LOS ANGELES, July 22 (UPI) -- Actress Cherry Jones may play the next president on the hit U.S. television show "24."
Sources say Jones will play the U.S. commander in chief on the action thriller, which has long been toying with the idea of a female president, the Hollywood Reporter said Sunday.
The Fox network would not confirm the report. Jones would be the first major cast member added to the upcoming seventh season.
Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV were forced to delay shooting until August when plans to set the season in Africa fell through.
The decision to cast a woman as president is even more interesting in light of the fact that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is the front-runner for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, the Reporter said.
Jones' credits include "The West Wing" and "The Perfect Storm."
