Oh no!

He was magnificent in “24”’s best season as Jack Bauer’s most formidable adversary, but he was so much more than that. He was a genuinely talented and reliable character actor who made everything he appeared in better. You believed him in every role he played.

Crap.

When he tried to dive through the floor of his limo in S8 just because he recognized Jack Bauer was truly memorable.

Oh my god, yes - that’s a “cheer out loud” moment in this house.

He was also on the first season of The Mentalist.

I had never noticed him until '24', but after his oh-so memorable performance there, I began to notice him in a lot of things, both in subsequent performances but in other roles going back decades. Wonderful actor who will truly be missed.

Big fan of that show, and Itzen did a fine job of portraying exasperation in the face of Jane's antics. Really hated to see him leave after season one. ( I remember briefly considering the idea that he was Red John during season one.)

R.I.P.

- Walter.

In a better world, we'd be nine seasons into him being Mayor of L.A. in Mob City.

I first noticed him in "The Nutt House" with Cloris Leachman. Too bad only six episodes were shown (five were unaired by NBC).

Very memorable as DA Roger Garfield in Murder One. Great character actor.
