Sci-fi actors in 24 season 6

I just completed watching the sixt season of 24, it was very good. And I’m not just saying that because lots of sci-fi actors popped up in it :)

UPDATE: You may also want to check out a similar listing for season 7: Sci-fi actors in 24 season 7

I compiled a list of the characters in season 6 of 24 that I’ve also seen in science fiction shows:

James Morrison
24: Bill Buchanan (leader of CTU)
Space: Above and Beyond: Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius McQueen

D.B Woodside
24: President Wayne Palmer
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Principal Robin Wood

William Devane
24: James Heller
Stargate SG-1: President Henry Hayes

Gregory Itzin
24: former president Charles Logan
Star Trek DS9: Ilon Tandro
Star Trek Enterprise: Captain Sopek, Admiral Black

Roger R. Cross
24: Agent Curtis Manning
Star Trek Enterprise: Tret

James Cromwell
24: Phillip Bauer
Star Trek TNG: Prime Minister Nayrok

Also, I thought a FBI agent was played by Star Trek Voyager’s Robert Duncan McNeill, however the FBI agent was played by Scott William Winters, which just happened to look and sound very similar :)

Don’t tell me this could not be the same guy (12 years apart) :)

    hehe, thanks :)
    Yeah, I noticed there where a few more that played very minor parts in shows, but some of these where hard to find pictures of. And I also got a bit tired at the end of making this post ;)

    Thanks for putting the list together, especially with the photos! Right after reading your entry on this, I saw the STNG episode with Glenn Morshower as Orton. :-)
    Ned Vaughn was another STNG/24 actor, but season 4, not 6.

  4. This must have taken a good amount of time to put together- I think it’s an excellent post. How about doing a post showing the “24″ and RoboCop connecion? There may not be as many actors in common, but there are still a decent amount.
