Julian Sands is a prolific English actor who played Vladimir Bierko in Day 5 of 24.
In an interview with TV Guide, Sands says that his portrayal was partially influenced by early Bond villains, referencing Ernst Stavro Blofeld in particular, noting the exotic quality of a villain who lurks in the shadows, a departure from the villains of previous seasons, who were generally not revealed to viewers until they were ready to take matters into their own hands.
