Marisol Nichols joined the cast of
24 this season as Nadia Yassir, the right-hand woman to
Bill Buchanan at CTU: Los Angeles. Nadia is a woman of Middle Eatern descent, a truth that has already come into play within the politics of CTU this season. Marisol has had an already prolific career, appearing on
Friends, CSI, Alias, Law & Order: SVU, Charmed, Nip/Tuck and numerous other TV shows and films. Marisol stopped by BuddyTV for an interview last week to discuss her time on
24.

I had just got done filming Injustice and that was done and it was like my fourth time reading for a role on 24 in the whole six years they’ve been on and I was like, “There’s no way they are going to hire me, they never hire me.” And so I went in…and that was the role they were looking for, so I got it.
