Jimmy Smits joining 24: Legacy

Jimmy Smits is joining, 24: Legacy, the rebooted 24 starring Corey Hawkins.

He will play John Donovan, a powerful US Senator with higher political aspirations, who is married to Rebecca (Miranda Otto), the former head of CTU.

Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton) stars as military hero Eric Carter, who returns to the US and finds that trouble has followed him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil. Teddy Sears features as head of CTU.

24: Legacy has 24‘s Howard Gordon, Manny Coto, Evan Katz and Brian Grazer on board as executive producers for its pilot, but Kiefer Sutherland has no association.
