Looks like FOX reboot of “24” will be missing one of their most important characters.
“24 is definitely over now for me,” Kiefer told the BBC while promoting his upcoming western Forsaken. “It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given as an actor, but it’s moving on without me, I want to do other things.”
“I want to do more television,” he said. “My experience of 24 was unbelievable, but the main benefit was that it was nice to do something that people actually watched, and that they enjoyed. There are some movies I’ve made people might have enjoyed, but there were nine of them watching. And so 24 was so refreshing – the most significant thing was that it was accessible to a lot of people and to know they enjoyed it was so rewarding for me. I don’t think there’s a better medium than television out there at the moment. So think I want to do more of it and look for projects where I can repeat my experience.”
It looks like TV is becoming home for a lot of our favorite movie stars. TV brings in more money, reaches longer audience and it brings longevity, something the big screen can’t promise you.
