Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) - Fox has to temporarily halt the production on their action drama "24" to give star Kiefer Sutherland time to undergo minor surgery on a ruptured cyst near his kidney. He is expected to return to work next week.
The 43-year-old actor's cyst ruptured while he was shooting earlier in the week, but production continued until Friday without him.
His publicist said in a statement to L.A. Times, "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 next week."
20th Century Fox also issued a statement, saying they hope to resume production shortly and they don't expect any disruption in the broadcast of the show.
"24" is currently in its eighth season.
