Annie Wersching’s latest mission: Motherhood.

The 24 actress, 33, gave birth to her first child with husband Stephen Full Sunday at 4:46 PM in Los Angeles.

Baby Freddie (middle name: Wersching) Full, who weighs 7 lbs., 15 oz., and is 18 inches long, is quite the stunner and shares mom’s hair. “He has a full head of hair and is very calm and sweet and adorable,” Wersching tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We are all feeling great!”

Wersching, who played agent Renee Walker opposite Kiefer Sutherland on the Fox show, debuted her baby bump in May at the series finale party in Los Angeles.

The actress and Full, an actor and comedian of Disney’s I’m in the Band fame, married at their Los Angeles home in September 2009.

Annie Wersching has admitted that she was surprised by the reaction to her character’s death in 24.

Wersching played Renee Walker, who was shot in a recent episode shortly after sleeping with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland).

“The reaction’s been pretty intense,” she told TV Guide. “You know, fans are really upset and sad.”

She added: “[The producers] came to me before this season, so I knew it was coming. But I’m very happy to be able to not have to keep it a secret any more, because I shot this last episode at Christmas time.”

Wersching joked that she wants people to focus more on her sex scene with Sutherland.

“It was very cool,” she said. “It’s kind of getting overshadowed by the fact that Renee died. I kind of wish that had its own special episode, because that’s a pretty big deal that Jack Bauer finally – you know.”

Wersching also revealed that viewers will enjoy watching the way Jack deals with Renee’s death.

“Fans are very sad to see Renee go, but I think they’ll be very happy to see what it turns Jack into,” she said. “I mean, obviously, he’s going to go very Jack Bauer.”

Motherhood beckons as ’24′ actress Annie Wersching comes to the end of her lines.

Maybe it’s not surprising that on Fox‘s action drama “24,” which is known for its high body count, a number of people have begged for their lives.

Except these aren’t characters on the show. These are the actors who play the characters, after executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon has told them their storyline is about to end.

Annie Wersching says she wasn’t one of them – even though last Monday’s death of her character, Renee Walker, was probably the most shattering in the whole series for Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), the show’s long-suffering hero.

“I was sad and I was upset,” says Wersching. “But these are the moments that make ’24′ what it is.”

SPOILER ALERT! 24’s Latest Victim Talks About Clocking Out – PEOPLE TV Watch.

Time’s up for yet another pivotal cast member on 24.

In a shocking twist on the show’s April 12 episode, former FBI agent Renee Walker — played by Annie Wersching — was killed by sniper fire shortly after a love scene with Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer.

“I’ve known since the beginning of the season that this is what they wanted to do,” Wersching tells PEOPLE. “They really wanted Jack and Renee to get really serious in as much as you can in a show where you are trying to save the world at the same time. They wanted him to be in a good place with her and have that happen to her and have that be the catalyst to send him off completely on a bloodbath!”

In the end, Wersching was more nervous about her love scene than her death scene. “The actual filming of those days were kind of masked because Kiefer and I had to shoot this love scene. I was nervous enough about that, that I was like, ‘I get shot? Big deal! How I am going to deal with this part?’”

Adding to the onscreen drama, Wersching, 33, learned that she was pregnant with her first child the day after filming her two-day love-and-death arc. But since she filmed those scenes back in December, she’s had to hide the fact she knew Walker’s fate early on. “The big question is, ‘Well, what was it like running with a gun while you had morning sickness?’” says Wersching, who married actor Stephen Full last September. “And I was like, ‘Uh, yeah, that was hard. That was really hard!’”

Also tough was finding out last month 24 would end its run after its eighth season. “As an actor, I know roles go away,” she says. “You get another job. But as a fan, I’m just sad we won’t keep learning about what keeps happening in Jacks life and Chloe’s life. I’m sad that in the theoretical world of what keeps happening to them, that Renee isn’t off doing something is very sad.”

So what’s next for Wersching, who is due in August? The actress originally auditioned for a few fall TV pilots but says, “I was honest in that, ‘I would love to do your show, but I’m going to have a baby probably in the middle of when you’re going to start shooting!’ So … I’m taking it easy.” – Cynthia Wang

24′s Annie Wersching: Renee’s Death Will Make Jack Spiral Out of Control.

Oh no, 24 didn’t. In the final moments of this week’s episode, the show killed off Renee Walker (Annie Wersching) just seconds after she and Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) consummated their relationship. TVGuide.com sat down with Wersching, who’s showing a little baby bump, to discuss the aftermath of Renee’s death, the emotion of being Jack’s final love on the series and what’s next for her career.

