Elisha Cuthbert has admitted that she was incredibly lucky to be offered a role in 24.

The actress had only just arrived in Hollywood when she was cast as Jack Bauer's daughter Kim in the hit US show. Cuthbert was a regular character on the terrorist drama for three years, before she left to pursue a movie career.

"To be part of that show was lucky," Elisha told WENN. "It was a blessing, but I didn't choose that. It fell into my lap... At that point in my career, I would have done anything - within reason."
