Fox has announced that, come January, when “24” returns for its sixth season, the cast will include several new faces…but just because they’re new doesn’t mean they’ll be unfamiliar.
First off, we’ll meet Jack Bauer’s dad…but instead of going with the obvious choice – Donald Sutherland, duh – they’ve cast Oscar- and Emmy-nominated actor James Cromwell (“Babe,” “Six Feet Under”). We’ll also be seeing British actor / comedian Eddie Izzard as the villainous Darren McCarthy, as well as Kal Penn (KUMAR, baby!) and Alexander Siddig (“Syriana”…though he’ll always be Dr. Bashir from “Deep Space Nine” to me).
Damn. I don’t even watch the show, and I’m half-tempted to tune in, anyway.
