Add this to the list of why Cherry Jones is a treasure:
What was your best drunken night in the city? “Coming home on my bicycle on the opening night of Macbeth. I momentarily lost a stiletto. But I didn’t do that again. I don’t ride under the influence.” —Cherry Jones
(via new york magazine)
I gotta hand it to the 24 casting directors - in addition to Cherry Jones' phenomenal, ferocious turn as President Allison Taylor, we get to enjoy Janeane Garofalo and Rhys Coiro (aka Entourage's nutty director Billy Walsh) nerding out as potentially-crooked FBI agents. This week's episode also featured a heart-wrenching guest star performance from Tom Irwin of My So-Called Life. This season might not be a return to the nerve-jangling storylines of the 24's early years, but spotty writing aside, they sure do get the casting just right.
Yes! Cherry Jones will play the President of the United States on the upcoming season of 24. Hopefully, this will make up for the completely unconvincing casting of D.B. Woodside as the faux-menacing President of season six. I think Cherry will be fantastic.
Playbill says, "Production of the series, the Hollywood Reporter reveals, has been delayed until next month because 'a set-in-Africa storyline fell through and the producers [have gone] back to the drawing board.' "
And by "back to the drawing board," they mean "back to figuring out how many nuclear threats to America Jack Bauer can defuse in one season". I really hope they can figure out an interesting, original plot for this season. I hate to say it, but the show just hasn't been exciting or original since, oh, I'd say season four.
