The producers of 24 have turned down some pretty big names, including Aniston and Ben Stiller.
Starpulse:
Jennifer Aniston has been snubbed in her bid to land a guest spot on her favorite TV drama 24. The star reportedly put her name forward for a part in the show but producers turned her down flat - because she's "too recognizable."Executive producer Joel Surnow says, "You can't put those people on (the show) because they're too recognizable. They'll take you (viewers) out of the reality."
Aniston wasn't the only big name to be turned down for a role in "24" by producers - funnyman Ben Stiller was also deemed too famous for the show, according to TV Guide
I wonder if JoBeth Williams read this and was pissed off. Did she call Joel Surnow and was all "Asshole, I was in Poltergeist..." (JoBeth Williams Was On 24 Last Season)

Thank you, Jebus!!! 24 is the best show on TV and if they put this talentless, titless wonder on there, I will personally be sure the CTU shoves a nuclear device so far up her cooch that the radiation will blow out those smirky, twirpy eyeballs of hers!!!!!!
Edgar did not die for some idjit like her to end up working in his place!!!!

Oh...Cruella...two things...
A) there are better ways to get attention.
B) jealous much?

....Joel Surnow says, "You can't put those people on (the show) because they're too recognizable. They'll take you (viewers) out of the reality.".....
Holy Crap! 24 is REAL?

Oh Cruella, please... it's called a CHOCHA

Nope, not 12, DEFINITELY not jealous, but I do think she is untalented and overrated. Caught me at a bad time on a bad day.
And, thanks EraserFan, I have added that to my list...

Edgar? Please. I'll never forgive Joel for killing Tony. Why did it have to be the Pretty, Joel? Why the Pretty?

Amazing just Amazing! that this UGLY chinnifer would actually try to get on one of my favorite shows. UNBELIEVABLE! whats the matter, is she finally realizing that she's not cut out for the BIG SCREEN, and now she wants to slowly try and creep back into the tube. she sure needs to face reality, and figure it out that she just can't act. bottomline! besides, i can't stand this dimwit, just looking at her gives me the creeps. what is it that her 2 exe's have said about her, that SHE'S TOO D*** NEEDY, WHINEY, AND JUST A TOTAL INSECURE PERSON! yea! like 24 really needs that type of a person on their show. CAN YOU JUST SEE HER WORKING WITH GOOD OLE KEIFFER! I'LL BET SHE'D BE THERE WHINING AND COMPLAINING THAT SHE DIDN'T GET MORE LINES THAN KEIFFER. SHE'S A DRAG AND SHE REALLY NEEDS TO GO AWAY.
Evelyn says:
way to go Joel Surnow! you did good, that mannisten can not act at all. she is the last person that alot of us would want to see on our 24 show. could you just see her whining and competing with Keiffer! she has alot of nerve to try and bring her no talent to our show 24. you bring her on and you surely would end up getting cancelled. yeah!

For a person that can't act she has made over 8 million dollars. There are many celebrities I do not care to see but, I can not see what sense it makes to act so childish toward's them.
