24’s Leslie Hope cast as President in NBC’s ‘Revolution’

The NBC breakout post-apocalyptic drama has cast actress Leslie Hope in the role of President Foster — the tough, seasoned leader of the powerful Georgia Federation (which is, presumably, a rival of its aggressive Northern neighbor, The Monroe Republic, where the show’s action has been set during the first half of the season). The role is a multi-episode guest star arc for the second half of the season.

Update: Jon Cassar, former 24 director has posted a photo of him and Leslie on his Instagram account. The two are working together for the first time in eleven years, a nice 24 reunion!
