06.30 | POW film taught Sutherland a lesson in WWII’s grim history

From an interview with Kiefer Sutherland about his newly-released movie 'To End All Wars':

"We had just finished the pilot for '24' when I went to work on the movie," Sutherland said.

By the time filming was complete, Sutherland found out that '24' had been picked up. So he went right to work on the TV series that was unlike anything else on the air.

The entire season represents one day in the life of Jack Bauer, with each episode representing one hour of that day. It moves at a near-breathless pace.

"I'm not sure I ever thought we would now be doing a fourth season," Sutherland said. "I think we were all amazed at the reaction to the series. There were and still are some phenomenal shows out there like 'The West Wing', 'Law and Order' and several others."

Working on '24' can be exhausting, Sutherland said. "But everyone involved is so committed to the show and maintaining the suspense and pace."

Away from '24', Sutherland also maintains a similar pace. Since the series premiered, he has appeared in six movies and has two more in the works.

"If I didn’t enjoy this (pace), I wouldn't be doing it," Sutherland said.
