So what is going to happen to Tony Almeida in this season?
Kiefer Sutherland admitted that Carlos Bernard wasn’t expecting fans to hold him personally accountable for his character’s actions. “Two episodes in he started getting hate mail,” he said. “Then he started getting the hate phone calls. It made him a little nervous.”
Carlos views Tony as a victim. “I don’t perceive Tony as evil. He’s gone through really traumatic events. He’s a damaged individual. He’s a guy who doesn’t trust anybody anymore, feels abandoned and feels he has to take matters into his own hands.”
Exec producer Jon Cassar urges viewers to reserve judgment until after Monday’s finale. “I know right now they are kind of upset that he’s bad, but it all kind of becomes clear in episode 24. We really wanted [the season] to end with Tony and Jack, and that’s how it’s going to end.”
Howard Gordon was slightly less apologetic. “If people are disappointed or don’t like [how Tony's arc is resolved], too bad.”
i love tony almeida in his character before..he’s a good man…but when the story has a twist. I accept his bad image because he’s totally damaged when michelle died he’s totally devastated.
Tony is one of my favorite too! I don’t care if he turned out to be the bad guy, I till love him!
I don’t like it. It turns out horrible.
Tony is one of my favorite characters. I was a little disappointed to learn that he is on the dark side, but it’s what makes this show great. You didn’t expect this, and here it is. Can’t wait for Monday to see how this all turns out.
