Where are they now? 24 cast and crew new projects

October 20, 2010 · 9 comments

Now that the new TV season has started I thought it would be interesting to take a look at where the 24 crew went after the series ended a few months ago.

Chip Johannessen became showrunner of Showtime’s hit series Dexter last December, and brought along some 24 crew with him including Manny Coto (writer and executive producer), director Milan Cheylov, costume designer Jim Lapidus, and the Emmy-winning David Latham (editor). One of his first orders of business was creating a new recurring character named FBI Agent Walker – nice! Also look out for Peter Weller (Christopher Henderson from Season 5) to show up soon as a recurring character.
