MYKELTI TO BE A REGULAR ON "24"


One of my favorite actors from "Waiting to Exhale," (which came on last night) Mykelti Williamson, is joining Fox's "24" as a regular.

On the upcoming eighth season set in New York, he will play Brian Hastings, the MBA-type head of CTU New York who has a razor-sharp intellect.

Williamson joins fellow new cast members Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Westfeldt, John Boyd and Chris Diamantopoulos.

Williamson recently co-starred in the Sundance hit "Black Dynamite." His series credits include "Boomtown" and "CSI:NY."
