Freddie Prinze Jr. on 24


The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Freddie Prinze Jr. will be joining the cast of Fox's 24 next season [Season 8]. Mr. She's All That will be playing Davis Cole, "a recently returned Marine who runs CTU Field Ops and wants to follow in Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) footsteps."

I've never really been a fan of Freddie Prinze Jr., I even shrugged at the thought about him gunning for the part of Peter Parker in Spider-Man. At the same time, I don't doubt the casting decisions that are made on 24. I'm on the fence on this one. While I don't doubt that 24 will be great, I'm worried Freddie will be a pretty-boy distraction. We'll see what happens.
