Freddie Prinze Jr. nearly quit acting after working with “unprofessional” Kiefer Sutherland on 24.
The 38-year-old actor starred alongside Sutherland, famous for his role as Jack Bauer in the hit TV show, back in 2010.
But after appearing in the eighth series as Counter Terrorism Unit Director Cole Ortiz, Prinze Jr. was left stunned by Sutherland’s attitude on set.
“I did 24, it was terrible. I hated every moment of it,” Prinze Jr. 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.”
Speaking while promoting his new series Star Wars Rebels at the Comic-Con event this weekend, Freddie also revealed the experience had been so traumatic that it nearly caused him to seek a new career entirely.
“I just wanted to quit the business after that,” he said. “So, I just sort of stopped.”
However, it didn’t take Prinze Jr. long to get back in the saddle and he has since starred in programmes such as Psych and Witches of East End.
