Audrey smiles. She's about the only one. I can't even remember seeing Kim smile. Anywho, am I the only nerd that recognizes the VP on 24 as the prez of the U.S. in Command and Conquer, Red Alert, the videogame?

You're talking about Ray Wise, best known for playing Leleand Palmer (Laura Palmer's father) on Twin Peaks. He plays the VICE President on 24, and the President in C&C: RA.

Monday Bump, and more Jack Bauer Facts

Jeopardy was a regular quiz show until Jack Bauer told Alex Trebek, "I'll be the one asking questions around here."

Jack Bauer often stands in front of his microwave and yells "WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME" while waiting for his Top Ramen to cook.

If Jack Bauer smoked cigarettes, even the Surgeon General would be selling them to teenagers.

Vegas takes no odds on Jack Bauer versus a terrorist. The chance of the terrorist dying is always 100%.

When women are around Jack Bauer, they don't menstruate - out of fear.

Jack Bauer refused the Godfathers offer.

In season 2, Jack told Kim to shoot Gary in the chest. He still hasn't forgiven himself for not being there to see her first kill.

Jack Bauer never reloads.....ever

Sprint cellphone sales skyrocketed after Jack Bauer showed people how to use them to blow up terrorists.

Marines are often refered to as Alpha Company because they begin things. Jack Bauer is known as Omega Company because he ends them.

The only reason Jack Bauer didn't stop 9/11 was that Edgar didn't open up a port.
(and we know what happened to Edgar...)

Season 5 of 24 will end on hour twenty-three. Hour twenty-four will be devoted to Jack Bauer torturing Henderson to death.

Sleeping with Jack Bauer has been listed as an STD by the CDC. The risks include death and death to those closest to you.

When Kim Bauer was a little girl, Jack Bauer did not sing her any lullabies. Jack Bauer choked her to sleep.

Jack Bauer can ride shotgun in the driver's seat.

Jack Bauer once knocked out an FBI agent and borrowed his clothes to infiltrate a building. When the man was revived, he passed out again due to the sheer thought of Jack Bauer wearing his clothes.

In one episode, there was an assassin who had the ability to throw Jack Bauer to the ground and break his rib. I hate how unrealistic 24 is sometimes.

The playoffs once went into overtime before the season premiere of 24. It was sudden death overtime because Jack Bauer went there and shot all the players. No one preempts Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer makes his own clothes out of the stomach lining of former terrorists.

It only took 3 minutes for Jack Bauer to find out Victoria's secret.

Osama Bin Laden hides under the covers in his bedroom every Monday night from 9 to 10 and cries.

CTU was blown up in the second season of "24", but luckily, Jack Bauer was there to fix it simply by applying a piece of gum that he'd been chewing on.

Jack Bauer won the Indy 500 in a Ford Explorer.

There isn't anything Jack Bauer can't take down with only a handgun, including helicopters.

Jack Bauer once killed a room full of people because nobody blessed him when he sneezed.

On the sixth day, God said "Let there be no Jack Bauer." On the seventh day, God was tortured.

There is a theory that says if a werewolf bites Jack Bauer, then every full moon it will turn into a "were-Bauer" and kill terrorists uncontrollably. This is only a theory of course, because no werewolf has succeeded in biting him. Neither have Vampires, Lizardmen or mosquitoes.

Jack didn't shoot Ira Gaines because he was pulling a gun on him. Jack shot him because he said "good luck", which implied the possibility of failure.

Whenever Jack Bauer, Tony Almeida and David Palmer are all
in Los Angeles at the same time, something goes wrong.

Chuck Norris once sent Jack Bauer a Total Gym. Jack promptly returned it with the bullet-ridden corpse of a terrorist, as well as a note that had been stapled to the man's chest. It read, "This is what I do to workout."

One man once said that Jack Bauer's IQ was "24." He was found the next day with a towels each shoved up his ass and mouth.

Jack Bauer remembers the Alamo.

Snapple is a ****ing liar. Jack Bauer is the only thing made from the best stuff on Earth.

One time Jack Bauer was asked to bring a known terrorist back to CTU for questioning. After being gone for three hours, Jack returned covered in blood and carrying a six foot party sub, which he then ate all by himself in a single sitting.

After having sex with your wife, apologize for not being Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer doesn't think the Amazing Race is so amazing. He done that 4 times already. In 24 hours.

Jack Bauer is disqualified from ever appearing on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" because he can answer all the questions without using a lifeline. Jack Bauer IS the lifeline.

Who is Jack Bauer?


Bauer graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature from UCLA, and a master's degree in criminology and law from UC Berkeley.

After finishing university, he worked as a Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team member, and in the U.S. Army's elite Delta Force. Apparently, Bauer also did fieldwork for the Central Intelligence Agency before being seconded to the Counter Terrorist Unit.

Bauer held the position of Special Agent in Charge of CTU Los Angeles during the attempted assassination of Senator David Palmer. During that day, Bauer's wife Teri and his daughter Kim were kidnapped by Victor Drazen, a man Bauer thought he had killed in a covert mission called Operation Nightfall in Kosovo two years earlier. Bauer's colleague/former love interest Nina Myers (who turned out to be a traitor) killed Teri Bauer before being arrested. Jack was so distraught over Teri's death that he resigned as CTU Special Agent in Charge and became an inactive CTU agent.

Eighteen months later, Bauer was called back to duty by President Palmer to help CTU stop a terrorist group known as Second Wave from detonating a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. After the incidents depicted in Season 2, Jack was appointed Director of Field Operations by new CTU Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Tony Almeida.

However, Tony was removed from CTU three years later after committing an act of treason to save his wife's life, and Jack was forced to leave the institution and became employed by the Department of Defense. Bauer became involved with the daughter of the Secretary of Defense, Audrey Raines, and it was apparently a serious relationship. However, after Jack was called back to CTU in Season 4 to help them stop a series of attacks against the United States masterminded by a terrorist named Habib Marwan, Audrey decided that she could not handle Jack's life when he was working for CTU, and the two of them separated.

Hard to believe the world didn't end with the two of them on the same squad.
