Kiefer Sutherland says he’s open to returning as Jack Bauer for more ’24’

Kiefer Sutherland has admitted that he’s open to the idea of returning for more episodes of 24.

The star played Jack Bauer for nine seasons before the show wrapped up in 2014.

He previously said he wouldn’t rule out reprising the role in 2016 and now Sutherland’s admitted again he is open to the idea.

“I’ve always left the door slightly ajar for 24 if someone comes up with a great idea,” the actor told Forbes.

“As an actor, 24 remains one of the most dynamic experiences I’ve ever had. Where a character was allowed to have such highs and lows in such a fast period of time is a gift.

“There are very few setups that will allow you to do that, and I find that incredibly fun, challenging, and exciting. There’s been nine seasons, and I think it rests in a credible place. The difficulty is you don’t ever want to do anything that is going to damage that.”

Sutherland also said he wouldn’t mind what form the show would take, whether it returned as a series or a movie.

“I’ve been banging my head against a brick wall for a movie for so long that I’ve got a concussion,” he said. “Honestly, the form more 24 would take doesn’t matter to me as much as the quality of the story.

“If someone comes up with a great story that can be told in two hours, then we’re going to make a movie, but if someone comes up with a great story that could be 24 hours, we’ll do the show.”

Will Jack be forced to apologize for being a white man every episode?

Not after he has an affair with a tranny of color he won't.

That’s the exact same time we quit watching also! It seemed like a good show until the PC crap started, we left.

Those were classics. Great fun and frivolity. And the goats -- hilarious.

Well with a title like “Disgusted Survivor”, I wouldn’t have had high expectations anyway.

24 drove me nuts because it seemed like everyone in his office was a petty idiot. Terrorists set off a nuke and his support team has members being suspended for stealing office supplies or such and bickering over the smallest crap. I've never seen a civil service disciplinary procedure take less than months to implement, but somehow they are able to fire, rehire and fire again in 24 hours.

Tonight on “Agents of Globalism” Jack Bauer and a bunch of other misguided utopians push right past obvious bad guys in plain sight to corner right wing extremists in rural Arkansas and neutralize the Nazi threat to freedom, which pleased their Chicom masters greatly.

Stay tuned for all new “Continuous Mindless Gunplay” where ambiguous agents of some unknown power shoot off guns for about fifty five minutes killing a lot of people who were up to no good, apparently. There will of course be a car chase where several vehicles tumble through the streets of a big city horrifying onlookers. The ambiguous agents will not even be hurt by the nearly total destruction of their SUV, and will crawl out with guns blazing. Ads for female beauty products will provide a jarring juxtaposition.
