More 24 casting news, plus, Janeane speaks out

Awesome. Do you watch HBO’s “Entourage”? If you do, you’re gonna love the news that Rhys Coiro, who plays the totally nutso indie director Billy Walsh, is joining the cast of “24” next season.
According to an interview with Janeane Garofalo in the Ottowa Sun, she and Coiro will work “closely together on a counter-terrorism task force.”
Will they be good guys or bad guys? Garofalo tells the Sun:
They don’t tell you in the long term, because they don’t want it to affect how you might behave.
Janeane says she reports to the set of 24 on Sept. 7. That is, if they don’t postpone things again.
Anyhow, she joked that she might find dialogue coming out of her mouth that seems antithetical to her far-left-leaning nature.
That’s why I feel like I’m being punked. I feel like the creators are going to make me say things that cause my sphincter to tighten.
Whatever the case, it’s good to hear that casting is continuing apace, no matter who’s being hired. If they’re hiring actors, that means they have at least a partial clue as to where this season’s going. About time.

Garofalo is classless.
What’s that, Adam? Garofalo is classy? Wait’ll I tell on you.
Hey… I think that bringing Janeane Garofalo on-board 24 is a brilliant component of the effort to revamp the show. She’ll be the wry voice of reason in an what is an often ridiculous setting. My full take… hope you enjoy:
