24 at Comic Con: Carlos Bernard is a Smart Ass

Shocking right?  Every time Carlos Bernard got asked a question at last night’s 24 panel at Comic Con, he responded back with something snarky.  Not mean snarky, just smart ass snarky.  When asked if he though Tony Almeida was really gone for good, Bernard simply replied with, “Never!”

His working relationship with the cast and crew has been something to contend with, says Bernard.  First of all, I have to go back and work with these people. I don’t care what they say, it’s not easy.  I have to work with Kiefer, it’s not easy.  I have to basically write the story for them.  Not easy.” He quickly followed it up with a laugh, “No, no, it’s been amazing.”

Everyone’s glad to have Carlos back as Tony, even if the idea of his resurrection confused Sutherland at first. “I said how?  But the way he came back was so extraordinary.  So very 24.”

Kiefer wasn’t telling the audience how or why it was so extraordinary, so we’ll have to wait until January 2009 to find out how Tony’s not only returned from the dead but is at first glance, Jack’s new nemesis.
