"We Are Marshall"--"24" Connection

Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake, but after reading today's story about "We Are Marshall," it dawned on me how I knew the name Kate Mara.

Mara joined the cast of "24" last week as Shari Rothenberg, a new CTU analyst with an interesting backstory. Just as we thought she was cool after she saved Los Angeles from the horrible nerve gas, we realized she may not be all together there as she freaked out when CTU Director Bill Buchanan patted her on the shoulder to congratulate her (We had earlier learned that she had once filed a sexual harrassment suit against Miles, the new guy from Homeland Security.).

If the information I'm hearing about the part she's playing in "We Are Marshall" is correct, she'll be perfect. She's already the perfect addition to "24."
