User:Blue Rook/Gredenko ultranationalists

The show 24 is characterized by sprawling groups of bad guys crawling out of the woodwork. Even if you don't see them in a particular instance, there are mentioned characters scheming away offscreen.

For some reason, however, the crew working for Dmitri Gredenko was a very exclusive group. At maximum, I count 16 different faces. Yes, I am aware that there are a handful of potentially tinier groups. But a specific reason, Gredenko's is my favorite of the small villain shops. That reason is: a large number of these villains are not seen to be arrested or killed. Justice is relatively swift in 24 but many of Gredenko's terrorist cell members seem to have escaped.

When Acer4666 discovered and uploaded this awesome pic, it spurred me to post my findings about the Russian Ultranationalists for all to read, enjoy, and correct wherever necessary, in the same spirit of Acer's /Gaines' Group and Thief12's /Season5Thugs.

 * Yuli disappears entirely after he and his two truckers drive the drones to the Shadow Valley desert and rendezvous with Gredenko, Victor, and the others. Get ready folks, because it's not just this smug asshole who apparently escapes justice.

= Goons =

Hirsute

 * Played by: David Brickman
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 2:00pm-3:00pm - 2:02pm, standing guard prominently by 9421 Glasgow window, seen first even before Gredenko himself
 * Day 6: 3:00pm-4:00pm
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm - 4:02pm, Shadow Valley, his back is barely visible; later at the split screen of 4:53:37 split screen, he is carrying the back end of an aerial drone box with Baldo, while Wingman and Browncoat carry the front
 * Day 6: 5:00pm-6:00pm - 5:23pm, he can be spotted walking to the right of the screen, with an assembled drone prominently in the foreground
 * Day 6: 6:00pm-7:00pm - 6:20pm, he walks right behind Abu Fayed; seen also during 6:42:07 (top left) split screen with Browncoat in the foreground
 * Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm - 7:03pm, he is working on a suitcase nuke while FlashlightGuy provides light and nearby the separate pair consisting of Browncoat and Baldo work on a different nuke


 * Take note: this dude looks very different between his first episode and all his other ones. While he is still wearing the same clothes, he has not kept his beard trimmed; and, whereas originally his forehead was visible because his hair was raised up in front, by 4pm he has allowed his head hair to drop down into a bowl-cut looking blob.
 * Not seen again after the group hastily departs from the Shadow Valley.

Baldo 1

 * Played by: Anthony ?????
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 2:00pm-3:00pm - 2:47pm, standing guard prominently by 9421 Glasgow window, just like Hirsute earlier that same episode
 * Day 6: 3:00pm-4:00pm
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm - 4:02pm, Shadow Valley, his back is visible, standing next to Browncoat, as the screen credits for Adoni Maropis + "Rade Sherbedgia" appear; 4:31pm he is busily tinkering inside a large black suitcase-type box right as Yuli arrives; 4:53:35pm/4:53:40pm split screen, he is carrying the back end of an aerial drone box with Hirsute, while Wingman and Browncoat carry the front
 * Day 6: 5:00pm-6:00pm - 5:23pm, his back can be spotted in the center of the screen, with an assembled drone prominently in the foreground, while Hirsute walks to the right
 * Day 6: 6:00pm-7:00pm - 6:20pm, he walks behind Gredenko; seen also during 6:42:07 split screen
 * Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm - 7:03pm, he is working on a suitcase nuke with Browncoat quite nicely until Abu Fayed walks over and shouts at them like they are part of his own crew
 * A different actor appears as a bald henchman and is killed in 8pm, but this seems to be a different character too, since there is a goon overhaul in that episode. See Baldo 2.
 * Not seen again after the group hastily departs from the Shadow Valley.

= The following are under construction: =

Browncoat

 * Played by: (possibly Gregory Klein)
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 2:00pm-3:00pm - 2:02pm, in 9421 Glasgow Browncoat makes his first appearance for a few, extremely blurry frames directly behind Gredenko as he holds a silver cell phone to his ear
 * Day 6: 3:00pm-4:00pm
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm - 4:02pm, Shadow Valley,

Wingman



 * Played by: Chris Gann
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm

Yuli trucker 1

 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm
 * Day 6: 8:00pm-9:00pm

Yuli trucker 2

 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 4:00pm-5:00pm

FlashlightGuy

 * Played by: ?????
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm - 7:03pm, he is shining light on a suitcase nuke while Hirsute fiddles diligently, and nearby the separate pair consisting of Browncoat and Baldo work on a different nuke, another view at 7:05"34pm
 * Day 6: 8:00pm-9:00pm - 8:04:11 he closes the truck loading door immediately after Gredenko goes in to talk with Fayed, more direct view of face but blurry
 * It is easy to confuse FlashlightGuy with Browncoat but they are indeed different people, appearing together in the same scene.

Victor guard 1

 * Played by: Tony Donno
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm

Victor guard 2

 * Played by: Dustin Meier

 * Day 6: 7:00pm-8:00pm

Backseatsman

 * Played by: John Austin
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 8:00pm-9:00pm - 8:31pm, barely visible for only an instant behind Gredenko in the car. Later he is either magically replaced by Greyhair, or, Gredenko stopped and swapped for a crew in that car.

Stubble

 * This character appears strictly in the Gredenko Capture scene, just like Baldo 2 and Greyhair.

Baldo 2

 * Played by: (possibly Theo Kypri)
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 8:00pm-9:00pm
 * This character appears strictly in the Gredenko Capture scene, just like Stubble and Greyhair.
 * He seems to be a replacement for Baldo 1, but it is not the same performer.

Greyhair

 * Played by: ?????
 * Live appearances
 * Day 6: 8:00pm-9:00pm
 * This character appears strictly in the Gredenko Capture scene, just like Stubble and Baldo 2.
 * This clown is the final guy to get taken down by CTU when Gredenko was captured, has relatively long grey hair, and seems to have magically replaced John Austin in the right side backseat
