There was a time when Kiefer Sutherland dominated TV as Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer, who spends most of his days saving the world from major terrorist attacks.
The Fox TV series '24' boasted on eight amazing seasons, a TV movie as well as a spin-off series, and despite the show's hiatus, fans are still clamoring for more Jack Bauer.
But will Kiefer Sutherland want to keep doing '24' Season Nine?
"'24' is definitely over now for me," Sutherland told BBC. "It's one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given as an actor, but it's moving on without me. I want to do other things."

This doesn't mean you won't see Kiefer Sutherland back on the small screen again.
"I want to do more television," Sutherland said. "My experience of '24' was unbelievable, but the main benefit was that it was nice to do something that people actually watched, and that they enjoyed.
"There are some movies I've made people might have enjoyed, but there were nine of them watching. And so '24' was so refreshing - the most significant thing was that it was accessible to a lot of people and to know they enjoyed it was so rewarding for me."
Kiefer Sutherland also explained that he is taking his time finding the right TV project.
"I don't think there's a better medium than television out there at the moment," he said. "So think I want to do more of it and look for projects where I can repeat my experience. You have to take your time though to find something l
ike it - and that means you have to work less. So I'll be waiting for something that's worth it, with the potential for the kind of audience access that '24' had."
The 48-year-old actor's most recent project is the Western drama 'Forsaken,' which also stars his father Donald Sutherland. The film debuted at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival last September.
