    About this Episode

    We are honored to welcome our guest Eric Balfour, who joins us to discuss 20 Years Of 24. We talk about the thrill of fatherhood, creative entrepreneurship, and the importance of carefully choosing comfortable clothes for the set of 24!

    Eric shares his unique perspective of being a member of the original cast, and then returning to race the clock once more...

    And I cannot believe I forgot to mention Skyline, a personal favorite!

    Marisol Nichols (aka "Nadia Yassir") - "My Goal Was Just To Not Be Killed."

    Marisol Nichols (aka "Nadia Yassir") - "My Goal Was Just To Not Be Killed."
    To paraphrase the iconic band that glorified tribute act Greta von Fleet claims they've never listened to, "It's been a long time since we talked 24." Gosh, we missed you.

    For our Season 2 renewal, we needed a very special guest for a very special episode. Marisol Nichols exceeded all expectations and talked about how she thought 24 would never cast her, being the most unique Audrey Griswold, how she has moved into producing, and working with everyone from SNL's Chevy Chase and Chris Rock, the narrator of "Go The F To Sleep", Dick Van Dyke and the Molly Ringwald on Riverdale. We also delve into The Marisol Nichols Podcast and how she is using her gifts to help the authorities rescue people from sex trafficking.

    You know, typical actor stuff.

    Nazneen Contractor (aka "Kayla Hassan") - "You Can Do It, But Make Sure You Love It."
    It was a joy to speak with our guest Nazneen Contractor about a great many things, including the recent renewal of her CTV show, Children Ruin Everything and its family connection!

    We also cover how she simultaneously was cast on 24 and learned to drive, Hallmarkies, being married to Yakavetta, advice from Mark Hamill and then the Star Wars universe and, of course, the Canadian Conspiracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mPsnV0TDt8

    Mara Reinstein and Frank Reinstein - "Excuse Me. Are You The One Who Stumped The Booey?"

    Mara Reinstein and Frank Reinstein - "Excuse Me. Are You The One Who Stumped The Booey?"
    It is amazing who you will meet in the 24 Universe! Twin siblings Frank and Mara grew up less than 30 minutes from me, but it took Jack Bauer and the holy grail of VHS tapes to bring us together.

    Joined by Aaron, the fearless leader of the 24 Universe, we talk about the Motor City, meeting Kiefer, Us Weekly, baseball stadiums, playing music on Sirius XM, following your passion and how our guests used their WonderTwin powers to successfully Stump The Booey on the Howard Stern Show!

    Can't wait to catch up in Detroit!

    Laura Harris (aka "Marie Warner") - "That Tear Was True Love...It Was Just Inconvenient Timing."

    Laura Harris (aka "Marie Warner") - "That Tear Was True Love...It Was Just Inconvenient Timing."
    To paraphrase GnR, "she used to love him, but she had to kill him".

    There are a handful of truly great twists and shocks on 24. The tale of Marie Warner is easily in my Top 5 of the series. And this wasn't even the first time she fooled me!

    It was a thrill to reunite Laura with her "sister" Sarah Wynter in November, and we get to hear how they kinda became sisters beyond the show. We also talk about that tear, The Faculty, Dead Like Me and her incredible pivot into Social Ecology and Humane Tech.

    She may be one of the few people on 24 to actually understand the technology that, at the time, the show was making up.

    Enjoy our delightful conversation with the other Warner Sister!

    Joseph Hodges (Production Designer) - "Here Comes Mr. Eagle Eye Hodges!"
    When you admire CTU, the Presidential Retreat and the overall look and feel of 24, you have Joseph Hodges to thank.

    Joseph shares the inspiration of his set designs and the importance of the word "re-purposing"! In addition to 24, you have seen his work everywhere from Apollo 13, The Shawshank Redemption, Virtuosity and several Star Trek iterations.

    Gamers, including us, also appreciate his contribution to Need For Speed: Undercover.

    Joseph was an engaging guest, both on the podcast and at the 24 Convention in November!

    David Fury (Executive Producer, Writer) - “I’m Putting On The Production In My Mind.”

    David Fury (Executive Producer, Writer) - “I’m Putting On The Production In My Mind.”
    Guest and Emmy-Award winner David Fury gave us yet another chance to geek out - not only about our favorite show, but also about his roles with Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and graduating from Lost after its groundbreaking first year to join the 24 team.

    David talks about collaborating with Howard Gordon and how that led him to 24, the value that he brought as a comedy writer and an actor, and shares the story behind my favorite Buffy episode!

    All in all, a fantastic conversation about the importance of the writer in driving the pulse of a story.

    Kiefer Sutherland - 20 Years Of 24 Convention - "The Following Takes Place Between 5 PM And 6 PM"
    We thought that the best way to celebrate the release date of Bloor Street was to unleash the audio interview with our esteemed guest Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland, also known as Jack Bauer.

    This is taken from the exclusive 20 Years Of 24 event, which took place on the 20th anniversary of the 24 Pilot.

    1. Listen and enjoy.

    Karina Arroyave (aka "Jamey Farrell") - "That Was The First Time I Worked With Kiefer!"

    Karina Arroyave (aka "Jamey Farrell") - "That Was The First Time I Worked With Kiefer!"
    A real thrill to talk to Karina about her role on 24, as well as Orange Is The New Black, Dangerous Minds, Crash and Lean On Me, and the movie set where she met Kiefer Sutherland for the first time!

    When Canada got cable TV, she was on my screen several times a day, and you can find her now on NBC's The Blacklist.

    Karina brought her A-Game to the podcast, and we are honored that we spent the time catching up with her.

    Debi Manwiller (Casting Director) - “It Was Like Putting A Puzzle Together Of A Piece Of The Sky.”

    Debi Manwiller (Casting Director) - “It Was Like Putting A Puzzle Together Of A Piece Of The Sky.”
    If you are a big fan of 24, a lot of your thanks can go to Debi Manwiller!

    Debi's ability to find talent is a key component of the 24 Universe. I frequently compare 24 to Seinfeld, because the more you re-watch each show, the more you recognize faces and names that are now leading shows, directing film and changing the landscape.

    We talk about massively turning over the cast each year, helping them with the tech jargon, the 24 character named after her daughter and which of her films drew the biggest laugh from her when I mentioned it! And Debi has a contagious laugh.
