Blackfilm.com has been given an exclusive look at Star Wars’ newest cast member John Boyega, who has a recurring role on Fox’s “24: Live Another Day.”
Premiering on May 5, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), as he attempts to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.
Tracking Jack are CIA head STEVE HARRIS (Benjamin Bratt); CIA agent KATE MORGAN (Yvonne Strahovski), who is both resourceful and ruthless; JORDAN REED (Giles Matthey), a smart and sophisticated CIA computer tech; and ERIK RITTER (Gbenga Akinnagbe), a sharp, strong and arrogant field operative. Calling the shots is JAMES HELLER (William Devane), now President of the United States.
Heller is flanked by his Chief of Staff MARK BOUDREAU (Tate Donovan), who is married to Heller’s daughter — Jack’s former flame, AUDREY (Kim Raver). Meanwhile, a hardened CHLOE O’BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), Bauer’s CTU confidante, is now working underground with high-profile hacker ADRIAN CROSS (Michael Wincott).
Boyega plays Air Force Lt. Chris Tanner, a computer tech who flies drones for the military.
Best known for his role in Joe Cornish’s Attack The Block, Boyega is in hot demand these days, having landed a coveted spot opposite Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill in the J.J. Abrams’ upcoming sci-fi blockbuster, Star Wars Episode VII. He will soon be seen opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton in ‘Half of a Yellow Sun.’ He also starred in the 2014 Sundance film, ‘Imperial Dreams,’ which won the Audience Award.
For behind-the-scenes clips and interviews with the cast tune-in to “Jack is Back: 24” and “The Stars of 24: The Interviews,” which airs on May 5th at 7:00pm and 7:30pm ET/PT on the Drama on Pluto Channel 401: https://pluto.tv/#!&awesm=~oCQRVdUZcb4dwX&channel=dramaonpluto.
