Carlos Bernard has signed on to reprise his signature role as Tony Almeida on a recurring basis in Fox’s forthcoming 24: Legacy reboot, TVLine has learned exclusively.
“Tony Almeida is one of the most indelible personalities in the 24 universe, at times loyal and loving, other times an utterly amoral, ruthless mercenary,” said Legacy‘s co-showrunners Manny Coto and Evan Katz in a statement. “Carlos Bernard has done an amazing job portraying this dark and conflicted character, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with his return to the show.”

October 11, 2016 at 9:28 amI think Kiefer coming back may also be a card the network resorts to by mid-season if the ratings are poor coming out of the gate – meaning, we could see a Jack-Tony reunion by the 12th episode. Wouldn’t that fit the sweeps mandate?

October 8, 2016 at 4:05 pmAlthough 24 LAD was a continuation of the Jack Bauer story and thus a continuation of Season 8, it really was a closure on the Season 6 story line or at least all of its main characters (Heller, Audrey, Cheng).
Also I am hoping that Logan and Mandy are brought to justice eventually if 24 Legacy last longer than one season.

October 8, 2016 at 4:25 pmNow we only need chloe ( and of course Jack if Kiefer will agree ).
On how many episode do you think he will be?
I think and hope that more than half.

October 10, 2016 at 1:22 amKiefer has denied there any plans to return as Jack, but maybe it’s all a smokescreen to protect what could be one of the biggest surprises in the show’s history? I mean, characters have returned in the past where they’ve haven’t been credited until the end of the episode (like Tony in Season 4). Could you imagine if they did that with Jack? It’d be insanely exciting.
Marlon
October 10, 2016 at 1:42 amMovie or not, Jack will return at some stage.
When Feb comes around, I will sit back, relax with beer in hand and enjoy 24: Legacy with the knowledge that Tony Almeida has a part to play and see how everything all pans out! and it’s only 12 episodes too so faster paced towards the ultimate cliffhanger

October 10, 2016 at 3:03 amI think the moment he gained a ton of fans was when he defended Jack to Chapelle, saying “you won’t get me to disapprove of a single action he’s taken”.
Marlon
October 10, 2016 at 8:34 pmAlso when he yelled at Jack in Season 3 when waiting for Saunders call at the payphone “you’ve sacrificed your wife for this job, but I’m not willing to sacrifice mine!”

Tony: You never tasted her cooking did you Jack?

October 10, 2016 at 9:40 pmThere are no ‘No Jack, No 24’ posters in this thread
Does this mean that people have changed their minds since Tony Almeida was announced to return?
If so……HAHAHAHAHAHA!
If not, then they’re awfully quiet…

Having Tony Almeida back is awesome. I expect to see Chloe and Kate Morgan back too.

October 17, 2016 at 11:38 pmQuote here-
In fact, if Sutherland were able to revisit one of the characters from his past, he wouldn’t reach too far. “It would be Jack Bauer because I played him for so long… I’ll hold him very close to my heart so if there’s another way, one day down the line to visit that… But my primary focus is on Designated Survivor and I’m hoping we get to do it for a while.”

October 18, 2016 at 1:13 amKevin McNally (the Russian who took Jack by helicopter) and Mykelti Williamson (Head of CTU) were both in 24: Live Another Day. They are both in Designated Survivor too.
I didn’t know until yesterday that Kevin McNally also plays the drunk pirate friend of Jack Sparrow’s in Pirates of the Caribbean
