7 days & counting!!

one week from tomorrow will be michael shanks' first appearance on 24!!
(unless those melonfarmers change it again)
and here's what i've heard so far:

1. his character's name is michael bishop
2. he's either and advisor to the president or a lobbyist
3. apparently he gets "roughed up" quote I’ve actually got bruises, uh, you know, after 10 years of Stargate, uh, you know, we did a lot of action stuff and Daniel got beat up a fair bit and just a couple of days of working on that show, I’ve got bruises on my bruises. I’ve got a bruise on my thigh that is like that big end quote
4. there's some bare skin involved quote I spend a great deal of 24, um, in a lot of different states of disrobing end quote
5. some of that "disrobing" is during a "love scene"

he reportedly will have a "celebrity blog" on the tv guide website. probably at the end of this week in time for his debut on 24.
i'll post the link when it becomes available
