Kiefer Sutherland to return to work on 24
24/02/2010 - 11:18
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.
24's eighth season premiered on Sky1 and Sky1 HD this January.
