Ewww! I'm not a Freddie Prinze Jr. fan at all! I'll reserve total judgement until I see him on Season 8. I wasn't a fan of Sean Astin in Season 5 and ended up taping that season and fast forwarding through his parts. I might end up doing that this year............It's hard to picture a guy whose usually in slasher movies with his wife portraying a serious person. Oh well, we'll see.

Linda--Was it hard for you to watch Jeannine Garrafalo in season 7? It's hard to picture a mediocre female commedienne portraying a serious person....but she did well. I think Freddie will be fine as well. He's done more than slasher movies
too bad the report mentioned that he was a 'regular' otherwise, i would of marked him for death before long.
_+_+ hmpfff_+_+
no matter what i still love him, can't wait to see him a a serious acting role.. why you people judge him that early..???
He wants to be the next Jack Bauer? Maybe they're adding him to the cast in case Bauer is killed, or Sutherland asks for more money.
hmmm, compared to jack i would prefer prince.. he got the look and oh my... he is my longtime crush.. the hell i care with the ratings or so, he is still so hottttt
the next jack bauer? more like the next john mayer
I think this is great news. He will do an outstanding job. He's a very likeable and talented actor.
As for that ugly, untalented pig Jeannine Garrafalo, I stoped watching because of her.
