Cole (Freddie Prinze Jr.) fights to save Jack’s life in the climactic two-hour 24 series finale episode “2:00-4:00 PM” airing Monday, May 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. [click to continue…]
Photos of last nights 24 courtesy of FOX. Those Jack Bauer/Charles Logan ones are so good. Jack looked so badass in that body armor suit – I know who I wanna be for Halloween this year!
The full press release isn’t out yet, but here’s the TV synopsis:
President Taylor asks a private security firm to complete a sensitive task; Jack asks an old friend (Michael Madsen) for a favor before embarking on a mission of his own.
So now we know the episode where the Jim Ricker character (played by badass Michael Madsen) comes into play. And somewhat surprisingly, it sounds like he may be Jack’s ally rather than a villain.
When you need a bad-ass, who better to call than Michael Madsen, who has played that role so well in such films as Reservoir Dogs, Thelma & Louise, Kill Bill and Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (er…scratch that last one)? Now, the much sought-after 52-year-old has been cast on Fox’s 24 as Jim Ricker, a character sources describe to me as an ex-military guy from Jack Bauer’s past. Meaning, of course, a bad-ass.
Ricker will pop up as the clock ticks toward the final hours of Day Eight, which is looking more and more like Jack’s last day on TV before he heads to the movies.
Although it wasn’t mentioned in the article, I know Madsen has been filming 24 since February. There’s a recent photo of him on the set here. Could Ricker’s ex-military roots tie into the Operation Nightfall mission perhaps? Whatever the case may be, Michael Madsen should be a pretty cool addition to 24 – Madsen has played some great villains in the past.
