The Prinze of 24

Day 8 of TV’s 24 is a-comin’, and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s gonna a be a big part of it.

The actor (pictured at right with Kiefer Sutherland) is set to play Cole Ortiz, the head of field operations for a reconstituted CTU in New York City, where the action takes place in the upcoming season.

“We’ve attempted to call him a young Jack Bauer, but he really is his own character,” said executive producer Howard Gordon, who added that much of Prinze’s storyline will concern his character’s romantic relationship with fellow CTU Dana Walsh (Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff).

“We’ve got a really interesting story to tell with these two,” Gordon said. “What we learn in short order is that she may not be who she says she is, and it has to do with her past, which comes back to haunt her. This wonderful Boy Scout is about to learn that the woman who he’s about to marry – she’s kind of the perfect girl – has secrets.

“In the tradition of 24, work and personal lives don’t mix.”
