Yes, Jack Bauer is a fictional character on Fox’s hit show ’24’ played by Keifer Sutherland. He brings his super-powers of persuasion to bear in the case of a brazen bearded suspect, who travels with speed unknown to scientists, and has a lame excuse for world travel, breaking and entering, and delivering packages. Jack is the only one who can break this obvious charlatan.
In a particularly creepy instance of life imitating art, or at least TV, WIKI states that "Bauer’s frequent use of torture to gather information has been cited as an inspiration by CIA interrogators and has generated much controversy and discussion." Oh yeah! You see, Santa gets away very easily
compared to some of Jack’s other suspects. The threat of another coal-filled stocking must lurk in a dark corner of the minds of even the toughest guys.
