To reflect the shows new setting, billboards across America are proclaiming: New York Gets Jacked.
I dont know what that means, but I like it.
(Check out Ken Tuckers take on the new seasonhere.)
The Season 8 premiere kicks off tonight.
What Ive been saying to everybody is that if the audience shows up, thats a very good possibility.
Because people Kiefer and Howard [Gordon] want to do it again.
Which is good for our fans.
But our fans have to realize that waiting for the DVD is not gonna help us.
We gotta mobilize and watch the show.
Freddie Prinze Jr. on Coles relationship with Jack Bauer:Its not at the mentor stage.
The stakes are a little bit too big for lessons to be learned.
But they have a lot of similarities.
Cole holds the position that Jack had in Season 1, as the head of Field Operations for CTU.
Jack lives in the gray area.
Cole is very black and white.
Hes not willing to sacrifice humanity or morality to get the job done.
He knows thats wrong.
His foundation sort of gets shattered throughout the season.
As it comes to light, it affects his relationship with her, but also with Jack.
Its one of those things that challenge his suit of armor.
If Dana was a Barbie, she would be Career Barbie.
Cole would be Captain America Ken.
Sackhoffon shooting24compared withBattlestar Galactica:The pace ofBattlestarwas slower.
It took longer to do everything, and we worked these hours that were just absolutely insane.
With24, this is their eighth year, theyve got this down to a complete vibe.
You work one day a week, they get ya in, they get ya out.
You kind of feel unemployed.
At home, youre like, Do I have a job?
Occasionally I find myself calling my agents, going I need a job.
Oh, thats right, I have one.
Shes been at home with her child.
So when I start, Im totally behind.
And that lady [points to Sackhoff] tries to comfort me…Shes trouble.
She tries to be so nice and tell me its gonna be okay.
I just get angry.
But I catch up, and I get my two cents in there.
Nobody listens to me, and I take matters into my own hands.
Hes a bit of a bulldog.
He wont take no.
Hes charismatic, but still hes very human.
Sometimes you feel: hes a good man, will he succeed?
Sometimes you feel: hes very weak, how did he ever become a president?
He looks like such a weak man.
The strongest and the most powerful people also sometimes look the weakest.
Thats what makes them more exciting for actors to perform..I made my own backstory.
He started from a very ordinary family.
He got the confidence of the people of the country, and became president.
I imagined all that going into the character.
Then I read a lot of books.
And not in a good way.
She saw a lot last year and was very affected by what happened.
He thinks Chloe is completely useless.
And thats whats so much fun about this show.
My characters very much alive, but were starting episode 19 when we get home.
