From Kristin at E!Online

"An inside source is telling me that 24 is looking to cast two new
roles for season six: a JFK Jr. type president(this will probably be a
recurring role) and an African American female in her early 30s,
attractive and smart... and word is that the offer has gone out to
Regina King (Ray, Jerry Maguire) AKA Brenda Jenkins of 227! - Yippee!
Again, this is all hearsay, but reliable hearsay"

Dick Sidbury...

uh,.... what is a "JFK Jr. type president?" A good looking guy who
thinks he's more competent than he is? Or perhaps a charismatic rich
magazine publisher?

Gloria V....

Well, after Logan's antics undermine faith in his party, the people
apparently turn to a good looking son of a former President despite
his lack of qualifications. I wonder if the fictional JFK jr. will
have been elected to any office at all before being handed the
presidency. Too bad Patrick Dempsey is unavailable.

GarondoMarondo...

They should drop the President for a season or two if Logan is out.

Brett A. Pasternack...

Sounds like they're already making plans to render the last few scenes
of this season completely irrelevant.

JoB...

Kind of like how they rendered the S5 prequel 95% irrelevant.

Mike Russell...

Here's a thought - maybe the movie will pick up on the China thread, and
feed into the next season.

The Lone Harangeur...

Might be tough to do since the movie's setting is supposed to be London.

Mike Russell...

Oh yeah, real tough: China to London to LA. Bingo - set up for next season.

Ian J. Ball...

I can't see Regina King working as a CTU agent.
A gov't bureaucrat, maybe. But as a field agent? Uh uh.

David B...

Her character is suppsoed to be (assuming this info is true) the chief of
staff at CTU which was the job Nina had in season one. It's not a field
agent position.

24 Fan...

But I thought Curtis currently holds that posistion.

David B...

Curtis is the Director of Field Operations. That's the position Jack had in
season 3.

GarondoMarondo...

She's gotten herself into shape, I think it could work

Garondo Marondo!
