Chris Diamantopoulos will play Rob Weiss, the new Chief of Staff to President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) in the upcoming 8th season of 24, reports EW.
The 34-year-old actor, who’s best known playing Debra Messing‘s gay BFF on The Starter Wife, will help prevent an assassination plot against a visiting foreign leader (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor) in New York City.
On Monday’s season finale, President Taylor’s daughter Olivia relinquished her duties as C.O.S. back to Ethan Kanin.
FYI: Chris and Ugly Betty star Becki Newton, who plays the deliciously catty receptionist Amanda, celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary earlier this month. Maybe you remember the couple’s super sexy beach romp?
