Imagine getting 24 episodes in a season these days.

Was never a huge fan, I think it was the material that drove the show , not the actor,

That’s what the pros call typecast, Kiefer. In other words, suffering from success.

Dude is a complete dick, that could also be a reason.

“Torture good” isn’t a great concept to be associated with dummy

I think there are a lot of factors here:
-24 was the perfect role for him at the exact right time, and there was nothing else like it.
-He has a reputation for being a bit difficult which I’m sure hasn’t helped.
-I don’t think he a great actor (this one is just my personal opinion). Always solid, but he’s never blown me away with a performance.
Honestly, Kiefer’s best quality is his voice. He was really good in ‘Phone Booth’ and it’s a completely forgotten performance.

Ngl I think he’s being a bit weird saying this. He had atleast two shows on major networks (Touch and Designated Survivor) which he is the clear lead. Maybe he never cracked the A list but he was a relatively popular choice to lead shows in the 2010s those shows just didn’t hit the levels of popularity of 24

They weren’t exactly pouring in after Young Guns, either…
“Do TV. No one will ever take you seriously again. Doesn’t matter how big a movie star you are, even if you have the kind of career where you walked away from a blockbuster franchise or worked with Meryl Streep or Anthony Hopkins, made important movies about things like civil rights or Pearl Harbor, stole films with supporting roles and then turned around and blew them away on Broadway. None of that will matter once you do television.”

Surprised by the negative comments about the guy, but what do I know. Aside from the stuff he’s known for I really enjoyed that documentary he did a while back, „I Trust You To Kill Me“ which I see has been reuploaded to YT. Came across as a really gracious guy with fans. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqMCkl_wxq8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqMCkl_wxq8)
Good comment this, though „*24* made 24 episodes a year, and that takes three years for a modern show to do. And it’s the difference between having a serious relationship or an affair“. He’s right.
