FBI Dramas News: "24" Update & SAG Strike Proof Crime Dramas?
24 Gets Super Villain Jon Voight
As a fan of Fox’s TV series 24, I’m ecstatic that Jon Voight has been tapped 
for the upcoming seventh season which begins with a 2 hour Season 7 Prequel on November 23.
The prequel is now being filmed in South Africa, and as was noted, 24 has not seen this type of excitement since Dennis Hopper appeared in Season 1 as a Serbian nationalist.
It’s pretty awesome when A-listers are cast in wildly popular TV series. As a matter of fact, I still have goose bumps from seeing Val Kilmer as Mason Lancer in the FBI drama Numb3rs.
Voight will be the mastermind behind the latest terrorist threat, and play super arch villain to Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer.
SAG Strike…Someone Is Getting Prepared
Speaking of 24, the series is one of the most prepared in case a SAG strike occurs according to Hollywood Reporter. Also, shows that have been in continuous production after the WGA Strike are almost strike proof as they have a good bit of episodes already in the box. Notably, some of those shows are crime and FBI crime dramas: Criminal Minds, Bones, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and CSI: NY.
