Dalton Furrelle

Dalton Furrelle was a systems analyst from District brought in during Day 3 to assist.

Note: Originally written as a large role with it's own story lineAccording to Jon Casser the character was too "quirky" and that Chloe ended up serving much of his "oddball" function. The producers decided that the character they wrote was too goofy and didn't fit the serious nature of the show.

Dalton was to be a smoker (who turned off the smoke detecting nodes in the coffee lounge so he could smoke in CTU) who was unkempt but who was quite good at his job.

His character was going to butt heads with Adam Kaufman, be admired by Kim Bauer. Dalton appears in the background of three episodes, then disappears.

It is one of the few times producers have wrote off a character because it didn't work, and perhaps the only time that character wasn't killed. Perhaps it is more noteable because the actor playing the role was recognizeable to many from the movie Office Space where he played Michael Bolton.

His deleted scenes involve him turning off the smokeing nodes and asking Kim Bauer where he can get a comfortable chair.
