24 star Kiefer Sutherland says the new season, premiering in January 2010, is "the most realistic storyline I think we've done since season one. It centers around peace conferences taking place at the UN between the president of Iran and the President of the United States, which I believe is possible within the next few
years. Obviously there will be a lot of people who will want to fight that. This is about fighting off that threat to peace."
With four new episodes already in the can, I asked Kiefer's co-stars to clue me in on one special scene they've already shot.
MARY LYNN RAJSKUB (CHLOE O'BRIAN)
"Chloe is not up to speed in the new CTU, which is very different for her. Katee Sackhoff plays my new boss (Dana Walsh), and she kind of pats me on the shoulder and says, 'Don't worry—you'll catch up,' which is the worst moment for Chloe ever. Everything's changed at CTU and my bosses are looking at me like I'm not doing it right. But then something happens in the story where I think I know some information which pits me at odds with my bosses." Mary Lynn adds that the new New York City-based CTU looks "kind of like
a spaceship. It's sleek with a lot of glass, and underground with a tunnel you drive through to get into it. I feel kind of like Batgirl. And our computers are under glass and there's a huge screen with all the information on it that everyone can access."
FREDDIE PRINZE JR. (new CTU agent COLE ORTIZ)
"There's a moment between my character, who runs field ops, and Katee's character, Dana Walsh, who runs the tech side of things. They're engaged and it's difficult having a relationship at work when the stakes are so high. They're having some problems that I really can't get into. You see that somebody's holding things
back—maybe she has a secret which he has to concern himself with. He's a Marine and he bases
everything on having a plan with a coordinated attack. There's an interesting dynamic on how he's going to deal with her."
ANIL KAPOOR (Foreign Leader OMAR HASSAN)
"I have one scene in a car with my bodyguard, Tarin. Suddenly I'm sending messages to my country to say people (behind an assassination attempt on his character's life) have to be taken to task and arrested. I can sense that the bodyguard is uncomfortable and the way that the scene progresses is very dramatic. I speak about the peace process, my younger brother Akbar and my family. It's a catharsis for my character." By the way, Omar's loved ones include a daughter, a wife—and a girlfriend!
