Jack Bauer’s Daddy To be Played by James Cromwell

James Cromwell to play Jack Bauer's DadKiefer Sutherland looking drunk

Do you think they look alike?

It was recently announced that in season 6 of 24 Jack Bauer’s (Kiefer Sutherland) dad will be in the picture.  He’s going to be played by James Cromwell of "Six Feet Under" and almost every Star Trek iteration.  Too bad Kiefer’s real life dad veteran actor Donald Sutherland wasn’t cast.  He’s SO talented!

Sure, super-agent Jack Bauer has a dad somewhere … but in Season Six of 24, we will learn that he looks like the farmer guy from Babe, and possibly even the chap who invented warp drive in the Star Trek universe.

Yep, James Cromwell has joined the cast of the Emmy-winning show as Philip Bauer, Jack’s pop.

Also on board is Eddie Izzard, fresh from his turn as a lovestruck super-baddy in My Super Ex-Girlfriend, as "a villainous accomplice", according to a Zap2It.com report.

Messrs Cromwell and Izzard join other new faces like Kal Penn, Harry Lennix, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Syriana’s Alexander Siddig, Regina King, Marisol Nichols and Peter Macnicol (Ally McBeal’s "Biscuit"). Via The Star
