Freddie Prinze Jr. Joins Cast Of ‘24′

Freddie Prinze Jr. is joining the cast of the Fox series 24 as a regular, playing Davis Cole, a recently returned Marine who runs CTU Field Ops (via THR).

The 33-year-old actor will start shooting in New York City soon, where the upcoming eighth season has already started production. Earlier this year, it was reported that Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) will be playing a Middle East leader and Chris Diamantopoulos will take on the role of the president’s new chief of staff.

This project is perfect for Prinze as his pregnant wife Sarah Michelle Gellar is also in town to shoot her new pilot, The Wonderful Maladys.

I love 24. So happy that they are filming now. Season 7 was awesome. I hope that President Taylor and Agent Walker come back.

I haven’t seen him in much but he had a really cute romantic comedy with Monica Potter years back that I liked a lot. 24 is a good show to get stuck with. =)

Adam:

Freddie Prinze is Proud of his Puerto Rican heritage. He has said so himself. As a young boy he spent his summers with his Puerto Rican Grandmother and cousins. He visits the Island frequently and says he wants to film movies over there. I don’t know where you get your info about him.. Freddie is Proud to be Part Puerto Rican
