I'm not quite sure how this works, but Kristin has revealed that Paul McCrane will play Jack's brother on 24. The reason why I'm not sure how, is because we've already seen Paul as some kind of bad guy (Graham) last season. Graham's family will be met during the course of the day, including his wife (Marilyn, played by Rena Sofer) and son. Graham first appeared in Episode 19 of Day 5 of 24. Graham is introduced as the leader of a group that orchestrated the Sentox Nerve Gas conspiracy, as well as the murder of David Palmer
James Cromwell (who will probably kill me for saying he's famous for playing Dr. Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact, and the farmer in Babe - well he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor) will also be seen playing Jack's father (Phillip Bauer). Talking of Star Trek, Alexander Siddig is meant to play Hamri Al-Assad, one of the "Evildoers Behind the Big Season 6 plot".
A 10 minute prequel for season 6 is available on the season 5 DVD (only in America? I only have 1-4 on R2 DVD), and FOX will release a "Season 6 Premiere" DVD on January 16 in the United States and Canada. The DVD will include all 4 opening episodes and a twelve minute preview to the fifth episode. Although I suspect most people will prefer to watch the HDTV broadcast, which will be a higher resolution. For those of you interested in teaser trailers, try this site, and here's a short clip of Jack and Graham.
Eddie Izzard was announced to appear on the show as villain Darren McCarthy but was later replaced by David Hunt after scheduling conflicts, after only one day of filming. :( Stephen Merchant will make a cameo appearance in the premiere, his writing partner Ricky Gervais has recorded a spoof.
