After watching Crank last night (which was ok, but not the best film), I realized that should they decide at some point to kill off Jack Bauer but continue creating new seasons of 24, Jason Statham could be an adequate replacement for the role. I’m not saying I want to see Jack Bauer die, or Kiefer relinquish the role, but there’s only so many more bad days Jack can have before he either retires or dies. Right now it would be a huge mistake because it would hurt the show’s ratings, but down the road if Kiefer decides he no longer wants to work 16 hour days 6 days a week anymore, I could stomach watching Mr. Statham take a stab at it. I really couldn’t imagine anyone else even making an attempt. What do you think?

He’d be interesting. But have you seen Lou Diamond Phillips in a few random episodes of NUMB3RS? He should come on as CTU agent at some point. Not a replacement for Jack, but a partner perhaps. Doc and Chavez, together again!
