How many jaws just dropped to the floor?

Two just did in my house.

David...

They totally missed the boat on not giving Jack an evil twin. What's
the point of an evil brother if he isn't a twin?

bllbickel...

They are twins. Identical twins, actually. Like Schwarzenegger and
DeVito.

cloud dreamer...

He does have a twin. Unfortunately, she's not an actor. She works in
post-production in Toronto.

David...

Kiefer should play Jack, the brother, the kid and Jack's dad. They can
be like the LeBrons.

I wonder if Donald Sutherland is playing the dad....

Tom...

No it's the great James Cromwell, but DS would've been a great choice!

Patty Winter (patty1...

According to this article:

Sutherland Sr. was their first choice, but he was busy on a film in
Australia and couldn't do it. Pity.

Tom...

Thanks, Patty. I kinda figures it was something like that. DS isn't
above TV, so I didn't think that was it.

cloud dreamer...

Yeah. Nice to know they tried. DS would be a great bad guy.

David B...

Too bad. That would've been so cool. But they did get James Cromwell so
it's ok they couldn't get Donald Sutherland.

cloud dreamer...

Excellent. Always liked Cromwell...

Watson deMeneux...

Having two refugees from Commander in Chief in the show might have been
a bit much....but another Canadian would be nice...

Arthur Lipscomb...

But Donald would have been perfect.

Just imagine Jack torchoring his brother when his dad walks in and yells
"Jack what are you doing to your brother? Never do that again. That's not
how to torcher a man. This is how you torcher a man!"

So has there ever been any mention of Jack's brother before?

copeab...

Until this season, as far as we knew Jack had sprung fully formed from
the thigh of Zeus ...

It appears Jack only has family members when the plot demands it.
