Exactly right. The producers, cast and crew put up with how much crap, delays etc., even when Kiefer went to jail, because he sold the show. Kinda like Charlie Sheen on Two & a Half until he took it so far they had no choice but to fire him.

Still think it's a funny story though.

Did they do this interview from where ever Sarah Michelle Gellar keeps him locked away?

he wanted to quit the business...let's see, he was paired with a leading actor with a winning track record on a long standing hit show and all he can do is wine like a little baby about having to take his shoes off? Sounds like a classic, career handed to you, titty baby to me. TEAM KIEFER!!! JACK BAUER LIVES ANOTHER DAY!!

I don't know, maybe this is idealistic of me but I think you shouldn't excuse someone's douchey behaviour just because he/she is successful. An ass is an ass, and by tolerating that behaviour, you're validating it.

He wanted to quit the business? I thought he did that in about 2002.

Kiefer Sutherland's rep responds to Freddie Prinze Jr.'s complaints about actor | Fox News
“Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze, Jr.more than five years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie‘s grievances,” Sutherland's rep said Monday afternoon. “Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best.”

Sutherland also had nothing but kind words for Prinze in 2009.

"We have some great actors joining us — Mykelti Williamson is the head of CTU, Freddie Prinze Jr. is playing my partner," Sutherland said in an interview with Parade of season 8. "So, it's this great balance between something that’s new and what fans will find familiar."

Prinze, best know for his roles in the 1990's hits "She's All That" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," has guest starred on several television series since his "24" days.

Most recently, he plays the voice of Kanan Jarrus on "Star Wars Rebels."

Freddie Prinze, Jr. turns out to be a big crybaby? Who didn't see that coming?

**BeantownBitch** · July 29th, 2014, 02:09 AM

Meh, he isn't a crybaby. Just telling it like it is. More of them should do that instead of hiding who they really are. lol

Keifer owned the fucking lost boys though....oh yeah. He Did. Their dads were more famous than they are.

i know. i want to like sarah michelle gellar but the fact that she's been happily married to this little bitch with a horrible nose job for years makes me suspect she too might be an asshole.

I've found that sometimes you gotta be a douche or an ass to be successful. That's my company's motto anyway!

Well played KS. Perfect answer.

I was at a Buffy panel a few years ago and Nicky Brendan and a number of other cast members and they said unanimously that she was a raging bastard to work with.

**gas_chick** · July 29th, 2014, 10:13 AM

But then lots of them sing her praises too. Anthony Head being one of them.

Kiefer Sutherland is no bed or roses, and rumors have been that he put the cast through a lot at times. I remember reading that at one point he came in and made a big apology to the whole crew for how he had behaved. Not sure what the issue was, though, but since he has had 4 DUIs since 1989, I think we can all put 2 and 4 together.....
