:''"''24'' was a great ride, it was great to be involved with a crew like that and get that pace going for that long. That was a lot of fun. I died on ''Dirt'' and I died on ''24''. I’m like waiting for the guns to go off on Wisteria Lane."''

Nordling played the role of [[Larry Moss]], the [[FBI]]'s [[Special Agent in Charge]] in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] Field Office during [[Season 7|Day 7]]. He was part of the [[Main cast]], and appeared in 19 episodes. To prepare for the role, Nordling and the crew visited the National Counter Terrorism Center where they met different employees. Moss said of the experience that: "They are all Larry Moss. There is not a Jack Bauer there. They obey the rule of law." Nordling also called Moss the "most realistic [character] on the show".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newsok.com/article/3363527|title=24's Jeffrey Nordling disappointed in his character's death|publisher=''NewsOK''|author=Kersey, Jason and Ben Walnick|date=April 22, 2009}}</ref>

Nordling's character is only one of twelve characters of ''24'' to die while being a member of the main cast. Nordling has stated in interviews that he was disappointed about being one of the many killed off during the season. His main concern with it is that the writers "kill off the two characters that are the moral compasses in the show".

:"There is somebody there that stands for that, and Larry Moss stood for that. Every time Jack or [[Renee Walker|Renee]] would say, 'We don’t have a choice', he would say, 'Yes, of course you have a choice. You obey the rule of law; that’s what your choice is'. To kill off those two characters, I find disappointing."

On one of the video interviews, [[Carlos Bernard]] joked about filming the sequence, whether or not his character [[Tony Almeida|Tony]] has justified his traitorous actions and that Nordling should get over the experience of being killed off.
