Spoilers and news for the hit FOX television show 24
Here’s something cool: Greg Ellis (24 Season 3 villain Michael Amador) will appear in Kiefer Sutherland’s new web series The Confession, premiering in March on Hulu. Here’s a promo still of them together (Kiefer plays a hit man).
The Confession was written and directed by Brad Mirman, who Kiefer collaborated with before on the film Truth or Consequences, N.M. back in 1997. Mykelti Williamson (24‘s Brian Hastings) also starred in that movie.

TV Guide sure likes their 24 – the series finale placed on their “best episodes of 2010” list, the final scene was one of their “unforgettable moments“, and now this Dana Walsh scene is one of their “top moments” of the year:
24‘s Jack Bauer Silences Dana Walsh (Finally)
It’s always good to see Jack Bauer take down the bad guy, but it was especially rewarding for fans when he finally put double agent Dana Walsh out of her misery. After trying to sabotage the CTU the entire season (and becoming one of the series’ most despised characters), Jack finally corners Dana and shoots her dead despite her plea for mercy.

William Keck from TV Guide Magazine has wrangled a little more information out of 24 writer Brannon Braga regarding Callum Keith Rennie’s character:
Battlestar Galactica vet Callum Keith Rennie, who played Leoben Conoy on the sci-fi series, will be joining his former co-star Katee Sackoff on the new season of 24, premiering in January 2010. Callum, who also had a recurring role on Californication and played Harper’s Island killer John Wakefield, will be playing Vladimir Laitanan. Co-executive producer Brannon Braga describes the character as a Russian syndicate mobster who debuts around episode six or seven. “We love this actor,” says Braga.
Expect Vlad to team in some way with 24‘s other new villain, Eastern European mobster Bazhaev, played by “Das Boot” actor Jurgen Prochnow.

Meet 24‘s new bad guy. 68-year-old German actor Jürgen Prochnow will terrorize New York City as Jack Bauer’s newest nemesis, Bazhaev. 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 executive producer Howard Gordon, who teases that President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin) could likely make a return in the new season. “He’s out there somewhere.” Sounds like Jack’s going to have his hands full.
