On USA's spy-action-comedy series
Burn Notice, there are great actors all around. Recently, I had the chance to spend a day on the set of
Burn Notice (more on that next week!), and share in round-table interviews with the stars of the show.
Here's one of those wonderful actors, the irreverent and brilliant Bruce Campbell. As Sam, Jeffrey's old friend -- and sometime nemesis -- from the spy wars, Campbell is having a ball filming in South Florida and stealing scenes like nobody's business. Oh, and he smells good, just like
Old Spice.
Q: What is the character of Sam about?
Bruce Campbell: He's about 50. No, he's like the other characters in the show, damaged goods, which is why I like him.

Oscar-winner
Jon Voight, father of a certain actress called Angelina Jolie, will return to the small screen this fall. The actor, who recently appeared in movies such as
National Treasure and
Transformers, was cast in an important role on FOX's hit series
24.
The 69-year-old actor may be best known for his movies but he is no stranger to TV. He appeared in a handful of made-for-TV movies, in mini-series such as the 1993
Return to Lonesome Dove in which he played lead character Capt. Woodrow F. Call, and in series like
Gunsmoke for example.

In early March, FOX announced that a
24 two-hour Season 7 prequel would air this fall. At that time, not much was known about this special event expect that the action would take place after the Season 6 finale and before the
Season 7 premiere. Eventually, we got wind that
Jack Bauer would be heading to Africa even if
the idea was scrapped in September because of production cost.
Today,
FOX confirmed that Jack Bauer would battle an international crisis in South Africa in the two-hour prequel set to air on Sunday, November 23 at 8 p.m.

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.

Now that the writers' strike is over, watercooler talks shifted from "when will the strike be over" to "what shows will come back, when, and for how many episodes." One show that fans were extremely looking forward to (mostly after seeing the video after the jump) was
24. The series, first set to return in January 2008, was
shelved by FOX so that season 7 could air uninterrupted.
When FOX made that announcement, some of us predicted that the show wouldn't return until at least mid-August. Since the network is known for starting it's fall season a bit early for certain shows (e.g.,
Prison Break), maybe the series could have aired from mid-August until the end of December with a few 2-hour long episodes. But it looks like this option won't happen. Instead, we will have to wait 11 months to see what happens next in Jack Bauer's life!

Actually it's just Kiefer Sutherland being released after serving his 48 day sentence for DUI and violating his probation from a prior DUI. Thank god production on
24 was willing to wait for him to serve his time because other-- oh wait. There is no production. At least now there won't be any issues when they do need to get back to work on saving the world.
I've got to be honest, though, I don't understand what happened. Help me out here. Isn't Kiefer Sutherland a Hollywood star? And yet he served his full 48 day sentence in prison? Why didn't they let him out after nineteen minutes? Lindsay and Paris and Nicole all got out after a few minutes, so what's the deal? Is it because he doesn't have breasts? Because that's discrimination and I won't stand for it. I demand that
all my celebrities serve only token gestures towards jail sentences for real crimes. It's not right that Kiefer had to suffer like a real person for his crimes. Where's the justice?

Kiefer Sutherland has reported early for his jail sentence, according to this Yahoo! article. He was sentenced Wednesday for his drunk driving arrest in October, his second in three years. While he could have waited until February 12th to begin his sentence, the Emmy-winning actor instead opted to begin immediately. This may be because he'd rather get it out of the way now while production is halted on 24 due to the strike. I wonder if he and the inmates will sit around and watch old episodes of 24 on prison TV. (Are they allowed to watch Prison Break in prison?)

If I ever get arrested for drunk driving (which will never happen), I would like prosecutors and defense attorneys to come to an agreement where I can split my 48 days in jail into two different blocks of time, so I can blog all day long and watch a lot of TV shows I might otherwise miss.
That's what's going to happen to 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. He's going to jail for DUI for 48 days (not the 30 we reported the other day), but those days will be split up so it doesn't interfere with the production of the FOX show. He'll serve 18 days, then go back to filming the show, then serve the remaining days after production is over (he has to complete the 48 days by July 1).

Well, it looks like celebrities don't always get off with just a slap on the wrist (wait...that sounds rather dirty, but you know what I mean).
24 star Kiefer Sutherland is actually going to jail for 30 days, as part of his plea deal regarding a DUI arrest in Los Angeles in September. He was coming home from a FOX fall season party. He's going to jail for having a blood alcohol level over the limit, but the second charge of DUI was dismissed (not sure what the difference is there).

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!

Cynthia Turner's Cynopsis reveals that FOX's hit series
24 has just recruited two actors to join the cast in the upcoming season of the series.
Enterprise's John Billingsley is set to join in a recurring capacity.
TV Guide mentions that his role is that of "Latham." The two sources do not have more details about this role right now. TV fans may remember Billingsley from his portrayal of Egan Foote on ABC's short-lived
The Nine. This past year, he also guest starred in various TV series such as
NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, and
Standoff.

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.

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that the production of Season 7 of FOX's hit show
24 will be delayed. The reason: Fox asked for a complete rewrite of the storyline writers came with for the upcoming season.
The trashed plot was not revolving around
Quebec separatists, as a rumor back in mid-April revealed. Instead, the show was set to partially take place in Africa. However, that turned out to be too expensive which is why FOX asked for a new storyline.

(S18E21) I suppose that in many respects this episode should have been the 400th one. It was fast-paced, exciting and hysterical. However, it will go down in history as merely episode 399. I'll talk more about that in my review of episode 400.
Seriously, though, how cool was this episode? I knew it was going to be a parody of 24, but I assumed the episode would contain a few clever references, a cameo by Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajkskub, and that's it. But no, the whole damn episode, from the opening title sequence to the end credits was inspired by the look and feel of 24. I don't want to see the Simpsons do this sort of thing all the time, but an occasional drift into parody such as this or the "Behind the Laughter" episode can be quite entertaining.

She plays a computer specialist and sometime-action hero on one of the most successful television shows of all time. She occasionally acts in off-beat films like Punch Drunk Love and Little Miss Sunshine and in indie movies like Gregg Araki's Mysterious Skin, a 2004 film so dark it barely graced theater marquees before heading to DVD and quasi-cult status. She counts stand-up comedy among her creative outlets. And Mary Lynn Rajskub, a.k.a Chloe on FOX's 24, says she is equally at home in any and all of those seemingly incompatible worlds.
