Sutherland Broke Down After 24 Final Scene
By WENNMonday, May 24, 2010
KIEFER SUTHERLAND lost his famous cool as he attempted to thank the crew of 24 for all their hard work over the past decade after his last scene on the show - because the ending came sooner than expected.
The actor reveals he had a special speech prepared but was forced to recall it earlier than he’d planned - because he fooled himself into thinking he had an extra scene to shoot.
The Flatliners star says, “It caught me off guard. I thought we actually, literally, had one more shot to do and they said, ‘That’s a wrap on Kiefer Sutherland and it’s a series wrap.’
“I had something in my head that I wanted to say to the crew because this was the most amazing group of people… and I unfortunately, as I was going to speak, locked eyes with our head gaffer… and, literally, my voice faltered… and my lip went.
“I start looking to my shoes… It was hard to let it go.”
