Quote :: 24 Brings Back Gregory Itzin; Other Season 8 Details

It looks like former President Charles Logan has recovered from being stabbed.
FOX says Gregory Itzin will reprise his role as the oily ex-commander in chief on 24
this season. The current president (Cherry Jones) will reluctantly ask
for help from Logan — last seen taking a knife from his wife in season
six — with the latest international crisis that drives the season.

“The opportunity for these two remarkable actors to share the stage
was simply too compelling to pass up,” executive producer Howard Gordon
says.

The network has also offered up the broad outlines of what’s going
to happen in the new season, which is scheduled to begin Sunday, Jan.
17 and move to its regular Monday-night home the following night. The
action will be driven by a plot to assassinate a Middle Eastern leader
(Anil Kapoor, Slumdog Millionaire) who’s speaking at the United
Nations, and retired grandfather Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is
drawn back into the reconstituted CTU, because that’s what he does.

Annie Wersching and Mary Lynn Rajskub will return as Renee Walker
and Chloe O’Brian; Katee Sackhoff, Mykelti Williamson and Freddie
Prinze Jr. will also play CTU agents. In addition to Itzin, Stephen
Root and David Anders will have guest arcs this season.
