Talk:Actors considered for 24 roles

Other contenders

 * Great idea for a list; full kudos to the OP! Some other contenders would include:


 * Gabriel Macht (Originally tried out for the Chase Edmunds role)
 * Oleg Taktarev (originally was supposed to be in Season 5- possibly in the Ostroff role)
 * Eddie Izzard (while he already has a page here, he could still be listed here since he did leave the show after filming some scenes which weren't retained)
 * Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller, while not considered, (this might go in background information and notes) attempted to get a role on the show but were denied due to being too recognizable for this show's format.
 * Annie Wersching tried out for the Nadia Yassir role
 * Paul Blackthorne auditioned for the Michael Amador role
 * Jayne Atkinson attempted to try out for the Martha Logan role despite knowing she wasn't right for the part
 * Clayne Crawford- auditioned for the Cole Ortiz role
 * Jeff Goldblum was one of many considered for the Jack Bauer role
 * Marisol Nichols auditioned for the Claudia Hernandez, Michelle Dessler and Carrie Turner roles
 * Reiko Aylesworth tried out for the Kate Warner and Nina Myers roles

Also, I thought that Donald Sutherland also said in that same interview that aside from scheduling differences that he also couldn't picture himself playing an antagonist to his real-life son on-screen so that's why he also declined. Either way, he did acknowledge that he regretted it.


 * Another fact that can go in background notes could be that there were other actors cast for the role of Conrad Haas, before settling with Jeff Kober, forcing the filmmakers to reshoot the opening of Day 5. --Gunman6 (talk) 07:37, November 10, 2014 (UTC)
