James Morrison talks about his character’s demise on this week’s episode of 24.

“You’re expecting your demise from the minute you walk onto this show. You’re taught to know that that’s what’s going to happen to you. And they don’t miss an opportunity to let you know that it could happen to any minute!”

James said his only concern was that it was a good death. He says that the arc they created for the character was complete.

In addition to being an actor and a yoga instructor, James Morrison is also a film producer. He’s currently working on a documentary film titled Showing Up, about the process an actor goes through while auditioning. Showing Up features a slew of actors including 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub, Gregory Itzin and Janeane Garofalo.

Check out the interview below to hear Morrison talk about Showing Up, and 24’s affect on his career and well being:

Chemistry is a weird thing on television. Either actors have it, or they don’t. If they don’t no amount of writing can fix it, and if they do nothing can really compare. Thankfully James Morrison had it with Kiefer Sutherland, and in a recent interview with Malaysia’s Star Online, Morrison described why he thinks Bill Buchanan keeps coming back on 24.

“Yeah, you know, it’s interesting. I’ve seen an interesting chemistry in the work between us. And I’m not exactly sure I can describe it because we don’t really spend that much time with each other when we’re not working. We don’t spend any time with each other when we’re not working. We discuss the work. It’s all about the work, and yet we have a good relationship … but that intangible quality of chemistry … is, I think, the main reason I’m still on the show, frankly,” said Morrison.

24’s the type of show that lets characters grow naturally. As someone rewatching the earlier seasons, it’s hard to imagine a show with Bill and Chloe, but when those characters were introduced they had relatively tiny roles. It was only after the writers realized the talents and strengths of the actors that they expanded them. So that leads me to ask, what 24 character that started small ended up being your favourite? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

With the recent celeb trend to go on dancing shows, I thought it would be fun to pose the question, which 24 star (past or present) do you think would be a great competitor on Dancing with the Stars?

• Kiefer Sutherland?
• Elisha Cuthbert?
• Jean Smart?
• Kim Raver?
• Mary Lynn Rajskub?
• James Morrison? (He’s big into yoga, so imagine the flexibility!)
• Edgar. You know you’d watch to see if he could make it through a routine, or not.

Let me know in the comments who you think would be a perfect fit, and why. Come on guys, let’s lighten up and have a bit of fun.

Do you live in the Los Angeles area? Want to start Yoga but never really had the incentive to start? 24’s James Morrison may be that incentive. Morrison has been practicing Yoga seriously for a decade, and currently teaches three classes a week at the Center for Yoga in Los Angeles - Santa Barbara.

If you do decide to take his class, just try not to fangirl too hard about Bill Buchanan. Morrison tells US Airways that he likes to “believe people come because I’m becoming a better teacher, but maybe it’s because they want to see Bill Buchanan teach yoga.”  We would never do that…

At least according to Zap2it.com he is. James Morrison ranks 10th on the list of most underrated actors, for his portrayal of Bill Buchanan on 24. Here’s what Zap2it has to say about Morrison:

No matter what Jack suggests, no matter how crazy it is or how many innocent civilians might be tortured in the process, it’s probably best to trust him. We like Bill Buchanan because he’s one of the few people on the show who seems to have caught on, even if it took him a couple seasons and we like Morrison because he’s made the character’s journey look believable. At least believable by “24″ standards. Plus, the on-screen romance between Buchanan and Karen Hayes is perhaps the show’s most healthy and stable.
