Exclusive Interview: THE CLOCK STOPS FOR MYKELTI WILLIAMSON ON ’24′ – iFMagazine.com.

On 24, Mykelti (pronounced “Michael T.”) Williamson’s erstwhile CTU director Brian Hastings just got fired from his post in last week’s “8:00 AM-9:00 AM” episode. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Williamson-as-Hastings is gone forever – on 24, so long as you’re known to be alive, or can even be explained to be alive (like Tony Almeida, the stabbed-but-still-active ex-President Logan, or even Jack Bauer himself), there’s always the possibility of a return.

However, since this interview was conducted before Hastings’ on-air dismissal (and 24‘s cancellation), and since the 24 producers really might send Jack Bauer after any actor careless enough to provide untimely spoilers, Williamson doesn’t go into the possibilities of closure or comeback for his character. Here’s what he divulged:

Williamson

Mykelti Williamson and Doug Hutchison are set to begin as series regulars on Kiefer Sutherland’s hit Fox drama, “24.”

According to an article on HollywoodReporter.com, “On the 20th/Imagine series’ upcoming eighth season set in New York, Mykelti Williamson will play Brian Hastings, the MBA-type head of CTU New York who has a razor-sharp intellect.”

Hutchison

Doug Hutchison will play ” Davros, a dangerous European terrorist.”

Other actors who will be joining Williamson and Hutchison include Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jennifer Westfeldt who has guest starred on shows such as ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Private Practice” and CBS’s “Numb3rs,” and Chris Diamantopoulos, who has starred opposite Debra Messing on the USA Network original series, “The Starter Wife,” and the hit CBS psychological thriller, “CSI.”
