24 is finally back on the air, which is great, and they've cast some of my favorite actors in supporting roles, which is even better: Sean Astin, obviously, but also Jean Smart (who played Peter Sarsgaard's mom in Garden State), Mark Sheppard (who was my favorite villain from The X-Files) and, wow, Sandrine Holt. To quote distinguished New York Magazine critic John Simon: "Sandrine is the hottest, naughtiest thing on the planet!" Well, fine, John Simon didn't write that. I did. But in his review of Black Robe, Simon did say that Sandrine had "a wonderful toughness under her exquisite exterior," although she was "a trifle too pretty." Yeah, right.
