The actor played renegade anti-terrorist agent Jack Bauer in nine seasons of the hit thriller series, also appearing in the 2008 film 24: Redemption. “I’ve always left the door slightly ajar for 24 if someone comes up with a great idea,” he said. The difficulty is you don’t ever want to do anything that is going to damage that.” Sutherland also said he had been “banging my head against a brick wall for a movie for so long that I’ve got a concussion”, but said that he would be open to a 24 revival in any format, as long as the story was good. “If someone comes up with a great story that can be told in two hours, then we’re going to make a movie, but if someone comes up with a great story that could be 24 hours, we’ll do the show.” In 24, the story unfolded in real time, with each season covering a full 24 hours in the life of Jack Bauer.
