace, where ironically he was playing a computer geek working for that team. But man, he's really put on some weight since Buffy ended.
-
I just hope the terrorists kill him quickly. Or Jack cuts his hands off...
-
wil wheaton as ctu geek. alexis denisoff? freddie prinze may well surprise, not the guy i'd immediately think of in ctu, but i guess we'll all wait and see.
-
in that mix as well. 24 has had a lot of actors over the years from sci-fi genre shows
-
Doing that Law and Order: London I think...
-
Nice "Stand by Me" reunion there, especially if Keifer shoots him. Revenge at last! :)
-
Looking at his IMDB profile, he's barely done anything since Angel. Three eps of "How I met Your Mother" (just because his wife is on the show), and an ep of Private Practice. Jeez... is he a lepur in Hollywood? Why can't he get more work? He was one of the best characters on Angel.
-
She will kick some Cougar asses
-
I thought he meant one of the Buffy Scoobies.
-
Ok it's a little sad how many of us thought Herc was talkin' about Buffy with this headline. I also was hopin' it was Nicholas Brendan .. Ah well, some day maybe.
-
Sweet merciful shit will someone feed that skank? Every time I saw her I wanted to send money to starving African kids.
-
I just Crapped and rolled in it why not just let jack die and let the show end why why. this is a sad day for 24 fans
Freckles Bauer Why Why -
And why are all blacks on tv baddies or gay all of a sudden ? Really pisses the mrs off
-
Her mentally deranged eyes scare the fuck out of me every time she's on screen.
-
Seriously, I have not taken 24 seriously since they introduced Chase as a major character and just did a For Your Eyes Only-style "Meh" and never referred to him again.
-
...the rumor was, he was a bit "difficult" to work with.
-
Did he headbutt a designer? Has he gotten multiple DUI's?
I'm sorry, but when Kiefer Sutherland is your leading man, you have probably grown a thick skin. -
...was because they wanted an extreme liberal version of Chloe who would constantly be complaining about the Bill of Rights when they use the CTU systems to track down terrorists or when they use torture methods against captives. Who better than Garafolo. She did the same schtick on Air America, constantly complaining about the right wing Republican kind of activities that 24 glorifies. Perfect casting, in my opinion.
-
I went back and read through the TB. The fact that you brought up Theo Stoller gives you instantly major major points.
-
Ronny Cox definitely needs to be in this show, playing the same kind of evil bastard he played in Robocop and Total Recall.
-
One of the popular main characters gets killed off every season for shock value. Bill was it for season 7. That means it'll either be Chloe or Aaron next season. Or I guess Tony too, but he doesn't really count now that he's "evil"... and he already died once, so the shock value is gone. So Chloe could be a goner next season.
-
Not Son-of-Chico! It should have been Linda Cardellini instead. Or Denishof, who could play an MI6 counterpart or something. Cox would be good for either a good or bad guy role.
-
will make it a worthy season for Jack Bauer to die in.
-
Prinze doesn't have the acting chops and is too pretty to be on this show!
-
Good Lord, Season 6 sucked. Has that ever been mentioned before?
-
Just got done watching season 7 and the show is still going strong. I hope Garafalo comes back somehow.
-
Im a massive 24 fan, as big as they come, but this news really puts me off what may be the final season.
Can you imagine Jack dying and being replaced by this talentless happy faced shit stain???!!1 -
jack's new bff?
-
That will make up for this misstep.
-
Fuck you, Siffy!

-
Let's face it, no one is casting FP Jr in 24 if they aren't going to put a bullet in his ass. I hope Jack Bauer bites him in the throat to death... wait, they did that? Okay, I hope he rips his eyeballs out with his bear hands and uses them on a retinal scanner.
-
within 3 eps...
-
He could terrorize people with his long distance dedications.
-
did i really type bear hands instead of bare hands? (slinks away)
-
On air on Sunday.... Dead by Monday....
-
Owns this tired, vapid cack. And still no talkback for the most amoral, exciting show on air.
-
but I guess Mr. Gellar needs to work too.
-
instead? Donny Crane!Balfour is not a show killer unless he is a member of the main cast. Otherwise he is a bit of a good-luck charm:First few episodes of Buffy = 7 seasonsFirst season of Six Feet Under = 5 seasonsFirst season of 24 = going on 8 seasonsHawaii = 8 episodesConviction = 13 episodes
-
Perfect!
-
...on 24 with his fucking bad-ass mo-hawk from SLC Punk, screaming into the camera and fucking up jocks while knocking down some out of state beers.
-
Seriously, he is the antitheisis of charisma. His acting is wooden and lifeless. A great torture technique for next season's 24 would be to force a terrorist to watch Freddie Prinze's sitcom from a few years back, that is worse than waterboarding could ever be.
-
Is that Corey Feldman???
-
Tamblyn shined, this series deserved as much of a chance as Southland is getting.

