19. The Indian Version Of 24 Stars Anil Kapoor, Who Played President Hassan On The U.S. Show
It's unsurprising that a show as popular as 24 has been remade, and in 2013, the Indian version of 24 began airing, which was largely praised by critics for living up the big-budget thrills of the original U.S. show. The bigger surprise is that the show stars and is produced by Anil Kapoor, who played President Omar Hassan on the U.S. version of the show, and of course also starred in the Best Picture-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. Though Kapoor isn't exactly the first actor you'd think of to play the lean CTU agent, he's won rave reviews for his work.
