The challenge is making sure that every single moment is honest, no matter what. It's doing Eric Carter justice. Not trying to fill Jack Bauer's shoes. Not trying to step into Kiefer's legacy.

I have the most utmost respect for the men and women overseas, and I only played a soldier on television. Again, I can only imagine the sacrifices that they make every single day.

I've got big shoes to fill. This is my chance to do something. I have to seize the moment.

Every single moment is a coincidence.

On '24,' you don't have time to emote and deal with stuff, because stuff just keeps happening. Every other minute, there's something crazy that's happening that's threatening this country.

Now it's my turn to start, and I am going to try to fill the (previous lineman's) shoes. There is more pressure because we don't want to be the senior class that let coach (Barry) Alvarez down in his last season with Wisconsin.
