Gbenga Akinnagbe And Giles Matthey Join 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY; Carlos Bernard To Return?
Gbenga Akinnagbe and Giles Matthey are the latest additions to the cast of 24: Live Another Day, which picks up with Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer four years after the season eight finale.
Deadline reveals that the first two new series regulars have been found for 24: Live Another Day; Gbenga Akinnagbe (The Good Wife) and Giles Matthey (True Blood). According to the site, "Akinnagbe will play Erik Ritter, a strong, sharp, arrogant and ambitious CIA field operative. Matthey will play Jordan Reed, a smart and sophisticated CIA computer tech." Plot details are scarce, but we do know that the 12 episode event series will pick up the story four years after four years after the unsatisfying series finale. London will this time serve as the setting. They join Mary Lynn Rajskub, Kim Raver, William Devane and Judy Davis, who will have a villainous recurring role.
