Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What character did Dr. Romano play on 24?
Also, what Cindy said.

He caught one of the newer young doctors smoking a joint behind the dumpsters in the alley. I forget which one.
Thanks for the info Jon. All I saw was the scene into commercial, where Jack had shot Not!Robocop, and then he saw the Little Ensign That Could, and started walking towards him menacingly. Then I came into the office to post. I heard it come back from commercial, and by the time I got back into the living room, Jack was surrendering to the Navy, and the Little Ensign was nowhere to be seen.
Also, because I missed a later episode in there (24) somewhere, can someone please tell me how the hell Audrey got unshot, or unstabbed, from when Peter Weller started her bleeding to keep Jack from chasing after him?????

Huh. I totally had forgotten that.
Sometimes I think the only reason I'm still watching (or halfwatching. I'm usually doing something else at the same time) is to see what catastrophe they'll dream up next.

I think that all of McCrane's characters should be killed by vengeful helicopters.
I dunno, his death-by-toxic-waste was pretty impressive in Robocop. And by impressive, I mean dis-gus-sting. What a shame they didn't get Kurtwood Smith into 24 this season - what with Peter Weller, Paul McCrane and Ray Wise it was practically a cast reunion already.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I know the last one! She hadn't actually been stabbed in the artery that he claimed he'd stabbed her in, so the bleeding wasn't Instant Fatal Death Bleeding after all. Jack made a tourniquet, which held up long enough for Curtis to pick her up and take her back to CTU.

Also, Frank, it's too bad that Jack killed Not!Robocop, because then maybe Fury could kill Not!Romano next season by dousing him with toxic waste, running him running him over with a car as he melted, and THEN dropping a helicopter on him.

Sean - You didn't miss anything from when you came back after the commercials.
re: Audrey on 24: Her arm was badly cut, but she got treated (there was a scene with her and Jack in the CTU clinic). I assume she was OK, after that. Hey -- if Jack's heart can stop for a minute, and then he can get up and run around for the next bunch of hours, surely Audrey can recover quickly from a mere knife wound!

But he played Pete Conrad in From the Earth to the Moon! You can't kill off Pete Conrad (especially since he's already dead, IIRC).
