Boss Higgins and President Logan are the same actor...Gregory Itzin ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0411857/)
He's also been on a ton of other Fox shows if you look down the list. Also, the renegage cop, Lieutenant Womack on The Message was the fake father (Richard Burgi) of Kim Bauer's friend in the first Season of 24...I bet there are a ton of these little coincidences...also he's another one of the main actors on Desperate Housewives...heh

I guess that only shows the power of these actors. To go from one show to the next without being recognized and able to inhabit their characters so well that you'd never think they're from another show.
I remember when re-watching FIREFLY and then checking their IMDB profiles that I was shocked when I saw that Gina was on 24 as Julia Miliken. Julia was basically the antithesis of Zoe. Wife of a rich political mentor who got pushed around by Sherri and was essentially a coward who ended up killing herself. If Zoe and Sherri were in the same room, Zoe would've just punched Sherri out. But I wouldn't put it past Sherri to put up a good fight. On Day 3, he proved that she doesn't need weapons and that she could TALK a person to death. Mind you, it helps if said person was a old man with a heart condition, but that's beside the point.
Another connection 24 has to another great show is THE SOPRANOS. At least 3 SOPRANO actors were on 24. The guy who played the philanderous Father Phil also played Ryan Chappelle from days 1 to 3 and was basically the biggest beaureaucrat of the all. The guy who played Mikey in season 1 (the poison ivy guy) showed up for a few eps in day 2 as a P.I. Kate Warner hires. He eventually got killed in his second ep. And the latest one is Louis Lombardi, who was Big Pussy's FBI handler on THE SOPRANOS and is now beter known as Edgar Stiles.
I'm sure there are others, but that's just off the top of my head.
