Here’s a little promo that actors Johnny Wu and Domenick Lombardozzi (The Wire‘s “Herc”) filmed in front of Dom’s house at Norwood, New York. Both actors play NYPD officers in the upcoming 24 Season 8 premiere.
Johnny Wu posted on his blog that he booked a guest star role on 24 Season 8 (his first TV role) and began filming on June 19th:
I booked a great guest star role on FOX’s 8th season of “24″ as an NYPD rookie cop. Can’t give anymore away right now but the season airs in January 2010. I’ll give you guys a specific air date closer to the end of the year. Shout to my new representation team…James Suskin and everyone at TalentWorks for a great beginning. Shooting starts June 19th. Excited to act with Kiefer Sutherland. Y’all remember him from A Time to Kill? If not, check him out. Wasn’t such a good guy in that one. Worth the time. First TV credit…Playing New York cop. Reppin NYC hard on this one baby. Holla at me East Coast!
Although director Jon Cassar will not be involved with 24 Season 8, he’s got the inside scoop on the directors of the four-hour premiere.
24 Season 8 – starts to shoot today without me – the first time I’m not directing on the first day since season 1. Have a good one 24 crew.
Brad Turner is directing the first two episodes of 24 then Milan Cheylov will direct the next two. In very experienced hands.
Turner has been with the series since the third season and has directed 38 episodes total (ten in Season 7). Cheylov has directed four episodes in Season 7 and six total.
