Bauer Griffin

Actress-comedian Janeane Garofalo is set to co-star on Fox’s real-time drama “24″ this coming season.

On the Imagine TV/20th Century Fox TV series, Garofalo will play a government agent who is part of the team investigating the crisis befalling Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and company.

Garofalo is the second major cast addition to the action drama, which is going through a major revamping coming off a lackluster sixth season. Cherry Jones was hired last month to play the new president.

After two production delays related to major changes to the story line, “24″ is now slated to begin production on its seventh season Sept. 10.
