JANEANE GAROFALO is jumping from the animated big-screen success of 'Ratatouille' to the small-screen action on "24."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, she will play a government agent who teams up with series star KIEFER SUTHERLAND in the upcoming season.
Although best known as a comedic actress, she has taken dramatic turns on "The West Wing" and in the mystery-thriller 'Stay' with NAOMI WATTS.
Janeane is the second major cast addition to "24"'s seventh season. CHERRY JONES -- who has also appeared on "West Wing" -- was cast to play the new president last month.
Production starts on the new season in September.
Aw, geez, I just got hooked on the show now they go and do something like this?!
24 ping
24 is DOOOMED!
For some reason I like Jeaneane. She appeals to me in a way that Ann Coulter likes the Grateful Dead. She’s got that librarian thing going for her, I don’t know.
Well, recently “24”’s crew announced their productions this season would
be “carbon neutral”.
Now, hiring Garafalo?
Unless they convince the “24” audience that those were just articles
in The Onion...those ratings might suffer.
The shark is jumped, I probably won’t watch.
I’m sure this is just a misprint and instead of “24” they really meant “The View”.
It’s a fun series, but totally unbelievable.
“The shark is jumped...”
Looks like the “24” folks are trying to go for a record: going into
orbit while jumping the shark.
If “24” is this intent on ratings suicide, it might be interesting
to watch as their ratings fried to a crisp during “re-entry”.
Maybe janeane ought to do something bold and surprising and play a conservative. (Gasp!) And not in a bad way the way we usually are portrayed. It would show she has a real range of talent to play something she is not in real life.
Yeah, I like her too. 24 will have only jumped the shark if she brings that bowling-ball of hers.
On the bright side, 24 is known for killing off cast members.... ;^)
Yeah, Janeane’s the mousy girl next door who learned great stuff at band camp...
Janeane is right up their with Randi Rhodes with her hate for America, it's military and traditional American values.
The Blue Raja: Sorry, but am I to understand you've inserted your father's skull inside of that ball for bowling?
The Bowler (Garafalo): No, the guy at the pro shop did it.
Kiefer Sutherland is no conservative. His grandfather was a founding member of the NDP in Canada.
(I actually like that movie.)
