Jean Smart

One year ago today, the 24 series finale aired on FOX. Rather than writing a long post praising the show, I assume everyone here is already aware of the awesomeness that is 24. So instead, I’ll post some videos for you to watch including this great documentary that you most likely haven’t seen before:

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. Fans that have watched the DVD bonus features probably know that the cast and crew were very close to each other, and that’s proven by this list – many of them chose to work together on future projects.

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.

Nominated for an Emmy as mentally unstable First Lady Martha Logan in ’24,’ Jean Smart says she wanted to return to the hit Fox show — but it’s now too late.

“Well, it’s done now, I think,” Smart told Moviefone at Wednesday’s premiere of ‘Youth in Revolt’ in Hollywood, of the possibility of returning to ’24.’

“I would have loved to have gone back again,” Smart said. “But I don’t know. I think Martha is in a rubber room somewhere. They kind of inferred that she offed herself. I think she did.”

I believe that Smart is referring to a conversation between Olivia Taylor and Aaron Pierce in episode 7×13: Olivia says “It must’ve been hard for you, what happened to her” to which Aaron replies that he’d rather not talk about it.

I don’t think the writers told Jean Smart any specific information, she is probably just speculating about her characters fate like the rest of us. I loved the Martha Logan character, so I hope she isn’t dead!

LOS ANGELES — At a 24 party, the dead are among the living.
At Monday’s launch of the Fox thriller’s Season 5 DVD (Fox Home Entertainment, $59.98), held at Hollywood nightspot Les Deux, more than a few of the actors present represented characters who have succumbed during the five-year run of the high-octane, high-casualty series.

Fifth-season goners Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeida), John Allen Nelson (Walt Cummings) and Julian Sands (villainous Vladimir Bierko) attended, as did Penny Johnson Jerald, whose Sherry Palmer fell in Season 3.

The party, which also promoted the new book 24: Behind the Scenes (Insight Editions, $29.95), also featured many of 24‘s living, including Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brian), Kim Raver (Audrey Raines), Roger Cross (Curtis Manning), James Morrison (Bill Buchanan), DB Woodside (President Palmer) and Emmy nominees Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart (former president Logan and his wife, Martha).
