Katee Sackhoff who starred on “Battlestar Galactica” as Kara “Starbuck” has recently signed on to co-star in Fox’s hit show, “24″. She will play Dana Walsh who is a smart,competent, data analyst expert at CTU who has a secret past involving CTU agent Davis Cole played by new cast member Freddie Prinze Jr. This is reported to be the final major casting for the show’s upcoming 8th season which is currently in production.

Apparently Katee Sackhoff was close to signing on to “24″ a week ago,but pulled out to explore another lucrative offer from a cable network. I guess that must not have worked out, because she started talking to Fox again about “24″,and signed on, on Monday June 8,2009. Katee will join production on Wednesday. She joins other new comers to the show which include : Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Westfeldt, Mykelti Williamson, John Boyd and Chris Diamantopoulos. She was recently on NBC’s pilot, “Lost and Found”.
