Before the new TV season starts I plan to write a post detailing where all the 24 cast and crew have wound up and which projects they are attached to. For now, word comes that Greg Itzin has joined HBO’s Big Love series in a major role:
With casting coups like this, Big Love is well on its way to making up for a lackluster season 4: Legendary (and twice Emmy-nominated) 24 villain Gregory Itzin has signed up for a major recurring gig on season 5 of HBO’s Big Love, sources confirm to me exclusively.
Itzin will play Senator Richard Dwyer, the Republican Majority Leader of the Utah State Senate — of which Bill (Bill Paxton) is now a member.
Production on Big Love‘s fifth season is scheduled to get underway this week.
Itzin will also be guest-starring on USA Network’s Covert Affairs.
24 has received five Emmy nominations for its final season, bringing it’s total nominations to 68 across the entire series run. Unfortunately no nominations were given to Kiefer Sutherland or Annie Wersching (both gave incredible performances), nor was 24 nominated for best drama.
The first couple of minutes are about his new Broadway show “Enron” but the 24 stuff starts at the 3:40 mark. No real spoilers or anything, but it’s always interesting to watch Itzin.

Excellent interview with Gregory Itzin (Charles Logan) from the 24 UK Podcast – great work guys. I’m so excited for Itzin’s return in episode 17, he’s simply a fantastic actor. I remember doing a poll last summer after Comic-Con asking what character should return and the overwhelming response was in favor of Charles Logan. I’d [...]
But no one on “24″ can overshadow Charles Logan, the former chief executive who commanded the fifth season as scoundrel, boob and treasonous schemer. Deliciously played by Gregory Itzin, President Logan stayed busy at his waffling, cover-ups, secret deals with terrorists, even an implicit role in Palmer’s assassination — all of it done (as Logan [...]
“24″ is resetting its clock again for Gregory Itzin. Having returned once before as seemingly weak-willed but actually scheming — and ultimately born-again — former President Charles Logan on the Fox suspense series, the veteran stage and screen actor rejoins the show Monday, April 12. “It did rather take me by surprise,” Itzin admits of [...]
Gregory Itzin is returning to “24″ again, but he knows it could be his final round as ex-President Charles Logan. The scheming former chief executive shows more spine as Itzin begins another stint Monday, Apr. 12, on the FOX suspense series — which is awash in speculation about cancelation as its clock keeps ticking toward [...]
William Keck from TV Guide Magazine has the scoop on former President Charles Logan’s return to 24 and it sounds like it’ll be great (be warned, the last paragraph has a pretty big spoiler): Madame President, meet your disgraced White House predecessor. Released from house arrest after being pardoned for his hand in the assassination [...]
Very interesting stuff in this report, including quotes from 24 showrunner Howard Gordon and Gregory Itzin. Howard mentions a pretty specific timetable they’re aiming to finish the feature film by – 12 to 18 months. The news that Fox’s 24 will most likely conclude at the end of this eighth season comes as no shock [...]
GREGORY ITZIN RETURNS AS FAN-FAVORITE VILLAIN CHARLES LOGAN IN SEASON EIGHT OF “24” Emmy Award Nominee Joins Season Eight In Multiple-Episode Arc Series Returns with Two-Night, Four-Hour Premiere Event Beginning Sunday, January 17, on FOX Share
David Fury said in an interview at Comic-Con 2009 in July that Logan was among the characters that could return, and Howard Gordon echoed that statement a few days later simply saying “He’s out there somewhere.” Well now we know exactly where Logan is, and he’ll be returning for a multiple-episode arc in season 8! [...]

Perhaps best known as the submarine commander of 1981′s Das Boot, Prochnow’s ruthless character will head up an Eastern European organized crime syndicate that becomes part of the action. “He’s essentially a Godfather,” says [...]
Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly flatly denied a return of the Emmy-nominated Gregory Itzin (Charles Logan) for 24 Season 8. Question: Is it true that Gregory Itzin will be back on 24 next season? –Arleen Ausiello: That’s false. Ausiello said the same thing just before the start of the seventh season which turned out to [...]
