Cinematographer Rodney Charters, known for his work on the Kiefer Sutherland thriller series “24,” has died. The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) announced his death, saying he died in Amsterdam on September 13 and was 80.
Charters shot a large portion of “24,” with one account describing eight seasons of work and another citing 184 episodes. Both sources credit him with helping shape the show’s distinct visual style. Across his career, he also worked on other television projects, including “Shameless.”
The outlets also note recognition from his peers. One source highlights that Charters received an ASC Career Achievement Award and two Emmy nominations during his time with “24.” Both accounts describe him as a longtime ASC member, underscoring his standing in the cinematography community. Despite the differing details reported—such as the exact number of episodes and the circumstances of his passing—both sources agree on his association with “24” and his prominence as a television cinematographer.
