Others spoke with various people, including Production Designer Joseph A. Hodges later stated in an interview that Director Jon Cassar came up with the idea for the "Fan Phone" because the two of them often got bored scouting new shooting locations and wanted a chance to interact with the audience.
Hodges indicated they received around eighty thousand calls on the line in the first week. There was also a valid California cell phone number in season three, episode three, "Day 3: 3 p.
Roughly twenty-five hours of footage are edited into one episode of the show. Each even numbered season of the series two, four, six, and eight deal with a nuclear threat to the country.
In season three, it's revealed that Jack received an intricate tattoo on the inside of his left forearm as part of his previous deep-cover operation with the Salazar brothers.
Instead of spending several hours in the make-up chair on days when the tattoo needed to be shown, Kiefer Sutherland opted instead simply to get the actual tattoo. Partway through season two, Kiefer Sutherland injured his leg while exiting his trailer, so a small scene was written where Jack Bauer must pull a piece of shrapnel from his leg after a plane crash to explain Sutherland's limp.
Completing an entire season, including pre- and post-production work, took ten and a half months. In season three, whenever Jack goes into the holding facility which houses Salazar, at some point, he is picked up by security cameras. The legend on the video surveillance monitor at the guards' station shows constantly that he is being taped by camera Sean Astin got his part on the show because he and producer Joel Surnow went to the same chiropractor.
The crew tried to keep all the cameras at eye-level to add an extra level of realism. Throughout the series, David Palmer was the only elected U. President to serve out his full term, excluding the unnamed and unseen person who was President during season one. During season two shooting, Elisha Cuthbert was bitten by the mountain lion who menaced her in one of the plotlines.
Before shooting the scene the animal trainer suggested she "meet" the mountain lion before shooting, when she went to pet the mountain lion it bit her hand. She was taken to the hospital, treated for puncture wounds and was given a tetanus shot. Two episodes were filmed simultaneously over a period of fifteen days. Gabriel Macht was originally offered the role of Jack's partner Chase Edmunds, but the producers were so impressed by James Badge Dale 's audition, they offered him the role and promised Gabriel Macht a significant role in the next season.
This never materialized. Kiefer Sutherland said that he has never watched an entire episode of this show. Season one is the only season that takes place over a single day.
All the other seasons run for 24 hours, but the action begins on one day and, as the clock passes midnight, ends on the following day. Ordinarily, when a telephone conversation is shot, only the actor or actress whose end is being shot that day is actually present, with the other character's lines read by a script supervisor to maintain appropriate timing.
But since telephone conversations are so frequent and so vital to the show, the show instead, whenever feasible, had both performers be present for the shooting of a telephone conversation, even though obviously only one was being shot at the time. An example of this technique is available on the season 2 DVD set, as Penny Johnson Jerald is present to provide her lines in a phone conversation with Dennis Haysbert , who was actually being filmed at the time.
Leslie Hope has commented that while she shared relatively little actual screentime with Kiefer Sutherland , she nonetheless felt she had had a rewarding acting experience with him, due to him being present for their many phone call scenes.
Jack was only an official C. Director, in season two his credentials are reinstated after being "inactive" for eighteen months, and in season three as Director of Field Ops. During each of the other seasons, he was "contracted" as a freelance and given temporary clearance; in season four he asked Erin Driscoll to reinstate him on a provisional basis.
With the exception of season seven, as C. Kiefer Sutherland 's first regular role on a television series. In preparation for season seven of this series, the executive producers and staff writers strongly considered moving the action of the story from Los Angeles to New York City.
They felt that Los Angeles had been the target of terrorist attacks too many times in the previous six seasons, and that the location of the drama needed an update. They reasoned that, because the majority of principal photography would still film in Los Angeles, that it would be easier to fake Washington, D. The production made three trips to Washington, D. Seasons one and three were the only ones where no changes to the main cast e. They were also the only two seasons in which each main cast member appeared in every episode of the season.
When the series was continued after the success of the first season, there were plans to abandon the real-time format, and resume with more conventional episode formats i.
However, several series prominents, including main star Kiefer Sutherland , successfully pleaded to keep the real-time format. The show became so popular with college students, it was rumored a drinking game was created, whenever Sutherland spoke Bauer's trademark words "damn it", participants would take turns binge drinking alcohol until the episode ended.
In season two, Tony Almeida's ankle injury was added to the script as Carlos Bernard had really injured his ankle while playing basketball during a break in filming.
In , Freddie Prinze, Jr. Kiefer's rep, in reply told ABC News that despite the actors working together "more than 5 years ago Each episode is supposed to take one hour of real time, but in actuality, due to commercial breaks three minutes are gradually added to the timer during the show in the breaks.

Each episode generally runs for around forty-three minutes without commercials slightly less in PAL territories. Season one is the only season that doesn't feature the President of the United States although David Palmer is elected later on.
In season three, Stephen Saunders demands that the President reveal some classified information, which would then be sent to him via a website. The website he mentioned is SylviaImports. This site was actually registered by Rodney Charters , the show's director of photography and director of a couple of second season episodes. It contained the following text message: "A Big Thank-you from the crew of 24 Thanks for watching, we love making it for you, and yes, we did get picked up for season four.
With the exception of President Daniels and Priesident Keeler, each of the United States Presidents that were married, ended up divorcing their spouses. David Palmer divorced his wife before he took office. Daniels was a widower and neither he nor Palmer ever had a First Lady. Whether or not Keeler had a wife was never mentioned. Kiefer Sutherland has said in many interviews that he is not the star of the show: the time element is. In seasons one and six, there is a C. The story was later made into Stand by Me in which Kiefer Sutherland starred.
In season five, the relationship between President Logan and Christopher Henderson mirrored Jack's relationship with President Palmer; the operative and the politician working together to do what they felt was best for their country.
Henderson and Logan were the polar opposite from Jack and Palmer as far as methods and intentions. Kiefer Sutherland signed on for three more seasons during season five. In season three, a Mexican airplane appears briefly during Salazar and Bauer's landing on Mexican ground. The logo on its side reads "Aeromexicana".
The name is comprised of Mexico's two largest airlines "Aeromexico" and "Mexicana". If a prominent character died in an episode, the writers and producers chose to end with a silent countdown of remaining seconds of the clock to honor their memory. Nina Myers' fake passport shows Sarah Clarke 's own married name Sarah Berkeley , but not her birthday, which is in the passport shows Martha Logan is the only U.
First Lady depicted on the show. The season six plotline involving hostiles taking over C. Omid Abtahi is one of three actors to return to 24 as a another character. He's "Safa" in Day 4: p.

Jean Smart was eventually cast as Mrs. In a subsequent interview, Atkinson said that her audition for the role of Martha Logan had gone well, but that Jean Smart was perfect for the part.
In addition, she felt a stronger connection to her role as Karen Hayes. Excluding Live Another Day, a fan on the internet calculated Jack Bauer has spoken the phrase "damn it" one hundred forty-four times throughout the series. Reiko Aylesworth originally auditioned for the role of Nina Myers, as well as the role of Kate Warner in season two. The character she landed Michelle Dessler, ended up with. Much more important role in the series than both of the other characters she auditioned for.
Harris Yulin , who played the recurring character of N. Director Roger Stanton in season two, is not credited at all in the opening or ending credits. All recurring and guest stars have to share their credits on--screen with one or two other actors, but Yulin wanted to appear alone on them.
