Which actress played Nina Myers in the TV series 24?

The story behind the answer

Sarah Clarke played Nina Myers in the television series *24*.

Nina Myers is introduced as a senior Counter Terrorist Unit colleague of Jack Bauer. She initially appears to be a trusted and highly capable operative, but the character becomes central to the series’ conspiratorial plot and one of its most significant betrayals.

Clarke auditioned for the role in 2001 and won it on the day filming began. She reportedly had to wear her own clothing during the first season because there was not enough time for a wardrobe fitting. Her performance made Nina one of the show’s defining recurring characters, and Clarke appeared in 36 episodes across three seasons.

Viewers sometimes confuse Clarke with other prominent women from *24*, including Reiko Aylesworth, who played Michelle Dessler, or Elisha Cuthbert, who played Jack’s daughter Kim Bauer. Annie Wersching joined the franchise later as Renee Walker, making Sarah Clarke the canonical answer for Nina Myers.
