Annie Wersching: “Hardcore” Renee Has Nothing to Lose
If a certain Russian stoolie now stands little chance of thumbing a ride along the highway, he has Renee Walker to blame.
At the close of 24‘s two-night, four-hour Season 8 premiere, the FBI’s onetime golden child “pulled a Bauer,” employing an electric saw to lop off a thug’s thumb and thus wriggle off a wrist monitor. The moment even caught Jack himself by surprise.
Annie Wersching on ’24′: Action role is ‘just so fun’
If there was any doubt that Renee Walker is a Jack Bauer kind of gal, it evaporated last week when the 24 character cut off a Russian mobster’s thumb.
“Gosh, I loved it,” says Annie Wersching, when she learned what her character was supposed to do. “I was a huge fan of the show from the very beginning, so I was immediately like, ‘Oh, my God, I kind of have a hacksaw moment.’ ” (Renee used a small power saw; Jack, as fans such as Wersching know, used a hacksaw to cut off the head of a man he killed in Season 2.)
Even before Renee went digital, fans of 24 (Fox, tonight, 9 ET/PT) were calling her “Jacqueline Bauer” for the power and intensity she has shown in bringing wrongdoers to justice. Kiefer Sutherland, who plays the iconic Jack, credits Wersching for pulling that off.
“If she’s sitting absolutely still, even if her eyes aren’t moving, there’s a fire you can feel in there. There’s a real energy,” Sutherland says. “(Executive producer) Howard Gordon’s idea, and what I thought would have been really interesting, was to have a female kind of Jack Bauer, someone who can handle themselves that well, (and) they would have a chemistry, because there are very few people that can do those kinds of things. All of that, she’s just amazing.”
Renee Walker makes TV Guide’s Top Moments
2. Most Shocking Return: Learning that 24‘s Renee Walker (Annie Wersching) had a breakdown between seasons was surprising. But not as surprising as the news that she was once undercover with the Russian mob. Jack’s former paramour is convincing as a murderous moll, as we see when she helps her former contact, Ziya, elude his court-mandated monitoring bracelet by sawing his thumb off.

Annie Wersching: I love playing Dark Renee!
Last year, 24 introduced us to by-the-book, tough as nails FBI agent Renee Walker. But after the events of Day seven — where Renee was forced to shatter protocol, abide torture and watch as her boyfriend perished at the hands of terrorists — a new, angrier Renee has emerged. And Dark Renee (as fans will inevitably call her) promises to ratchet up the tension, drama and bloodshed in season eight!
The fourth-hour of 24‘s season premiere painted Renee as the most dangerous player in this year’s terrorist plot — not because she’s aligning with the forces of evil, but because she’s a wild card with nothing to lose!
I chatted with Annie Wersching about her character’s redirect to the dark side and found that she’s not only loving the change, but can’t wait until fans see how far Renee actually takes it this season!
PopWrap: How much fun are you having playing this new Dark Renee?
Annie Wersching: Oh my god, I am loving it! I really am. I loved where she got to go last season — Renee had such a great arc from where she started to where she ended — but when I found out the plan for this year, I couldn’t believe they thought of more!PopWrap: Were you apprehensive about turning this character on her head?
Annie Wersching: I definitely wasn’t nervous — even last year when she would do something that was a little Jack Bauer-esque, it obviously affected her. So I think that laid such great groundwork for this season and I totally embrace it.
