Jennifer Aniston’s bid to star in hit series 24 has been unsuccessful.

The actress approached bosses about the possibility of guest starring in the show, about a counter-terrorism government agency, but was snubbed because of her role as ditzy Rachel Green in ‘Friends’.

Aniston is not the only big name star to be refused a part in the show.

Comic actor was also overlooked because he is too famous.

Work on a film version of 24 is currently underway, with a scheduled release date for the summer of 2008.

It is believed Kiefer Sutherland will reprise his role as special agent Jack Bauer in the big screen version.
