Kiefer Sutherland Suffers Ruptured Cyst, Halts 24
February 15th, 2010
Production on 24 has been temporarily halted after it’s star, Kiefer Sutherland, suffered a ruptured cyst near his kidney and has had to undergo minor surgery.
“While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps,” his rep, Evelyn Karamanos, said. “He looks forward to returning to work next week.”
20th Century Fox released the following statement:
“We are temporarily suspending production of 24 while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure. We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season’s episodes.”
