Eric Lively, Tony Todd and Gil Bellows join Kiefer Sutherland and the gang
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eric Lively, Tony Todd and Gil Bellows will appear in the two-hour special, scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 23 as a bridge between the sixth and seventh seasons of the Emmy-winning drama.
When the prequel special begins, Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer is in South Africa handling an international crisis. Back at home, the newly elected president (series newcomer Cherry Jones) is preparing for her inauguration day. Part of the prequel is being shot in South Africa and Sutherland told advertisers at the FOX upfront that the story would, indeed, be in real time.
The trade paper says that Lively ("The L Word"), brother of "Gossip Girl" star Blake, will play the president's son, while Bellows will play a State Department officer with a subpoena to serve to Bauer. Todd is set as Gen. Juma, a cruel African dictator.
Robert Carlyle was previously cast in the prequel.
Bellows' credits include "Ally McBeal" and "The Agency," while Todd, always and forever the star of the "Candyman" franchise, has most recently been recurring on "Chuck."
