'24' names new vice president

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) - Powers Boothe has been elected vice president on Fox's "24."

In the recurring role, he will play Noah Daniels, the No. 2 to new U.S. President Wayne Palmer (D.B. Woodside). Powers, who co-starred on HBO's "Deadwood," recently wrapped the indie "The Final Season" opposite Sean Astin.

In other casting news, Mark Deklin has joined ABC's "Desperate Housewives," and Kip Pardue has come on board NBC's "ER." All roles are also recurring.

On "Housewives," Deklin will play Bill Pearce, a handsome widower who gets to know Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) when she becomes a consultant on a pageant featuring his 11-year-old daughter. Deklin also has a recurring role on Fox's new drama "Justice."

On "ER," Pardue will play a male nurse who becomes involved with nurse Samantha Taggart (Linda Cardellini). Pardue next appears in Emilio Estevez's "Bobby."

Ruby · The Good Witch Of The South

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Producers on Fox's "24" are contemplating a female president on the show next season, a decision that could foreshadow real-life events if Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic presidential nod.

The real-time thriller has been popular among Washington's elite, including former president Bill Clinton. He recently said it was one of his favorite shows "even though an uber-right-wing guy writes it." He was referring to "24" co-creator Joel Surnow, an outspoken Republican.

While "24" broke ground introducing the first black president on a TV series (Dennis Haysbert), the show would not be the first to have a female president. In the past few years, ABC's "Commander in Chief" and Fox's "Prison Break" both featured women in the Oval Office.

Sources stressed that no final decision has been made on the role of the president next season and that the "24" creative team ultimately might opt to go in another direction.
