Eddie Izzard? James Cromwell? What fresh crack is this?

[sigma7]

Eddie Izzard has joined the cast of 24 for the sixth series.

The English comedian will play the role of Darren McCarthy, described by producers as "a villainous accomplice".

Also joining the cast is James Cromwell. The Babe star takes the part of Jack Bauer's estranged father, Phillip.

The sixth season of the show debuts in January in the US, picking up the storyline 20 months from the end of the fifth series.

Wow. I think I might have to watch this.

Damn him. I must concur. I love Eddie Izzard.

... You know, I thought after seeing the pictures of the bacon-taped cat that my day could not get better, lo these 20 minutes after having woken up.

I see now that I was sadly mistaken, for I think I've broken something internally from sheer excitement and glee.

I go lie back down now.
