"Gil Bellows has a lot to talk about -- and one thing he can't discuss -- over the phone from L.A., where he's in his Prius with two yowling cats, driving north to meet his wife and two children for a summer at their Gulf Islands second home.
The Vancouver-born actor has the new comedy The Promotion set to open in theatres on Friday and a Canadian epic opening the Toronto Film Festival this fall. As well, he just wrapped three weeks work in Africa on the hush-hush two-hour prequel to this season of TV's 24.Word on the Internet about that story is that Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer is in Africa doing volunteer work when a coup breaks out. Bellows can only say that he plays a U.S. official in the country and Trainspotting's Robert Carlyle is Bauer's old special forces pal.
"We shot in Cape Town and it was me and Kiefer and Bobby Carlyle and a bunch of African actors."The movie, which airs in November, sets up the yet-to-be filmed seventh season, which will return to the show's real-time 24-hour format starting in January. Bellows adds that he'll "probably" come back for other episodes."
