Basinger to join 24 cast?

Kim Basinger is set to join the cast of hit drama 24 after confessing to star Kiefer Sutherland that she's a huge fan.

Basinger has just played opposite Sutherland in thriller The Sentinel and is now considering joining the cast of his TV series for its next season.

She says: "I love that show. That would be cool."

Sutherland admits he's delighted at the thought of Basinger becoming a regular: "I'm gonna hold her to that."

If she signs up for a guest spot, Basinger won't be the only movie star to appear in 24 - Lord Of The Rings actor Sean Astin, Julian Sands and The Mummy villain Arnold Vosloo have joined the cast in the past.
