Voight signs on for villainous role on "24"On the Emmy-winning Fox drama, Voight will play the uber-nemesis of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who is pulling the strings behind next season's terrorist threat. The character will be introduced during 24's two-hour Season 7 prequel and will be featured heavily in the latter half of the season. The prequel, now shooting on location in South Africa, is slated to air November 23, with Season 7 of the series kicking off in January. Voight's role marks the first high-profile villain casting on "24" since Season 1, when Dennis Hopper appeared in the final episodes as Serbian nationalist Victor Drazen. Voight did several TV guest spots early in his career -- including a three-episode stint on "Gunsmoke" in the late '60s -- until his movie career exploded with "Midnight Cowboy" in 1969. A four-time Academy Award nominee, Voight won the best actor Oscar for 1978's "Coming Home." He recently reprised his role as Nicolas Cage's father in "National Treasure: Book of Secrets."

Not a big fan of John Voight (not sure why), but if he is supposed to be a baddie fair enough - I'm sure I will hate him  Just hope he doesn't do a dodgy accent like Dennis Hopper did.

Dennis Hoppers accent was so hilarious! He talks like he has a wet sock in his mouth. It’s just funny to hear him say “Jack Bauer” like “Zhaak Bhhhaaaahhhrrrrr.” | ||

lol, so true! I expected more from Dennis Hopper 
I reckon Voight might be south african - I'm placing my bet! |

Ok, he's a good baddie, but I'm sure I'm ot alone in hating him as an actor in general. MI, Anaconda and Holes are just ruined (not completley) by him. | ||

Never heard of him... off to IMBD I go! | ||

He's a decent actor, I hope he's good in 24 though. | ||
| Josephine Marcus |
Decent? Hmm... I hope he's good cause us fans ain't gonna stand for 'decent' anymore. At least I'm not. | ||

How do you not know who Jon Voight is.
He didn't ruin Mission Impossible. MI was awesome. He was in Transformers as well and that was awesome too. He's also Angelina Jolie's father. |

How about "Collapse zee corridor immeeeeediateeely"... or "he vill commm"... or "ohhhh you consider yourself infoooormed, you've read magazzzines..." Anyway, this line is hardly true: "Voight's role marks the first high-profile villain casting on "24" since Season 1, when Dennis Hopper appeared in the final episodes as Serbian nationalist Victor Drazen." Let's not forget about James Cromwell (Phillip Bauer). Now, back on topic, Voight is a fantastic actor and I think whatever the writers give him will be performed in a great fashion. I like this. |

Yeah I agree with you on Voight. I cannot wait for his appearance on the show. He is a phenomenal actor, and this shouldn't be a waste. |
