Kiefer In Surgery: Filming Of 24 Is PAUSED

    Production of the hit US television series 24 has been halted after Kiefer Sutherland suffered a ruptured cyst during filming in New York.

    The star and executive director of the action show, who plays counter-terror agent Jack Bauer, will undergo minor surgery for the injury before returning to work next week.

    His representative said: "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.
    A statement from 20th Century Fox said Sutherland was undergoing a "medical procedure".
    "We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season's episodes," it said.
    24's series eight is currently airing on Sky1 and Sky1 HD.
    At the premier in New York last month, he said: "There are certain things that are going to happen in 24 and one of them is Jack's going to have a bad day."
    In the series, Bauer is forced out of retirement to save the life of the president of Kamistan, who is in America holding peace talks with the US commander in chief.

    Update: Wednesday February 24 2010

    Kiefer Sutherland has recovered from his surgery and has been given the all-clear by doctors to return to work as Jack Bauer.
    Filming of the latest series of 24 was halted two weeks ago after the actor suffered a ruptured cyst while shooting in New York, and elected to undergo surgery.

    Fox spokesman Chris Alexander said: "Kiefer's been cleared to return to work and we resume production March 1."
    The studio says no disruption is expected in the airing schedule and filming is due to wrap-up in May.
    Kiefer, 43, had an outpatient procedure on February 16 to treat the minor injury, so he could continue saving the world as special agent Jack Bauer, and filming was postponed by 20th Century Fox Studios until he recovered.
