"I say a lot of things I shouldn't" ((Jack Baur's dad))

Activist though he may be, Cromwell isn’t above taking a part for the cash, which is how he ended up on 24, the television series with which he says he has 'real problems’. On the show, Cromwell plays Jack Bauer’s father, a corrupt industrialist who runs – gasp – a multinational corporation.

'I can’t handle living in the United States of America’ – you can tell someone’s getting soap-boxy when they call it that, and Cromwell’s indulging in a moment of heartfelt theatre now – 'when I know the last two elections were rigged, and that we were denied our right to vote, where we live in a country where 32 per cent of the people vote and even those people’s votes don’t count, and the people who should really have a stake, kids, don’t have a say at all – people of colour, very little to say, unions, practically nothing any more we’re losing our jobs ’

This is James Cromwell, Jack Bauer's "T.V." dad

How exactly is this "breaking news"?

[jveritas]

This is certainly earth shattering news, the mods should keep it as the # 1 breaking news story for many weeks to come (extreme sarcasm).

[Shimmer128]

Disgusting, lying old jackass. And this isn't breaking news. Or is this 1984 here on FR??

[calex59]

Well, he seems well cast on 24 then, he is an asshat in real life and he plays one on 24. Big deal, why is this news?

Oh sweet irony!

Is that Stretch Cunningham? Maybe not, but it looks like him.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It sounds like James Cromwell is as loony as the character he played in 'Six Feet Under.'

Life imitates art.

[ozzymandus]

Stretch is a commie jerk. Jack shoulda' killed him.

[Lx]

Didn't he invent warp drive?

[LIConFem]

Not Stretch Cunningham, silly!! That's Zephram Cochran!!

[Beckwith]

Freakin' idiot!

[Twinkie]

Stretch Cunningham on "All in the Family"?

Also, Miss Liza Jane's ex-boyfriend on "Little House on the Prairie", wasn't he, or am I thinking of another actor?

He seems so sadly delusional. He should move to Iran where things are better.

[RockinRight]

What an asshat. If he hates it so much here why live here and make money off us?

[ishabibble]

>>>you can tell someone’s getting soap-boxy when they call it that<<<
In reference to the United States of America.

I can tell when someone's getting Commie-moonbatty when they say, "people of colour".

A janitor in the London Tube could make the front page of this rag if he said he hated the U.S.

Hollywood Actor Declares He's A Liberal!

Vey series. ;-)

[Liberty Valance]

"...why live here and make money off us?

To pay for his carbon credits.

I thought it was news/current events, this post is just above one about space aliens boycotting modified crop fields and the umpteenth posting about the sorority getting kicked out because the girls aren't attractive.

Many 24 news stories get posted on the news thread, this story is new, about a very hot conservative TV show.

I'll admit I don't know much about posting, but I don't understand why space aliens boycotting genetically modified crop fields did not draw comments.

Stretch is a commie jerk. Jack shoulda' killed him.

Stay tuned :)
