So, a guy at work has been following this seasons' 24 pretty closely. I of course opted out for this season, but honestly miss it because I hear people talk about it all the time. Anyway, my coworker noticed that on IMDB you can see the cast listings for each episode of 24... Including future episodes. Spoiler warning - it kind of gives away who is dead and who isn't.
Anyway, looking at a particular future episode, my coworker noticed that Ron Livingston has a part. Many of you might recognize Ron as Peter Gibbons from one of my favorite movies, Office Space.
So, what is Ron's characters name in 24?
Peter Gibbons.
So, it makes me wonder if they're planning to add a little humor in the show. Add Gary Cole (aka Bill Lumbergh) and you could really get a bunch of laughs.
Lumbergh:Hello Peter, what's happening? Listen, are you gonna have those terrorists killed for us this afternoon? Peter Gibbons: No. Bill Lumbergh: Ah. Well then I suppose we should go ahead and have a little talk. Peter Gibbons: Not right now Lumbergh, I'm kinda busy. You know what, in fact I'm gonna have to ask you to just go ahead and come back later, I've got a meeting with Jack in a couple minutes. Bill Lumbergh: I wasn't aware of a meeting with him. Peter Gibbons: Yeah, he called me at home after downloading the TPs coversheet to my PDA. Bill Lumbergh: I see. Oh, and next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day... so, you know, if you want to you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

Too funny.
