24- Underappreciated Characters

This may seem rather out of the blue, but I felt a sudden need to put to pen my opinions on

this very important matter. So here we go.

Over four seasons, Fox Television's stellar show 24 has created riviting stories, giving every

minute the potential to change the story. However, it is the characters that make the show so

irresistable. From Tony to Milo to season five's Graham, 24 has a lot to brag about in terms of

character depth and plain coolness. Unfortunately for the show, some of the best characters are

forgotten by fans. Here's a look at some of the underappreciated characters of 24.

Ira Gaines


Gaines is a hilarious villian. Although he really doesn't do very much to move the story forward (aside from kidnapping Jack's wife Terry and Daughter Kim) there is something funny about his name. "Gaines" is so simple for a name, and not a very well chosen one. Awesomeness-6/10



Alan Milliken

Alan is perhaps the most awesome of forgotten characters. He not only has a very cool role as David Palmer's campaign backer, but Milliken's part enjoys one of my favorite 24 lines. His "Fire Wayne, David, and this all goes away," was one of few highlights in the Presidential plot line of season 3. If only Sherry had given him that prescription bottle...
Awesomeness- 9.5/10




Lastly, I can't leave out Ryan Chappelle. He may not be the most popular character on 24, but to me he's one of the best. Blessed with such lines as "I want that baby out of here!" and "Chloe's a pain in the ass," Chappelle adds meat to the bone of 24. He didn't have a good exit from the show, but overall Chappelle is a great additon to the"drama."
Awesomeness- 8.5/10


These are a few of many cool guys and girls on 24. And if my instinct is right, there will be many more funny, cool, and just plain awesome characters in Season 6 of 24.
