10 TV Characters Who Just Disappeared
8. Behrooz Araz - 24
24 was pretty infamous for how many of its characters vanished, often blinking out of existence as soon as they were no longer an immediate part of the plot. The biggest example is Behrooz Araz in Day 4.
Behrooz, played by Jonathan Ahdout, was the son of Navi and Dina Araz. With his parents, he was part of a plot to cause a nuclear meltdown in Los Angeles (which was, in true 24 style, only a small part of a ridiculously elaborate plan). However, he turned against his family after they killed his girlfriend.
Behrooz was a major part of a large chunk of the series. He helped stop the meltdown and even killed Navi. He was then taken in by CTU, along with his mother, for interrogation.
Later in the series, they were traded to the mastermind behind the attacks Habib Marwan in return for Jack Bauer. Behrooz had a tracking device planted in him so that CTU could find Marwan's base, but the terrorist saw through the plan. He had Diva executed and removed Behrooz's tracker before taking him to an unknown location.
Behrooz was never mentioned again because CTU are jerks like that.
What Happened To Him: A bit of bonus footage on the DVD release revealed that Behrooz was eventually rescued by CTU... somehow.
