Freddie Prinze Jr. had such an awful experience acting opposite Kiefer Sutherland in 24 that he "wanted to quit the business," he said.

The actor explained to ABC News that working with Sutherland was "terrible."

"I did 24, and it was terrible. I hated every moment of it," Prinze said. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash. I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that."

Dammit, Jack Bauer is not going to be happy about this.

[Steely Tom]

Gee, I’ve always heard that badmouthing established Hollywood name personalities is a really bad idea.

[bigbob]

Sutherland is an actor, I like watching “24”, and who cares what this guy thinks? Don’t like him, don’t work with him, simple as pie.

[bandleader]

“Ees Not My Job,Man”!!!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

And maybe Freddie Prinze Jr. is just a whiny little butthole - you know, I would be more inclined to believe that.

[McGruff]

Did he Unfriend Keifer?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

One of the very few shows our family likes to watch. We rented the movie to see this evening.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Sutherland is a socialist by his own admission. Given that, I think the criticism of him is probably accurate.

[Drew68]

Did I miss something or does Prinze Jr and/or the article provide absolutely no examples of Kiefer Sutherland’s unprofessional behavior?

[Williams]

Who knows but it sounds like Kiefer is “difficult”. Probably not as difficult as Jack Bauer.

Let's see? Who has the greater paycheck? More successful series? Has more people working for him? Has more producer juice? Has the bigger audience?

I think the answer to all the questions is Kiefer Sutherland.

Who's throwing the temper tantrum?

[Valpal1]

They made him work barefoot because Sutherland is 8 inches shorter than he is.

[Squantos]

Yob ...... Not job .....yob !.....:o)

[Patriot Babe]

Exactly and Keifer is no different than his daddy Donald who I believe was also difficult to work with. As for Freddie Prinze I believe he support our troops and so does his wife Michelle.

[Veggie Todd]

Jack Bauer sleeps with a night light because the dark is afraid of Jack Bauer.

[skeeter]

OF course publicly criticizing the producer of the show you once briefly worked on years ago is the most professional behavior imaginable.

You're a real wheenie, Jr.

[Steely Tom]

I thought it was “Ees no my yob, meng.”

[Veggie Todd]

Exactly and Keifer is no different than his daddy Donald who I believe was also difficult to work with.

Yeah, but Daddy got to be in a movie that had a character named Spearchucker.

[warpsmith]

Let's see? Who has the greater paycheck? More successful series? Has more people working for him? Has more producer juice? Has the bigger audience?

Yeah, but who's married to Buffy?

[longfellow]

And he got punched out for trying to kiss a guy in a bar.

Before 24.
