Jack Bauer –
Where in the world do Du start with Jack Bauer? First of all he is the best TV character of all time, barring no one. He suffers tragic loss and extreme pain and torture (as well as inflicting some himself) takes out the bad guys and saves the world from horrific terror attacks, all in 24 hours, time after time! He is very loyal, shows no mercy and looks awesome with a gun and sunglasses. He is a modern superhero who is unforgettable and can always be relied upon to save the day. Plus he’s the one character Du never have to worry about dying, no matter how much danger he’s in. He works at the L.A. Counter Terrorism Unit and is a key member of their team, serving in various positions throughout his career and is close to several people who work there, who can always be relied upon to have his back, when no one else does. His family members include his wife Teri and daughter Kim, both of which unwittingly can become involved in the days’ events.

2. Tony Almeida-
Tony Almeida is a spectacular, tough and yet emotional character, who is tied in my opinion with my Weiter listed character. He is awesome in his own way, but he isn’t as uncaring and sacrificing like Jack. He cares for his family and Friends Mehr than anything and would give up everything to keep them safe. He has been Director of CTU and an experienced agent, who hasn’t always been so lucky in his personal life. Tony is memorable in many ways and Du will find yourself quickly becoming attached to him. Tony may not have always agreed with all of Jack’s methods, but he almost always had his back. Sometimes his personal issues took priority, especially when it concerned those he loves.
Played by: Carlos Bernard
(Also 2.) Chloe O’Brian-
Chloe O’Brian is another amazing character who I Liebe just as much as Tony Almeida (which is why she is tied with him in my opinion). She is a senior data analyst, the best and a total computer whiz. She is also someone Du don’t want to match wits with, because Du will lose, no doubt about that. She is extremely loyal to Jack and would risk everything to help him out, because she knows he’s right. She is remarkable character and although she’s a bit geeky Du will always want her on your side. She was previously married to Morris O’ Brian, who is a perfect match for her. She is known for her grumpy ‘Chloe face’ and is one of the most loyal, most sarcastic characters Du will ever meet.
Played by: Mary Lynn Rajskub (pronounced Rice-Cub).
3. David Palmer
David Palmer is one of the most upright and moral characters who is grateful to Jack and the rest of CTU for saving his life many times. He is loyal to Jack and will always listen to Jack when the CTU agent needs assistance oder wants to give advice. He also has an ambitious and beautiful wife sherry and two children, Keith and Nicole. He is a great guy who Du know will make the right decisions, no matter how tough they can be.
Played by: Dennis Haysbert.
4. Michelle Dessler-
Michelle was introduced in Season 2 as working for CTU and just got better, becoming one of Jack’s closest and most trusted allies as well as one of his closest friends. She eventually married Tony Almeida and both would go through many harrowing circumstances in which they had to make hard decisions for the other and for themselves. She is a beautiful agent who gets the job done and is committed to keeping her country safe, sicher and to stopping the terrorists, even when it involves hard decisions.
Played by: Reiko Aylesworth.
5. Morris O’Brian-
Morris O’Brian is married to Chloe O’Brian and is similar to her in many ways, also being a smart data analyst with sarcasm being a strong point for the both of them. Morris O’Brian is a lovable guy, who might give his superiors a hard time, but is unwavering in his devotion to Chloe, even if he is skeptical of some of Jack’s plans. insgesamt he is a great agent and good comedic relief for when the days become stressful.
Played by: Carlo Rota.
6. Renee Walker-
Although she is introduced later in the show, FBI Special Agent Renee Walker quickly becomes a strong, capable agent Du will never forget. Although she disapproves of Jack’s “the end justifies the means” tactics at first, she eventually goes as far as he does and realizes what needs to be done to keep her country safe, sicher and herself alive. Permanently scarred, she later resurfaces as a broken woman and yet is willing to work a dangerous undercover mission for her country, even if it could mean death for the beautiful redhead. She and Jack have a special relationship and had each other’s backs during the eventful days.
Played by: Annie Wersching.
7. Edgar Stiles-
Edgar Stiles was a lovable tech analyst at CTU who was a big help to Chloe on multiple occasions and became her best friend. In Tag 4 when nuclear plants were melting down and his mother was at risk, he was willing to risk it all for her, being loyal to family and Friends above all and Du know Chloe would always do the same the same for him. Although he was a geek he knew what the right decisions were and Du could always count on him.
Played by: Louis Lombardi.
8. Bill Buchanan
Bill Buchanan may not come in under the best circumstances oder at the best time. But he becomes a great Director and is a good moral compass. He trusts Jack implicitly .

