[edit] Trivia

In a TV Guide interview in May 2006, Morshower mentioned that he ad libbed the following quote from the Day 5 4:00am-5:00am episode: "There is nothing that you have said or done that is acceptable to me in the least. You're a traitor to your country and a disgrace to your office, and it's my duty to see that you're brought to justice for what you've done. Is there anything else, Charles?"
In an online podcast [1], Howard Gordon discussed that Morshower's character, Aaron Pierce, was originally scheduled to be killed, but that Glenn Morshower asked that the writers reconsider and spare the character. Morshower got his wish, and Pierce was kept alive.
Morshower revealed in an episode of 24 Inside that he uses a more defined southern accent than his own, partially based on his father's accent, while portraying Aaron Pierce. His father was a former Naval Officer whose strict parenting style influenced several of Morshower's roles.
