Kiefer Sutherland doesn’t think Jack Bauer’s story is done yet – and apparently, he’s not yet done with the 24 TV series if it’s not done with him! Sutherland recently did an interview in which he was asked about his time playing the now-iconic special agent Jack Bauer of the Counter-Terrorist Unit. Sutherland made it clear that he still considers 24 to be a highlight of his career – and is still perfect to return to the franchise if called. Hearing Sutherland’s support is no doubt a big signal flare to 24 die-hards who are always looking for a new opportunity to bring the series back (again).
I miss it. It was an incredible experience. I have learned that you’re just better off not to be definitive about your answer of whether you will do something or not do something. I love playing that character. I do believe the story is unresolved. If something were to be written that made sense to me and that I thought was going to contribute to the franchise then I would be behind it, even if my participation in that were to be limited.
My involvement will always be predicated on what I perceive is the quality of the writing. If [original showrunner] Howard Gordon is motivated to do it, we’ll see what happens.
