Ricky Schroder, the child star of Silver Spoons (formerly of NYPD Blue and Strong Medicine) will make his first appearance on 24 next week as a rough-and-tumble CTU agent named Mike Doyle. (He wants to be called "Ricky" again, according to a recent newspaper article.)
Of his new 24 character, Schroder said, "He's very physical and he likes to get information from people by any means necessary." Maybe, in the height of irony, we'll see Schroder's character -- a younger version of Jack Bauer -- using a silver spoon as an interrogation tool.
I'm just hopeful that the Doyle character won't be as wooden as Chase Edmunds, Jack's useless sidekick from 24's season three.

Maybe they're grooming the next "leading man." Jack just may get killed or maimed and they need a rough and tough character to continue looking out for our welfare.
I just hope he went to the "Jack Bauer School of Effective Torture."
