I have no idea what that headline means, it just needed to come out.
Rick Schroder, the former child star (remember “The Champ” and “Silver Spoons”) turned serious “don’t call me Ricky” dramatic actor (“NYPD Blue” and “Strong Medicine” — yeah, I didn’t remember that one, either), will join the cast of “24” when the new season starts in January.
This inside scoop from Fox: “Schroder will play forceful CTU Operative Mike Doyle, who teams with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) to execute crucial field operations.”
Schroder joins a list of notable newcomers this season, including Chad Lowe (“ER”), Powers Boothe (“Deadwood”), Peter MacNicol (“Ally McBeal”), Regina King (“Ray”), James Cromwell (“Babe”), Kal Penn (“Harold &Kumar”), Marisol Nichols (“In Justice”), Alexander Siddig (“Syriana”), David Hunt (“Everybody Loves Raymond”) and Harry Lennix (“Commander in Chief”).
Emmy nominees Jean Smart and Gregory Itzin are coming back for another day as First Lady Martha Logan and President Charles Logan, while Eric Balfour and Carlo Rota reprise their respective roles as CTU contractors Milo Pressman and Morris O’Brian.
The sixth season kicks off with a two-night, four-hour event from 8 to 10 p.m. Jan. 14 and 15 before entering its regular time slot at 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22 on KCPQ, Channel 13.
