Casting news  Jericho and 24
-
- July
- 23
What the!? Our favorite Secret Service Agent, Aaron Pierce, apparently will not return to 24 next season. Glenn Morshower is joining the NBC drama Friday Night Lights as “Landry’s father, a state champion Panthers alum turned local lawman.” Not having ever watched FNL, I have no idea who Landry is, but I see Morshower’s destined for a life of typecasting. Of course, after the Season 6 crapapalooza … (honestly, I just wanted an excuse to say “crapapalooza” again.)
But WWMLD? (That means “What Will Martha Logan Do?”)
Meanwhile, Jericho gets a new cast regular for its seven-episode (hopefully to be more!) pickup: Esai Morales. He’ll play Col. Hoffman, “a career military man and Iraq War veteran who has not heard from his wife since the day of the attacks.”
Hoffman is the colonel to whom Heather appealed for help for Jericho. This is a cast change; Titus Welliver, the actor who played Hoffman in the season finale (“Why We Fight”), was not available. Welliver has a long TV history, with his most notable recent run as Silas Adams on Deadwood.

I love Morales. What a nice addition to our cast. This makes Season 2 even more inviting. Thanks.
