Ezten was Charles Logan for 44 episodes, in which he acted as a true traitor to his country. He was clearly not a likable character, but in that revolutionary series that was ’24’, he played a crucial role as Jack Bauer’s last hurdle (Kiefer Sutherland), always bent on saving his country from all kinds of threats and conspiracies. Then there was the hero’s daughter, Elisha Cuthbertwhich deserve a separate analysis.

“24”, in fact, may have unconsciously prepared his arrival at the White House Barack Obama. In the first season of the series, we were introduced to the irreplaceable David Palmer (played by Dennis Hysbert) as the first black president of the United States.

Destined for the White House

His deputy and eventual successor was Charles Logan (Itzen), who, oddly enough, was actually a presidential candidate in an ad for cowardice. In a way, it seemed predestined, as he was born in Washington and first appeared on screen in 1979 in the basement of the White House.

The actor, neither very handsome nor smart-faced, was twice nominated for an Emmy for the series, of course without success. Despite everything, how dangerous he is to fall into the audience is part of his skills as an actor, which has seen him participate in nearly 200 titles, between TV series and movies. Some of the most famous “Land as you can” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, although the contestants in “Pasapalabra” will not know the roles he played in those films.