If someone converts to Islam, they are against torture? What do you call beheading someone with a long knife, acupuncture?

Now, given the history of people who "want to be like Jack"
by moviemaniac-7
He won't last long until he's either scarred for life or ends up in the grave. Probably by Jack B.

There's only one acceptable act of terrorism
by the_man_behind_the_curtain
..and that's an act of terrorism against Freddie Prinze Junior. I hope he gets tortured near the start of the season. Or blown the fuck up.I hate that prick.
-
Better choice. Lillard might have been o.k.
-
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good comedic actor. I thought his sitcom was pretty good, but his drama work is really bad. I refer to "I know what you did last summer" and it's sequel, "I know it's supposed to be called I know what you did that summer before last but my grammer sucks so I'll callit I STILL know what you did last summer."
-
Sorry . I am in love with her. They didn't mention she would be back next season did they?
-
..they put Gerafalo on it. never tolerate her under any circumstance. They should bring Chase back with a removable super-spy gadget hand and kick ass.
-
Alyson Hannigan would never let her hubby Alexis Denisof do 24. Or any role. Marring Hannigan ruined Denisof's acting career. Poor henpecked bastard is stuck at home changing diapers.
-
I'd call that "execution". Torture is mainly used to extract information; once the person is beheaded, it's difficult to get answers (unless you are Walter Bishop). On the other hand, threatening to behead someone is a form of torture.
-
She's reminds me of Mrs. Claus from the old Rankin-Bass Rudolph special.
-
My wife's been singing that tune from day one, I bailed but she rails about the Prez giving in to terrorists again, and again. But, what'ya expect she's a woman and is soft and giving in the middle while men are intolerant constantly trying to impale things on their dicks. It's a simplistic breakdown, but I'm pressed for time.
-
he'll die of a self inflicted gunshot wound....too soon?
-
better be some cheesy 80s cop movie line like, "Damn, I need a vacation."
-
Bring him back, and bring him back eviler and crazier. Carlos Bernard needs work!
-
They already have a jack bauer replacement. Rack bauer. Wasn't her arc in day 7 pretty much turning her into a female jack? So why can't she be leading the ops team. She goes from the law abiding f.b.I. to the do anything to get the job done style of c.t.u. makes sense to me
-
Josh Hopkins - global frequency. he'd be good as a ctu agent.
-
Of the 4 she was by far the best actor and the easiest on the eyes. I think she would have been fun to watch.
-
Miguel Ferrer and Nancy Allen.
-
"I fuckin' LOVE that guy!"
-
At least its not Mathew Lillard.
god i was so afraid when i clicked the link that is who you were going to say. Hoped it was SMG but knew that was not likely. -
He is hosting Dancing with the stars next season.
atleast thats what was written on briefly on EW.com before being taken down -
SHIT, ARSE, BALLS, FUCK, TITS, RAGE, GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL, WANK, REMTARD. Okay Im done.
-
"DAMNIT SCOOB!!!"
-
He should. He hasn't been employed with CTU since season 3. It's getting stupid having him somehow coincidentally involved.
-
At the time Season 6 filmed Donald was making that shitfest "Fool'sGold" and wasn't avaiable. Although he did later say he's not sure he would have taken it given Jack's dad tried to kill his own son.
-
I hated her throughout. She was the worst president in 7 seasons. Rene Walker was good, her tits especially. Glad to see her return. Hopefully Kim will be back as a boobalicious CTU analyst. Maybe she can use a plastic phallus and put a smile on Chloe's face?? That would be one way to get the ratings up.
-
If I were in charge of things: one central threat that is not a massive global killer. One layer of villain(s). No CTU. Jack has to basically work alone with all the tech.
-
Of this guy hero worshipping and emulating Bauer and ultimately finding himself as the victim of one of Jack's 'hard choices'. Remember when Jack had to execute his boss in season 2? yeah, something like that would be suitable.
-
As Chloe's chesty, bespectacled and bi-curious protogé who happens to catch the eye of a still-mourning Freckles Bauer.
-
Why didn't Ricky Schroeder come back though? Oh well. The only Bauer sidekick they managed to carry over into another season was Curtis, and he was killed by Jack. Blah.
-
His character that is, in season 6. Hard to be a field op with no vision.
-
He constantly quoted "Rounders" and was an overall douche. And he sucks at poker. Fuck him.
-
Who thought "one of the Scooby's" referred to a Buffy castmember?
-
sigh
