Rick Schroder Joins Cast of 24

Ricky Schroder, of "Silver Spoons" fame, will join the cast of 24 for the show's 6th season. He'll be playing a CTU Agent who, presumably, helps out Jack Bauer. But, you never know. He could be a mole, or just a big jerk. Given Schroder's pedigree, I'd bet that he plays a stand-up guy. However, 24 has been good about playing actors against type.

Ricky (or as he likes to be called these days, "Rick") has led a pretty interesting career. First "Silver Spoons" (with the great Alfonso Ribeiro), then a stint on "NYPD Blue", then a few guest starring roles here and there (Scrubs). This addition of Schroder only adds to the impressive list of cast members for the 6th season of 24. Here is a partial list of that cast and what I consider to be their claim to fame.Peter MacNicol: As the creepy bad guy in "Ghostbusters 2".

Powers Boothe: Cy Tolliver in "Deadwood". Regina King: The most underrated African-American actress of her generation. She's been in everything. Look at her IMBD page.

Chad Lowe: Used to have a Sugar Mama named Hilary Swank.

James Cromwell: "That'll do, pig. That'll do."

Kal Penn: Kumar, obviously.