24: Jack Bauer will survive to the end of the series

TVGuide.com: When did you know that Renee was going to be killed off?
Wersching: I knew before Season 8 started. One thing the producers knew was that Jack and Renee were eventually going to get together, then he was going to lose her, and that would be the impetus for him to go all kinds of crazy to the point where he’s just covered in blood.

TVGuide.com: Were you sad when you found out she was going to die?
Wersching: I’m a huge 24-head and have watched every episode of every season. I thought, “Oh, bummer,” but a cool a– death on 24 is like a big moment that you remember years later, so I knew it would have a big impact. When I learned that it was in Episode 17, I found out from a director who was like, “Oh I just read Episode 17 and you get it and then you get it.” I was very emotional that night.

What is your Favorite 24 moment?

TVGuide.com: What makes the relationship between Jack and Renee different than the ones he’s had in other seasons?
Wersching: In not knowing each other for that long, they are very similar and understood each other in a lot of ways. No one truly understood what it is to exist as someone who has to do the things that Jack Bauer does. Renee is as close as he was going to get to finding someone that really got him, and vice versa.

TVGuide.com: Renee is the only woman to have sex with Jack Bauer on TV. How was shooting the scene like for you and Kiefer?
Wersching: It was definitely scary. He was like, “I’ve been asked to do this one other time in my career when I was 18, and they never asked me again.” It was a big decision for him to commit to whether or not he really wanted to do it. There was also the option of starting to and having her be shot. It was all about the logistics of getting a shirt on him for when he takes her to the hospital; it was bad enough he was barefoot. They wanted it to be that we were just pausing for a second and were going to go back.

TVGuide.com: How will this affect Jack in the final episodes of the series?
Wersching: Poor Jack cannot get a break. As you can imagine, he wants to take care of every single person who was involved with this … I’m so sad that I died, but she’s very much still there in these last episodes all the way up until the end. For the most part, he goes rogue and wants to do things that people don’t want him to do. Of course, he’s Jack Bauer, so he finds a way to do them.

TVGuide.com: There is a fine line between justice and revenge, though.
Wersching: Definitely. He’s in a scary place for what that line is in these last episodes. He’s a tragic hero. To be the one that makes him freak out in the final run of 24 is a pretty amazing role to have.

TVGuide.com: So what’s next for you now that you’re done with 24?
Wersching: I’m going to bring this little life into the world in August. You never know what happens when you have a kid, but I love to work, so I imagine I’ll be out there trying to see what’s next as quickly as possible.

TV Guide Magazine | News | Annie Wersching on 24′s Shocking Death.

It was the shocker of shockers for 24 fans. As soon as Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and Renee Walker (Annie Wersching) wrapped their hot love scene in the April 12 episode, Agent Walker took a sniper’s deadly bullet. A little more cuddling might have been nicer, Wersching tells TVGuideMagazine.com.

What a way to go, huh?
Right? It was so sad because Jack and Renee were finally in a good emotional place after so much turmoil. It was almost like, ‘Look what could have been.’ They had taught each other so much and now…she’s gone.

Was it emotional for you personally?
Are you kidding? I knew it was coming from before the season began, but I was bawling after and then I bawled again when I watched the episode. It wasn’t about losing a job or anything. I just really felt sad for Renee and Jack even though I know they’re just characters. At one point, I looked over at my friends with tears in my eyes and went, ‘Hey, does this make me a crazy person?’”

What kind of day-after reaction did you get from fans.
Oh, my gosh! More than I could have ever imagine. That night there were hundreds and hundreds of messages online from fans. The first slew of them was just like, “NOOOOOOO!” All caps and lots of expletives. Then people told me they were crying. Even men said, ‘I can’t believe it. I never cried watching TV but this did it.’ Other people were pissed.

That episode was a good one. What was it like to do the love scene with Kiefer?
Absolutely and completely terrifying and awkward for both of us. It made me feel better Kiefer was as scared as I was. But it was extremely tough. You hear about how awkward these things are, but this one was extreme. Only a tiny portion of it aired but we spent the entire day making out on camera. It’s just so bizarre making out with one of your best friends.

Will there be a 24: Uncut DVD or something?
[laughs] Gosh, in a way I hope so. I had gone to the gym for a bunch of weeks beforehand and we were really proud of the scene. Let’s put it this way. Somebody has the footage somewhere so I’m sure it might see the light of day at some point.

Then you find out the next day that you’re pregnant in real life?
Yes. No relation, of course. [Wersching, 33, married actor Stephen Full last year]. The baby is due in August and I’ll always remember having morning sickness while carrying a gun.

What’s next for you?
Being a mom for the moment. I didn’t want to start another show knowing I’d have to hide my pregnancy, so I don’t have anything lined up right now. But I can’t wait to see what other kinds of butt-kicking roles come my way because of Renee. I’ll really miss her.
