I know that many of you who were fans of 24 have a hole in your heart or a wound that’s infected now that it’s gone forever. Monday nights won’t be the same without a healthy dose of CTU and counterterrorist activities, 10 explosions, and a dozen maimings and killings, plus Tony Almeda coming back to life each year. You don’t find “leadership” role models for effectiveness, efficiency, and durability like Jack Bauer anywhere.(NOTE: After being whacked on 24 as our President David Palmer, Dennis Haysbert decided to get Allstate insurance before starring in The Unit. Smart move.)
As a tribute to Jack and all of you devoted fans and those of you who didn’t know him, but who read my blogs, I threw together a list of some facts you may not know about our hero gleaned from several Internet sources, plus my own twisted spin. I hope they bring back a few fond memories and a chuckle or 2.
ENJOY!
