Freddie Prinze, Jr. is
joining
the cast of 24 next season.
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.
On the real-time drama, whose upcoming eighth season started production Wednesday, Prinze joins fellow new cast additions Anil Kapoor, who plays a Middle East leader; Chris Diamantopoulos, as the president's new chief of staff; and John Boyd as a CTU systems analyst. All of them are regulars, while Jennifer Westfeldt has come aboard as a recurring, playing a a journalist.
We think Freddie will do a great job. We liked his short-lived sitcom, Freddie, in which he starred as a chef with Brian Austin Green as his best friend. Freddie is expecting his first child with wife Sarah Michelle Gellar. You just know the baby will be adorable.
