President at 24

Tony Award-winning actress Cherry Jones will play President Allison Taylor when 24, the show about the exploits of counter terrorism agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), returns in January for its seventh season, Fox TV announced yesterday.

The series has been an Oval Office groundbreaker before, with Dennis Haysbert playing President David Palmer, the nation's first black president.

Jones, winner of best-actress Tony Awards for The Heiress and Doubt, has appeared in films including Ocean's Twelve and The Perfect Storm and has guest-starred on TV shows including the White House drama The West Wing.

Ouch!
Beau Bridges endured physical pain while filming two My Name Is Earl episodes that won him an Emmy nomination for best guest actor in a comedy series.
