British actor Colin Salmon (007 franchise) has been added to Fox’s event series 24: Live Another Day, which will premiere May 5. The next chapter in the 24 franchise picks up the story four years after the series finale, which left Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as a fugitive from justice, this time in London.

Salmon, repped by by Curtis Brown Group and Lighthouse Entertainment, will play General Coburn, an intelligent, powerful and fiercely loyal man who does not suffer fools no matter what rank. He can be seen opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Little Favour and James Franco in Playtime Capital and has recurred on Strike Back, Law And Order: UK, Some Girls and CW’s Arrow as Walter Steele.
