24 Movie – This Fan Favorite Sidekick Hero Needs To Come Back

Key Takeaways

  • Aaron Pierce, a key character in the ’24’ series, could make a return in the ’24’ movie alongside Jack Bauer.
  • Pierce was one of the few characters left alive and had significant involvement in key plotlines during the series.
  • Journeyman actor Glenn Morshower, who portrayed Pierce, has had a rich career, including notable roles in ’24’ and ‘Manhunt.’

As a longtime fan of the gripping and intense drama series “24”, I am thrilled at the prospect of the much-anticipated “24 Movie“. One character that has always stood out to me is Agent Aaron Pierce, portrayed masterfully by Glenn Morshower. With his extensive background in law enforcement and government roles, Morshower brings a level of authenticity and gravitas to every role he plays.

As of now, the 24 Film remains in its initial production phase, having provided no substantial updates since its announcement back in July 2024. Kiefer Sutherland, famously known for his role as the valiant federal agent, Jack Bauer, in the television series, is anticipated to reprise his character. Yet, it’s important to note that Jack Bauer wasn’t the only heroic figure in the action series; Secret Service agent, Aaron Pierce was a well-liked recurring character who might make an appearance in the film adaptation as well.

Aaron Pierce was portrayed by veteran actor Glenn Morshower throughout the series, and his character offered protection to multiple presidents during the show. Despite limited shared screen time with Jack Bauer, they were allies. Given that Bauer is probably confronting a worldwide danger, he could hardly find a better ally than Pierce, another heroic figure, to help him in this challenging situation.

Aaron Pierce Was A Bad Ass Character And One Of Only A Few Characters Left Alive So He Could Feature In The 24 Movie

In the 24 television series, it’s Jack Bauer who takes center stage, but he wasn’t a lone wolf. Aaron Pierce was another crucial character, whose role grew over time. He’d make an excellent addition to the cast in the proposed 24 Movie, alongside Bauer. Given that he’s likely out of retirement from the Secret Service by now, he might reappear to aid Bauer in safeguarding the nation and potentially the world. The last time viewers saw Pierce was during the seventh season, where he played a pivotal role in the White House siege. Interestingly, Pierce was the only character aside from Bauer to feature in every season up until that point. However, his streak ended during Day 8, and he was missing from 24: Live Another Day. As such, we’re left wondering about Pierce’s current whereabouts, making him an even more intriguing prospect for the 24 Movie.

In the early seasons, Pierce was quite noticeable, playing a secondary character, but he truly shone in the fifth and most outstanding season of 24. He joined forces with Bauer to expose Charles Logan, the corrupt president, following one of 24’s most startling betrayals. When he returned for a single episode in Day 6, he was involved with Logan’s wife, Martha. Although there were hints of a romantic involvement, by Day 7, Pierce was living in Washington D. C and Martha was nowhere to be found. In fact, the former first lady didn’t appear again after Day 6, where she stabbed her ex-husband, leaving him critically injured. If Pierce makes a comeback, it might also provide an explanation for Martha’s disappearance, potentially revealing that they have rekindled their close relationship and are now in a stable partnership.

What Else Has Glenn Morshower Been In?

Glenn Morshower played Aaron Pierce in 49 episodes of the series “24” throughout its first seven seasons, but he has been a consistent presence in television and film since the 1970s. Although Morshower has appeared in numerous productions, his role as Aaron Pierce on “24” is perhaps his most well-known. It wouldn’t be shocking if he reprised this character for Jack Bauer’s upcoming big-screen adventure. Most recently, Morshower starred in the critically praised AppleTV+ series “Manhunt,” which focuses on the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. After spending years playing a president’s protector on “24,” it was an unexpected twist for Morshower to portray the actual President following Lincoln’s tragic demise. This role demonstrated Morshower’s versatility as an actor, and at 70 years old, he continues to thrive in his multifaceted career without any signs of retiring soon.

In the realm of my gaming life, a noteworthy milestone was my 10-episode stint as the cunning antagonist Wayne Lowry in Netflix’s smash hit drama series, Bloodline. Mostly, I’ve played characters hailing from law enforcement or government sectors. Prior to donning the role of President David Palmer’s protector on 24, I was a Secret Service agent guarding Harrison Ford’s iconic fictional president, James Marshall, in Air Force One, a classic ’90s action flick. Fatefully, Xander Berkeley, who later joined the cast of 24, portrayed another agent in that movie, eventually becoming a secondary villain. There’s been no word on the 24 Movie yet, but Agent Aaron Pierce stands among the most heroic characters in the 24 universe and deserves a comeback.
