The Hollywood Reporter says that Jennifer Westfeldt and John Boyd have joined the cast of Fox’s “24.”
On the upcoming eighth season, to be set in New York, Kissing Jessica Stein star Westfeldt will play the recurring role of Meredith Reed, an ambitious journalist with ties to Arman Hashemi (Anil Kapoor), a Middle East leader who comes to the U.S. on a peacemaking mission.
Boyd (The Notorious Bettie Page) will be a regular on the 20th TV/Imagine series, playing CTU systems analyst Jonah Schwartz.
Westfeldt and Boyd join previously-cast Kapoor and Chris Diamantopoulos as the “24” producers are filling nine major new roles for Season 8, slated to begin production today.
