Eric Balfour

From Wiki 24

Eric Balfour played Milo Pressman during Day 1 and returned to the series in Day 6. He was forced to miss the last few episodes of Day 1 because he was shooting another pilot.

Balfour has been a fixture on the Hollywood circuit since the early 1990s, when he appeared as one of the leads of the hit kids show Kids Incorporated. In the early 90s, he was also a member of a band called "Blessed with Soul" that featured Brittany Murphy. He is also famously known as Satan from car commercials in 2002, forcing a man spend his days driving a minivan. Along with his television and film career, he is the lead singer of a Los Angeles based rock band, "Born as Ghosts", formerly "Fredalba".

Balfour appeared in two TV shows that were both canceled within a year of each other. NBC's Hawaii was canceled after seven episodes in 2004, and UPN's Sex, Love, & Secrets was canceled after four episodes in 2005.

In a guest appearance Late Night with Conan O'Brien in March 2006, the actor admitted to the practice of going commando, saying he has never owned underwear.

Balfour has the record of longest break in appearances between episodes of 24, with 105 episodes between his last appearance in Day 1 and his reappearance at the first hour of Day 6. Balfour appeared in a total of 27 episodes from his character's first appearance in Day 1 to his death in Day 6.

Eric Balfour admitted that he wanted his character to die, so he could find time to work in an upcoming CBS show named Protect & Serve where he will star along with Dean Cain. He also remarked that the show seemed poised for a major conceptual overhaul after season 6, increasing his desire to "get Milo out of there."
