KOOL TV BABE OF THE WEEK: '24' AND 'DALLAS' STAR ANNIE WERSCHING

Ready to play...? The lovely US actress Annie Wersching. Image: FOX.

Very few female friends, lovers or work colleagues make it beyond a season alongside immortal US TV action hero Jack Bauer, as personified by the intense Kiefer Sutherland over eight years of the hit series 24, but Annie Wersching, as the fiery redheaded spitfire and his partner-of-arms, Renee Walker, certainly left her mark on the lead characters heart and soul, and particularly with viewers, in its final two seasons. At first a loyal and dutiful FBI agent who played by the rules, Renee soon had to throw away that rule book when coming across several formidable threats attacking both the White House and America across its seventh gripping day of action, suspense and drama. By the following season, she was out of the service-her career and life seemingly washed up and beyond repair after her past deeds- her emotional and psychological status seemingly wrecked beyond repair. Finding the courage and the bravery to help Jack defeat a new threat to the United Nations, she was sadly eventually slain by a Russian commissioned hitman after her one and only night in the sack with Jack (as a going away forever present, I hope it was a good one!). Her blood soaked death in front of his eyes would soon launch Jack onto the final revenge fuelled destructive course of action that would satisfyingly end his character and the TV phenomenon's current destiny on the small screen...

Memorably started off her TV career in 2002, playing a mysterious alien, Liana, in STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, Missouri-born Wersching's work beyond her popular, severe FBI suited heroics has included appearances on lots more highly successful series: the noteworthy likes of CSI, BODY OF PROOF, HAWAII FIVE-O and HARRY'S LAW to name but a few. She can currently be seen making the job of boss to the Department of Transportation of Dallas look much more sexy than it ever deserves to be, as Alison Jones, in the second season of the re-imagined series of the same name, currently airing on the UK's FIVE HD, where she'll soon no doubt be steamily caught in the antics of rival Ewing clans. I think my temperature has already started to rise in anticipation of this bright and sexy lady's continued appearances...