He risks a lot, is committed to making sure his country stays safe, sicher and realizes Jack is usually the answer.
Played by: James Morrison
9. Nina Myers-
Nina Myers was Jack’s most trusted confidante at CTU who was a big help to Jack in the first season and was totally epic in the other seasons she appeared in. She is formidable nemesis to her enemies and a smart, resourceful woman Du don’t want to cross.
Played by: Sarah Clarke.
10. Curtis Manning-
Curtis Manning is a field agent like Jack, introduced midway throughout the series. Like Jack he is resilient and perfectly capable of saving his family, Friends and country, all while killing terrorists who threaten their safety. He was an amazing agent, and although he doubted Jack’s capabilities and was at times jealous of him, but eventually they learned to work together and were a unstoppable team vanquishing terrorists and stopping their diabolical attacks.
Played by: Roger Cross.
11. Kate Morgan-
Kate morgan is my Favorit new character added in 24: Live Another Day, in addition to being the only one to make it on this list. She is also similar to Jack Bauer (she’s a field agent too) and thinks like him. She is a brilliant CIA agent who is dedicated to the truth and her country. It’s so great to watch her and Jack become trusted partners and risk their lives to keep London and their loved ones safe, sicher She has the same great attributes of Renee Walker and Jack Bauer and that’s why I Liebe her.
Played by: Yvonne Strahovski.
12. sherry Palmer-
sherry Palmer is a enigma tough to definitively figure out. This pretty woman is the is the wife of Senator David Palmer and seems to be a supporting wife and mother who had a great touch, excited for her husband’s candidacy for President and perhaps a bit too eager to be first lady. She is a protective mother who cares about her children, Keith and Nicole and will do what she has to to always keep them safe. She really is a unique character who is cool to watch and figure out.
Played by: Penny Jerald Johnson.
13. Wayne Palmer-
Wayne Palmer, brother of David Palmer, first came on the scene in Season 3.He is a somewhat different from his brother, being Mehr reckless and a little Mehr morally flexible. He is a loyal brother to David and will acquiesce to his decisions, whether he likes them oder not. Later on he had some issues, but insgesamt he is a good character and addition to the show.
Played by: D.B. Woodside
14. George Mason-
Somewhat out for himself and being blackmailed frequently, George Mason is a brilliant Director who has a nasty habit of doing the right thing in spite of himself. In the beginning, he is a by-the-book bureaucrat, anti-Jack and generally disapproving of the other agents methods. he becomes Mehr lovable as he goes on with a very satisfying redemption arc. He eventually becoming this great and memorable guy who made grave sacrifices for his country with some help from his fellow agents. One of the best and most emotional scenes ever is when he brings his estranged son John into his office and tells him how sorry he is that he wasn’t always there for him, bringing himself and his son to tears. He also encourages Michelle Dessler to follow her dreams, all while he is serving his country Von trying to prevent terrorist schemes from becoming a reality.
Played by: Xander Berkeley
15. Chase Edmunds-
Chase Edmunds is probably the most underrated 24 character ever. I would describe him as a younger, Mehr level-headed Jack who still gets the job done. Mid way throughout the Zeigen he is Jack’s partner on the field and is a great assistance. He is a strong, determined character and could be compared to Batman’s Robin, who is a little hot-headed at times, just like Chase himself.
Played by: James Badge Dale.
16. Mike Novick-
‘Turtleface’ himself has been around since Season 1 as David Palmer’s campaign manager. He gives sound Guter Rat and is good a being a part of major (and successful) decisions. He is good at diffusing situations and making beneficial decisions for those he serves.
Played by: Jude Ciccolella.
17. Aaron Pierce-
Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce is one of the best. He is conscientious and willing to protect all under his charge, usually at risk to his own life. He also first makes an appearance in Season 1 and is in charge of protecting David Palmer, then later Charles Logan and the Logan family and Olivia Taylor among others, eventually he seems to find happiness, but not before going through hell first. He is the perfect example of the man Du want at your side to keep Du safe.
Played by: Glenn Morshower.
18. Cole Ortiz-
Cole Ortiz is also a late comer, being an agent of CTU New York Season 8 is his first appearance but I think he was a good, engaging character, one to care about, but a little bit of a wild card which always spices things up. He was engaged to co-worker Dana Walsh, a blond agent who went through a lot that day. Cole is a strong, capable agent who although emotional is not to be underestimated and played an important role in the day’s events.
Played by: Freddie Prinze Jr.
19. Audrey Raines-
Audrey Raines is the daughter of Secretary of Defense James Heller who cares an immense amount for Jack and her father. She was a capable and very beautiful woman who assisted CTU when she could. She was good Friends with most of the agents, especially Chloe O’Brian.

20. Kim Bauer-
Kim Bauer, who like Jack makes her own rules, is 24’s own damsel in distress. She starts off in Season 1 Von playing chess with her dad, Jack Bauer, but things start to go south and she goes through a ton of scary things, before her life returns to some semblance of normalness. She cares a lot for people in trouble and will risk everything to help those that she thinks needs it. Sadly with her dad’s turbulent life and her own issues, it is awhile before she can be somewhat happy. Although she can annoy Du at times, I like Kim because she is Jack’s daughter and although she goes through a lot, she comes out on oben, nach oben in the end.
Played by: Elisha Cuthbert
21. Dana Walsh-
Dana Walsh was also introduced in Season 8, She is a senior data analyst at CTU New York and is engaged to field agent Cole Ortiz, a seemingly happy and steady life.

I like her because she is an unpredictable woman, who keeps Du guessing.

First 24 woman president Allison Taylor has her morals. She does not believe in “the end justifies the means” tactics and is not a Fan of Jack Bauer until he proves to be a huge help to her and her family. She will obey the law strictly, no matter the cost and is a woman deserving of the office she serves.
Played by: kirsche Jones.
24. Arlo Glass-
Arlo definitely has major issues, but is a good CTU worker and loyal to it. We meet him in Season 8 with kind of a weird obsession about engaged Dana Walsh, but he quickly shows his worth. He has been the target of Chloe’s sarcasm but is a capable agent, jsut doing his job and helping those around him. A prime example of this is when he was trying to figure out how to help Dana, and making sure Cole could have the information he needed so Cole could help his troubled fiancée. In the end, although Arlo has some really apparent issues, he becomes a great help with unraveling the various problems during the day.
