About Jack Bauer
Jack Bauer is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Fox television series 24. Throughout the majority of the series' running, Bauer serves as a key member of the fictional CTU and other institutions. Bauer's job usually involves helping prevent major terrorist attacks on the United States, saving both civilian lives and government administrations.
