Transcript
Jason C, FOX Source: 24, season 7!
Annie Wersching: 24! Yessss!
FOX Source: You excited?
Annie Wersching: Yes, very.
FOX Source: When is the premiere?
Annie Wersching: January of 2009. There’s going to be a two hour movie in November, it’s pretty cool. I’m not in that, but I’m in the season when it starts.
FOX Source: What is your character, is she good, bad, mess things up?
Annie Wersching: I play Renee Walker, I’m an FBI Agent, and I pull Jack out of a senate hearing to come help us with the particular crisis of the day. So we’re kinda partners out in the field and I have to decide if I’m gonna do things the Jack Bauer way or the the FBI way.
FOX Source: So you’re gonna be in there quite a while.
Annie Wersching: Yeah.
FOX Source: What episode do you start in?
Annie Wersching: One.
FOX Source: Oh, alright. So the first hour.
Annie Wersching: Yep, the very first hour, and we’re just finishing [episode] eighteen right now.
FOX Source: Wow! You guys are just hooking it all up.
Annie Wersching: We’ve been shooting for a year.
FOX Source: Are you guys going to kick it off with a middle of the night thing, where he’s not sleeping, or middle of the day?
Annie Wersching: I think it starts at 8 in the morning maybe? That could be wrong, that might be wrong. But I think that’s right.
FOX Source: I think if I were Jack Bauer I’d know that I can’t ever go out on an all-night bender, because you never know!
Annie Wersching: Nope, nope. You never know when you have to save the world! *laughs*
FOX Source: So does he ever doze off on you when you’re out in the field, do you have to wake him up? I never get to see that scene, I always want to.
Annie Wersching: No, he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t go to the bathroom, and he doesn’t fall asleep. It’s the best partner ever!
FOX Source: Keeps ya busy, cause the time is running.
Annie Wersching: Right!
FOX Source: What are you gonna do when you get in there? Cause you’ve got a casino at your disposal.
Annie Wersching: I’ve never been to this, I didn’t come to this one last year. So I’m going to look for the roulette. Do they have roulette?
FOX Source: I believe they do.
Annie Wersching: I’m gonna do the red/black. Kinda lame, but eh.
FOX Source: I’ve been hearing 21. So I dunno. I’d go over there, when you see everyone bunched around the roulette table, 21. I’m telling ya.
Annie Wersching: I like to do what not everyone else is doing. I’m gonna change it up!
FOX Source: There ya go. You march to the beat of your own drum.
Annie Wersching: Yes! *Laughs*
FOX Source: Great, it was great talking to you. Good luck with the new season, I’m sorry it’s so far off in the future. [Looks at camera] What’s up FOX?
Annie Wersching: Nah, it’s good, it’s getting close!
FOX Source: Yeah, I know.
Annie Wersching: Thank you so much.
FOX Source: Thank you very much.
