anil kapoor joining 24

Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, last seen as the game show host in Slumdog Millionaire, is about to have the longest day of his life. He's joining the cast of Fox's 24 next season: Slumdog Millionare's Anil Kapoor Joins 24.

He'll reportedly play "a Middle Eastern leader who comes to the U.S. on a peacemaking mission." I'm sure that at some point during the "day" Jack Bauer will kick his ass... or he'll help Jack Bauer kick someone else's ass.

After seven seasons, I can't believe this show is still on. That's a week's worth of asskicking, and counting. If I were an associate of Jack Bauer, I would just get the hell out of his life. The guy is a serious magnet for trouble.
