Kim Basinger to Join 24 Cast?  4/20/06

Kim Basinger is set to join the cast of hit drama 24 after confessing to star Kiefer Sutherland that she's a huge fan.

Basinger has just played opposite Sutherland in thriller The Sentinel and is now considering joining the cast of his TV series for its next season.

She says, "I love that show. That would be cool."

Sutherland admits he's delighted at the thought of Basinger becoming a

regular: "I'm gonna hold her to that."

If she signs up for a guest spot, Basinger won't be the only movie star to appear in 24 - Lord of the Rings actor Sean Astin, Julian Sands and The Mummy villain Arnold Vosloo have joined the cast in the past.
