"Gilmore Girls" Stars on "24"

Two Gilmore Girls alumni appeared last night in the return of the FOX hit 24. For its much anticipated Season 7 premiere, many new characters were added to the show.

One of the stars last night on 24 was John Billingsley, who was a guest star on Gilmore Girls as Mr. Remmy in ‘Lorelais’ First Day at Chilton‘, but was probably best known from his work on Enterprise as Dr. Phlox or his many other SciFi appearances. The other Gilmore Girls guest star to appear last night on 24 was Nick Chinlund, who appeared in the same episode of Gilmore Girls as Ian Jack, the Chilton dad who has an immediate crush on Lorelai.

On 24, John Billingsley guest starred in the first two episodes of the season (8:00am – 9:00am, 9:00am – 10:00am) as Michael Latham, an engineer who is abducted for his specialized knowledge of a firewall module. He’s forced to work on it for the bad guys. Nick Chinlund starred in the same two episodes as ex-Agent Masters, a man who has gone to work for the “dark side” and is one of the men holding Latham hostage.
