Kiefer Sutherland

Production of Fox show ’24′ is in stand-by for the moment as star Kiefer Sutherland undergoes elective surgery. According to People the actor had to deal with a ruptured cyst near one of his kidneys.

But as the medical problem doesn‘t seem to be very serious, the disruption to ’24′ is expected to be brief. “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”, Fox said in a statement.
Sutherland’s representative also made a comment on the actor’s situation: “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. He looks forward to returning to work (this) week”.
