10.08 | Actor screws up his chances of a part on '24'

Michael Clarke Duncan, of 'Sin City', 'Talladega Nights' and 'Brother Bear' 'fame', acted like a big douche in front of Kiefer Sutherland.

I'll quote the whole story, because it's funny:

Duncan was thrilled to get an audition for a part in '24', but he wishes he hadn't called Sutherland by his character's name, Jack Bauer.

He tells US chat show host Megan Mullally, "I had a meeting over there some months ago. And I said, 'I'm going to be real cool, drive my Hummer over there and be like this.'

"And I see Jack Bauer running to a van, and his name's not Jack Bauer, it's Kiefer Sutherland.

"So I get all crazed and I lost it and run over to him and say, 'Hey Jack! You were in the bottom of that ship. I voted for you at the Screen Actors Guild Awards...' And I thought, 'What are you doing? Be cool. You might get on this show.'

"I became this dribbling, big black fool and he was like, 'OK, I hope we work together.' Never heard from them since."
