Jack Bauer's Getting a Partner for 24

Actor James Badge Dale has been cast in the 24 regular role of Chase, a young CTU agent who ends up working side-by-side with Kiefer Sutherland's character of Jack Bauer. Both Bauer's reaction to having a partner and the duration of the pairing are unknown, as are any other details of Dale's character.

Producers on the hit Fox series have typically been tightlipped about plot details, so it's no surprise they declined comment on the new addition.

Dale, 25, played Simon in 1990's remake of Lord of the Flies.
