'24' hours ticks down final season

"On a personal level, working with this cast and crew and writers, these will be friends of mine for the rest of my life," added Sutherland whose portrayal of the unstable Bauer in "24" also won him a Golden Globe in 2002 and made him one of the best paid television actors in the country.
"24" has been running since 2001 topping viewership ratings consistently, part of its attraction being its innovative "real time" format, with each of the season's 24 chapters representing one hour of actual action.
The son of also famous Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland, Kiefer Sutherland was born in Britain and began his acting career alongside his dad in 1983.
