Freddie Prinze Jr. Joins Cast Of '24'

Freddie Prinze Jr. is joining the cast of the Fox series 24 as a regular, playing Davis Cole, a recently returned Marine who runs CTU Field Ops (via THR).

The 33-year-old actor will start shooting in New York City soon, where the upcoming eighth season has already started production. Earlier this year, it was reported that Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) will be playing a Middle East leader and Chris Diamantopoulos will take on the role of the president’s new chief of staff.

This project is perfect for Prinze as his pregnant wife Sarah Michelle Gellar is also in town to shoot her new pilot, The Wonderful Maladys.
