You know, I thought we didn't have Charles Logan to kick around anymore. You know, the Nixonian disgraced President from
24? Well, I was wrong.
24 has cast Gregory Itzin to reprise Charles Logan in the upcoming new season.
Itzin -- who's currently been a semi-regular on
The Mentalist -- was Emmy-nominated for President Logan, and he really gave it all the shadings and complexities of a dark, corrupt politician. He was a guy you loved to hate, but he had a soft spot and that was his love for his wife. His unbalanced spouse, Martha. When last seen on the show, Martha had stabbed Charles.

Even if season 7 of
24 won't air for
another 9 months, it doesn't mean we can't get our hopes up when the first official cast picture leaks on the web. Mind you, it may have been out for weeks but today was the first time I saw it thanks to a tip who sent us to
SlashFlim.com.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who had never seen this cast picture before which is why I decided to share it with you all and take this opportunity to review what we know, including spoilers, about the seventh season of the FOX drama, including that
two-hour prequel that will air this fall.

Fans of
24 will have to wait until January 2009 for the seventh season to commence, but in a move that's likely to be met with cheers all around, Fox has announced that the producers of the Keifer Sutherland action drama are creating
a 24 two-hour TV movie which will be a prequel to the next new season. The story will cover the two years between the end of season six and the beginning of season seven. The actors are being cast now, presumably the essential members of the team who survived the previous 24-hours of a nuclear disaster, terrorism, lies, betrayals, shootings and tragedies.

In mid-April, we reported that the
'24' producers were studying potential story lines for the seventh season of the FOX hit series, one featuring Quebec's separatists. About two weeks later,
it was confirmed that Jack would go through his next action-packed awful day in a different scenery. In early July, we learned that writers had planned to have
the action set in Africa and the U.S. but that the network sent them back to the drawing board because that story line would be too expensive. Eventually, official spoilers started to leak and FOX announced the names of actors joining the show (more after the jump).
But yesterday, FOX sent out
a press release so juicy that it had some people pinch themselves to make sure they weren't dreaming!

About a month ago,
it was announced that the next season of
24 would feature a female president played by actress Cherry Jones. Thanks to
Cynthia Turner's Cynopsis, we can now reveal who will play the First Husband. Actor
Colm Feore has been cast in the role of the President's husband.
Movie fans may remember him for his roles in
The Chronicles of Riddick,
Paycheck, and
Pearl Harbor, just to name three. He also guest starred in U.S. TV series such as
Battlestar Galactica, Boston Public, and
The West Wing.

The rumors are true:
24 has
gone with a woman to be the President of the United States for its upcoming season.
The show has tapped Cherry Jones for the part. She is a veteran actress who you might remember as Matt Damon's mom in
Ocean's Twelve. She's made several appearances on Broadway in plays such as
Doubt,
Imaginary Friends and
A Moon For The Misbegotten.
This is a very cool choice. Not just to actually go ahead and make the role female but to cast Jones. She's a good actress, and has that been-there, commanding air that the role demands.
