For those who have never seen “24” but have planned a Binge marathon: The texts contain spoilers to seasons one to nine.
30 Margot A-Harazi (Michelle Fairley)
Her Arab husband was killed by a US drone, since then the British revenge has sweared by the American president. Fairley convinces as an intelligent technician who cynically, despite the loss of her husband, would also go through corpses within the family for her mission.
29 Navi Araz (Nestor Serrano)
In his role as-presumably Iranian-terrorist, the American Nestor Serrano succeeds in a tightrope walk. Medium -sized family man Navi Araz is both sleepers and in the crucial moments aggressor, even against your own family. It offers an impenetrable facade that crumbles slowly.
28 Kate Warner (Sarah Wynter)
In the outstanding season of 2nd, the millionaire daughter initially attracts all unclear, as they condemned the Arab fermentation of their little sister out of apparently racist motifs. Later she works decisively on the arrest of atomic bombing – and discovers the terrorist in her own clean family.
27 Larry Moss (Jeffrey Nordling)
The FBI man has to put something on it, he can really be upright … yes, he can. An official with the highest ideal. But unfortunately also too good -faith – however, you have to keep Larry, his murderer had really adjusted.
26 Paul Raines (James Frain)
One of the most versatile “24” figures. First Raines appears as a British snob with windy shops, then he becomes Jack Bauer’s competitor because he wants the same woman. In the end, he would sacrifice himself so that farmer can continue to work – Bauer, in turn, lets Raines, presented before a choice. A tragedy of Shakespearesheme, the focus of which is an unfortunate in love.
25 Lynn McGill (Sean Astin)
“24” gave some figures the chance to mutate from the asshole to the hero after duty. Aste in his first unpleasant role is one of them: When he virtually indebted a break -in into the CTU, he sacrifices himself to the poison gas to save his colleagues. Maybe the best role of the former “Samweis Gamdschie” and “Goonie”.
24 Mike Doyle (Ricky Schroeder)
Brutal, patriotic, committed to the matter: As a younger Jack Bauer edition, Doyle would also go about friendships to clarify crimes. His initially racist profiling of colleagues turns out to be a precaution. Schroeder, who played the “Little Lord” as a child, convinces as a former Sonnyboy, which is now drawn by violence.
23 Carl Benton (Robert Carlyle)
For the “24” feature film “Redemption”, the always sovereign Carlyle slipped into the role of an ex-agent who tries to forget his murderous missions in exile in Africa. Sanded up, meditative, self -sacrificing – one of the very big supporting roles of “24”.
22 Ira Gaines (Michael Massee)
In Gaines we encounter one in Season the very first – openly recognizable – villain of the series. Like Bauer, the terrorist is a man of concise words and consistent actions, his death in the middle of the relay introduces the series principle that lurks an even more threatening behind every antagonist. However, Gaines would have deserved a longer appearance.
21 Kate Morgan (Yvonne Strahovski)
It is astonishing that it had to take nine (!) Season for a woman as an agent in the series who should record it with Jack Bauer when it comes to peat power. Kate Morgan would be a case for a spin-off series.
20 Christopher Henderson (Peter Weller)
From season five, large cinema names came up with the increasingly popular series. Weapon dealer Henderson was one of the best opponents of Bauers; Weller, equipped with a laser view and a cutting voice, was a train ahead of the ex-CTU man in almost every respect.
19 Morris O’Brian (Carlo Rota)
The quick-witted ex-shoe seller and system analyst is the “Comic Relief” of the series; Attacks counters the dry alcoholic with a British joke. Actually a good guy, Morris almost resists the toughest torture and opposes the request to reveal secrets: “Not Bloody Likely, Mate.”
18 Renee Walker (Annie Wersching)
The once upright FBI agent changes in the course of two seasons to the psychopath, which does not shy away from extreme violence. One of the most realistic “24” figures; Perhaps she was designed to demonstrate the worst possible impact of police work.
17 Mandy (Mia Kirshner)
Maybe your figure is a bit oversubscribed, comic like. We don’t even find out the last name of the killer. But Mandy is the most dangerous and unscrupulous of all opponents, and almost flawlessly in the practice of their work. Like a robot. As one of the few “24” antagonists, her fate remains unknown to this day.
16 Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke)
The very first “mole” of a series that can play with double identities like no other. As the ex-lover of Jack Bauer and later murderer of his wife, Myers is almost responsible for everything that Bauer drives in the eight other seasons. Two other Seasons is the widower on the hunt for her, until Myers, has finally been a little done to the caricature due to increasing malice. Bauer’s first blow, which does not result from self -defense.
15 Bill Buchanan (James Morrison. Li.)
The rather stiff, but also prudent secret service boss is something like the “Bridge Over Trobled Water” for Bauer over a period of four seasons. He can even be fired for the purpose – but the honorary death of this secondary figure in Season Sieben seemed a bit forced.
