Jack Bauer Wiki

Type: Character

Genres/Tags:

Jack Bauer is a counter-terrorism agent based out of Los Angeles, CA, in the hit show 24. Jack Bauer is played by Kiefer Sutherland.

Summary

Jack Bauer is the protagonist of the American television series 24, in which he has trained and worked in various capacities as a government agent, including US Army Delta Force, LAPD SWAT, and finally the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) Los Angeles. He is a key member of the latter and has prevented major terrorist attacks on the United States throughout the series, saving both civilians and government leaders. On many occasions the character has done so at great personal expense, as those he has thwarted have targeted him and his loved ones many times. Kiefer Sutherland portrays Jack Bauer in the television show and video game, and in 2006 signed on for at least three further seasons.

Skills

'(referenced from wikipedia)' Jack's service at CTU and in various prior jobs has given him many relevant survival skills. He is an expert marksman and is competent in hand to hand combat. He is also a capable pilot (of both airplanes and helicopters). On many occasions, he has demonstrated that he is a ruthless and efficient interrogator of suspected terrorists, relying on his knowledge and experience of human psychology (and anatomy), and has also shown remarkable ability at resisting torture when subjected to it himself. However, he also utilizes such information to help those who are wounded or victimized by the days' events.

Jack has some knowledge of foreign languages. He is seen speaking Spanish briefly in Season 1 and Russian in Season 6. He also understands some Serbian, which he presumably learned for a mission he undertook in Kosovo.
