Well, he may just be a henchman.  Rory Cochran will join 24 playing an associate of Jonas Hodges.  Hodges, played by Jon Voight, was previously announced to be season seven’s big bad, a character Voight described as “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.” No doubt if Rory Cochran’s character is running with Hodges, he’s bad news.

Cochran is best known to television audiences as Tim Speedle on CBS’ CSI Miami.  His movie roles have included Dazed and Confused, Empire Records and A Scanner Darkly.

Marlene Forte  is the latest cast addition to 24’s 7th season.  Forte is cast as Rosa Gonzales, a character whose identity is still shrouded in secrecy.  The only details released about Rosa Gonzales is that she is “a woman who is concerned about Ike Dubaku (played by Hakeem Kae-Kazim) and warns her sister about it.”  Considering we know nothing about Ike Dubaku or the mysterious sister in question, we’re just gonna have to wait and see exactly who Rosa Gonzales is.

Forte is a Cuban American actress recently seen in guest starring roles in The Unit, Lost and CSI.  Forte will recur in an unannounced number of episodes.
