Kiefer Sutherland’s love for television
By ANIWednesday, March 31, 2010
LONDON - Kiefer Sutherland has said that he has no plans to return to films now that his hit show ‘24′ is coming to an end.
Sutherland, who portrays anti-terror agent Jack Bauer in the hit thriller, revealed, is keeping his fingers crossed to land another role in TV series, as films no longer inspire him.
“I grew up on films such as ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’, ‘Urban Cowboy’, ‘Terms Of Endearment ‘and ‘Ordinary People’, but they don’t make those movies anymore. Drama got picked up by television,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
“TV is really the home of the drama. When you look at everything from ‘The West Wing’ to ‘The Wire’, ‘ER’ to ‘The Sopranos’, there’s amazing television out there.
“That’s why you’re seeing a huge influx of very successful actors looking at television for work,” he added..
However, the actor will make an exception for a blockbuster version of 24 that is set to start shooting next year. (ANI)
