It Turns Out That The Only Thing That Can Stop Jack Bauer Is a Ruptured Cyst

National treasure Kiefer Sutherland is dealing with some unfortunate health issues that are temporarily halting production on his show 24. KiefKief suffered from a ruptured cyst earlier this week and the problem is so painful that he wont be able to continue working until he’s given it proper medical treatment. From E! News:

“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 tells the Los Angeles Times. “He looks forward to returning to work next week.”

Likewise, Fox fully supports its action-star telling the publication: “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.”

Wow. Let’s mobilize the prayer circle, folks.

  • He IS a Canadian national treasure. His dad is in all of our Olympic ads and carried the Olympic flag. He grandfather also created nationalized health care in Canada. The whole family are treasures….just for a different country that you were implying.

    • I quit watching the show the first season when I realized his cell phone batteries never died and always had a signal. Did the black guy ever become president? If so, did he suck as much as the real one.
