Dear Jack Bauer, Your Dad's a Nerd

Dear Jack Bauer, protagonist of the hit show 24:

While you might have harbored the delusion that you are the progeny of actor Donald Sutherland, here's news for you, Kiefer: your real dad (and by real dad, I mean "fake dad on the show") is James ("Jamie") Cromwell, Sure, people know him from "Six Feet Under" and "L.A. Confidential," but if you go back further, before Dr. Greene's brain tumor on ER, you'll find a little movie called "Revenge of the Nerds," in which Cromwell played Mr. Skolnick, fathernerd to the central nerd character Robert Carradine.

This means he's probably really good at computers and could help Chloe in case her character gets, um, permanently downsized. Just thought you should know.

Tell Dr. Romano we say hi.

Love,
CTU

Lest we forget his oscar worthy performance in Babe!

And don't forget his performance as Dr. Zephram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact. He invented warp drive, making it possible for humans to achieve faster-than-light space travel.

Now that's nerdy...
