We may have only seen a brief glimpse of him in the 24: Exile trailer leaked this week, but Jon Voight will definitely be a big pain in Jack Bauer’s ass on the upcoming season of 24. Voight spoke to reporters at this weeks TCA’s and told them that his character is “a witty fellow, sarcastic perhaps. He’s intimidating because he plays it light, but he’s got a sharp barb – his tongue can hurt you. He’s got a sense of humor, but boy, he’s dangerous.”
Voight will make his first appearance in 24: Exile, and will continue throughout season seven.
Carlo Rota May Return to 24

While promoting his latest project, a Canadian remake of Othello to air on CBC Sunday, Carlo Rota told the Toronto Star that the writers’ strike caused him to drop out of 24. Rota, who also stars on CBC’s hit comedy Little Mosque on the Prairie, was forced to choose between both shows, and he chose Little Mosque over 24 because the strike went on so long.
That doesn’t mean that he won’t return to 24 for the upcoming season. Apparently producers want him back (someone’s gotta watch the baby which Chloe saves the world), but scheduling conflicts are causing both parties to “be a bit nebulous about it” according to Rota.
