24 prez wanted to be a hero; producers said "nope"

by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 24th 2006 9:07PM

Gregory ItzinGregory Itzin, who plays President Logan on 24, wanted the character to be a hero and a good guy. Producers even asked him what he would like to see happen to the character and he told them. But then they, um, didn't listen to him.

He even admits, in this TV Guide interview, to being "devastated" and "depressed" by the plot twist. There's also a phone number on the set where fans can actually call and perhaps talk to cast members (I know, you 24 fans probably already know about the phone, but still, the number is 310-597-3781).

I'm glad the producers shot Itzin down. Otherwise, we would still be groaning everytime Logan the moron was onscreen. Plus, this was the best plot twist in the show's history IMHO.

Tsorrels, I always thought he looked like Nixon too!! And I agree with Sam, Itzin is an excellent bad guy.

This guy would have to be up there on my list of characters I love to hate.

Okay, I have a mission in life now. I shall call the '800' number , talk to Greg Itzin, and let him know that I think he's tops as an evil prez. He was cool as an imbecile president also, IMHO.
