He was an Army Ranger? Well at least he has some cred to bring to the role. Still don’t think it’ll be “24” without Jack Bauer but we’ll see if it’s good on its own merit.

Oops, just realized the character is a former Ranger. Never mind. Still hope it's good.

FYI, the actor, Corey Hawkins, was not an Army Ranger.

That's from the bio of Eric Carter, the character he's going to play in 24: Legacy.

24 wasn't just Jack Bauer. It was a serial story to hook viewers two essential elements. Outrageous soap opera plots twists for the ladies, and guns and a body count for the guys.

I knew 24 was coming to an end when I started being able to guess how Bauer would kill the next terrorist. He was strapped into a chair, after being handed over as a terrorist demand, and I turned to my wife and told her she might want to leave the room. She asked why, and I said "because Bauer is about to bite that guy's jugular." She scoffed at the idea, and about 10 seconds later I was proven correct.
