At every turn, for better or for worse, the producers sought to destroy these relationships [that Bauer had], and consequently turn the show into something that it didn't start out being. ... I think it makes for a weaker show. |
He is a man of great personal power, honor and honesty. I saw in him a really good man who would make a great president. |
I didn't think Palmer should have been killed at all. I didn't like the message that it sent. There is too much meanness in the world - why kill off a character that is so loved by everybody? |
I think that (my character) President David Palmer was the voice of conscience on that series, and it was a mistake to take that voice away. Of course, as an actor, I'm happy that I can now work with Mamet. |
