24 Rumor: Freddie Prinze Jr. To Replace Kiefer Sutherland As New Jack Bauer In Spin-Off?

News

Rumors have been flying that Freddie Prinze Jr. has been tapped to replace the aging Kiefer Sutherland as the new lead character on 24.

While the rumors did not address whether Prize Jr.’s character on the show, Cole Ortiz, would just replace Jack Bauer in the show or would star in a spin off with Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff), it is now confirmed that these are just whispers and not facts.

Sources say that “There is no way there will be a spinoff with Freddie. “The producers love him,” one mole says, “but it just won’t be happening.”
