Cast temporada ocho - Freddie Prinze Jr/Nazneen Contractor

Y esta selección es sorpresa. Se lo buscaron bonitico.

Freddie Prinze Jr., que hace rato largo no hace nada interesante por ahí (de hecho lo último que recuerdo de él es el papel de Nanny en Friends: The one with the male Nanny) es la nueva adquisición del cast de 24 la temporada que viene.

Adicionalmente anunciaron también a Nazneen Contractor (The Border) como parte del cast.

Los relatos de qué harán.....luego del corte.



De acuerdo a Tv Guide, Freddie Prinze Jr. será Davis Cole, agente de CTU venido de la Marina norteamericana, que dirige Operaciones de campo en la nueva CTU y es gran admirador de la labor de Jack Bauer. Este....sí. El tipo cree que será el próximo Jack Bauer.

Mejor me reservo los comentarios. Por si acaso. Estamos lejos de enero todavía.

Nazneen Contractor, por su parte, será la hija del personaje de Anil Kapoor.

Se está poniendo divertido ésto. Digo yo!

La nota de Tv Guide, que se basó en The Hollywood Reporter, a continuación:

**************************************

Jack Bauer? He's all that in the eyes of a new CTU agent to be played by Freddie Prinze Jr., the latest actor to sign on for 24's eighth season.

A star of such films as She's All That and two Scooby-Doos — where he played opposite lady love Sarah Michelle Gellar — and the short-lived sitcom Freddie, Prinze Jr. joins the Fox drama as Davis Cole, a Marine who now heads up the resurrected CTU's Field Ops division. In that role, Cole fancies himself the new Jack Bauer, says the Hollywood Reporter.

24 has trod this path before, introducing a strapping field agent (James Badge Dale's Chase Edmunds, Ricky Schroder's Mike Doyle) who ostensibly might one day relieve weary Jack and inherit the "Drop it!" mantle. Chase, though, dropped off the radar after losing his hand (and girlfriend Kim), while Mike had a bomb go off in his face (a manuever to one day be known as The Juliet).

Also joining 24 is Mumbai-born beauty Nazneen Contractor (CBC's The Border), playing the daughter of Anil Kapoor's Middle Eastern leader. Counting down to her untimely kidnapping in five... four... three... .

Earlier this week, Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) and Chris Diamantopoulos (The Starter Wife) were added to the 24 cast.

Season 8 of 24, to be set in New York City, premieres Jan. 17, 2010.