14 Ryan Chapelle (Paul Schulze)
How did we hate the large -mouthed bureaucrats Ryan! And then Schulze shows us in the probably most moving sacrifice of the series how much a person can hang alive, with grief, anger, despair. Would he like to say goodbye to someone before his execution? “I had no friends apart from the people of work,” says Chapelle. The series appreciates his death at the end of the following with the characteristic stop clock.
13 George Mason (Xander Berkeley)
For one and a half seasons, the CTU boss was a bad guy who only acted out of self-interest. Then Mason, like Lynn McGill (25th place), changes to the hero, as only “24” can do something like that. And what kind of hero! After a nuclear accident, Mason flies the bomb into the California desert, ready for a Kamikaze mission-for which farmer had actually registered, but the Mason hit KO beforehand. The detonation of the bomb is one of the most depressing scenes in the series.
12 Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi)
In addition to Morris (19th place) the second sympathizer, a man with pure heart. Actually a mother’s son, Edgar falls in love with his colleague Chloe without a chance. When the unlanded computer speech wants to help with a poison gas attack, he himself signs his death sentence-perhaps the most difficult to digest the series, whose fifth season certainly offered the toughest strikes of fate. Here, too, the episode closes with a silent stop clock. Edgar’s last word: “Chloe.”
11 James Heller (William Devane)
Devane is old Hollywood iron and an excellent speaker. His Senator Heller (in season 9 he will play the president) is a Vietnam veteran who has not forgotten how to deal with the machine gun. He even lets his own son torture on behalf of the state – and prohibits Bauer contact with his daughter. How brighter will be dealt with in the new season?
10 Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Gerald)
Like the evil, power-conscious playmate from a soap opera, Sherry sometimes comes across, the wife and then ex-wife of the US president. A bit like Alexis Colby. However, Sherry makes the most intelligent decisions in the power and forced quick results. And, in contrast to her husband David, recognized in good time that you have to get your fingers a little dirty if you want to get involved.
9 Aaron Pierce (Glenn Morshower)
In addition to farmer, the bodyguard is the biggest constant of “24” (in seven seasons). Sleeely, loyal and rational, is Pierce part of the secret group that will uncover the murder of one president and initiate the overthrow of the other president. His sincerity is rewarded, in the end he gets a great partner (eighth place).
8 Martha Logan (Jean Smart)
To introduce a presidential to mental problems, that alone was a courageous decision by the “24” producers. Jean Smart’s complex representation of a woman who, despite her confusion, realizes that life full of lies is the very last one has a significant part in the triumph of the fifth season. Her marriage to the overwhelmed Charles is that makes a subplot for the first time in the “24” story even more exciting than the scenes in which Jack Bauer is the focus.
7 Mike Novick (Jude Ciccolella)
As a consultant, Novick is a second row man, but often also smarter than the president at the microphone. Ciccolella masterfully plays this thinker, who always has to try to convince his employer and just not to give him the feeling that a head of state could not make his own decisions. His often suppressed facial expressions reflects this conflict. In the end, Mike is even allowed to take revenge from two presidents, whom he once revealed in the service of a primarily good cause.
6 Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub)
The neurotic and highly intelligent analyst was introduced in season three without a clear order. In the meantime, Chloe, the crumpled facial expressions of which initially left you at a loss, is more and more enthusiastic, the clear fan favorite of the series; Jacks desperate exclamation “Damn it, chloe!” Still rang in the ears. At the end of the eighth season, Bauer devoted her to her great thanks, just jumping from the shovel. The “24” knighthood.
5 Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth)
For some, “Tonelle” (Michelle and your partner Tony) is the greatest lovers in the series; Above all, Dessler is one of the most potent “24” figures; Always ready to use, quickly acting, but also able to award it. Even if the well -being of everyone goes to her own or that of her husband. The perfect agent.
4 Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard)
The fact that “24” fell victim to the “Jumping the Shark” effect in the seventh season is also thanks to the unbelievable resurrection of the dead Tony. The producer remembered nothing else than to bring one of the most tragic sympathy figures back on board. And yet we suffer again! Almeida had everything, did more for love, and then lost everything again. You still wish him a comeback.
3 David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert)
Many fans say that Haysbert’s charismatic appearance as head of state would have promoted Obama’s election to the first African American president seven years later. In fact, he portrays the first man in the state as a whine giant; One who sinks more and more, albeit involuntarily, in the swamp of hypocrisy.
2 Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin)
The president’s shoes were one number too big for the less confident angle advocate. But Logan corrupts through every crisis. Anyone who repeatedly accuses the “24” makers of loud farmer’s torture is forget to forget something: We are dealing with the figure of Logan with an almost incompetent state leader who distributes murder orders at will. If there is not a government -critical message behind it, which then?
1 Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland)
He sees the greatest punishment that Jack still lives, after the loss of his wife, his girlfriend’s wing, the forced execution of colleagues through his own hand, after the years in Chinese torture. Only his own death will be able to redeem him. Until then, it is still a little needed as a world savior. Copy that.
