^ I know at least once they had to shut down production while he did jail time.

Which is pretty unprofessional, because he is in practically every scene of the show, and it would be hard to shoot around him. Don't get me wrong - I love Kiefer Sutherland, but sheesh......

From what I remember his jail sentence coincided with the writers' strike and production was not interrupted because of him doing jail time.

ETA: Found an article that confirms it. '24' star Kiefer Sutherland begins 48-day jail sentence | Mail Online

Love this drunken fool, but Julia Roberts dumped his ass because he was fucking a stripper. He deserved what she did to him.

But she's Julia Roberts. She deserved him fucking a stripper.

^^^Haahhahhhhaaa

Anyway - I would take KS's response more seriously if I could believe he had any memory of even working on 24. Seems like he was blacked out for that period of life.

That's a good point. The only one who doesn't have an excuse is that home-wrecking, Gus-stealing, trampire floozy, Jason Patric!

he's getting his now with the whole crazy surrogate thing. and the fact that his hair receded and with it went his looks

Those follicles are going to regret abandoning Patric when they see the court order he just filed.

I've heard this too. I remember reading somewhere while it was on air how it was ironic that SMG played "nice" Buffy and Charisma Carpenter played the bitch, because CC was really friendly with everyone and SMG... wasn't.

True. I never bought into SMG being the raging bitch she was made out to be. If anything, I think she was probably just a bit uptight and serious, thus the reason she was closer with the older cast members like Head. The rest of the cast seemed like goofballs and she doesn't strike me as having the same humor. She seems perfectly nice. Just not... Silly, I guess is the right word. I've heard the same about MW when she was on Dawson's Creek, except she was friends with her castmates.

This is the first time I've ever read anything that gives a glimpse into Freddie's personality. Kind of surprised he isn't all bumbling and apologetic. I had him pegged all wrong.

I wish more people would come out in support of FPJr because it seems like he's telling the truth (I don't know either of them ofcourse, just saying)

**JerriBlank** · July 29th, 2014, 04:28 PM

i remember when he got his job at wwe and was then promptly fired for leaking storylines, err i mean due to his 'demanding schedule'

I get that, but there's a difference between being ruthless and ambitious, i.e. a bit of an ass in professional matters, and being an ass in personal interactions and treating those you work with disrespectfully.

Freddie is pretty much a talentless joke. Things like this is probably why Sarah only lets him out of the house like once every 8 months. I remember him once talking about the struggles of being a Puerto Rican actor. LOL If he never had good looks, he would probably be living in a double wide back in New Mexico.
