hi camper how are you I'm good how are

you I'm good good thanks are you happy

and healthy because you were supposed to

be here uh not too long ago when you had

surgery right I did yeah what happened

what was wrong uh I had an adrenal cyst

on my uh on my abdominal wall which uh I

didn't realize about 75 of us have cysts

in our bodies and I was doing a scene on

24 where I picked up a dead body

and the weight of that combined with

apparently my age uh ruptured ruptured

the cyst and it started to bleed into my

abdomen where there's no room for

anything else that's unless it's

supposed to be there so they had to take

it out that sounds emergency like that

sounds like they've got you rushed it

all took place pretty quick yeah wow

yeah well I'm glad you're okay yeah I

know they did a phenomenal job and I was

back at work uh six or seven days later

wow so yeah that's you work hard

you work real hard well I did yeah I'm

out of a job now well uh not for long

I'm sure if you don't want to be so

eight seasons right is that how long 24

was on took about nine years there was a

gap between the pilot and the completion

of the first season and then we had the

writer strike in our seventh year so it

was about nine years of working with the

same crew but we finished eight seasons

yeah and and that must be I can't

imagine all of a sudden to have that

that's a long time in your life to all

this you're done right yeah it's it's um

I mean I I have I'm very I'm looking

forward to doing the film and so I'm not

letting go of the character yet so

that's that's a great kind of relief for

me and when

we will do it uh hopefully sometime next

year but what caught me off guard uh

because we had known you know certainly

for about six months Howard Gordon and I

had had realized that we felt that this

season was really strong and we didn't

want to risk uh doing a ninth season if

it wasn't going to be as strong and we

both felt that this was time to kind of

move into the movie area and so we'd

known for quite a while but we've been

working with the same people for nine

years

125 people on the set with me uh and I

think we've had

16 marriages on our show I think 30 some

odd children have been born and so as

trite as it sometimes sounds a real

family was developed sure and uh and

I'll never forget uh when we finish that

very last scene in the very last shot I

went to say something and I'm feeling it

now I want to say something to the crew

and and I just wanted to tell them what

an honor it was uh to have been able to

do this with them

and I set honor and I caught the eye of

uh of our key gaffer

um

and my lips started to go and my voice

went and I had to look kind of down at

the floor and it's it's it's only been

uh I think we finished about 10 days ago

and so it was it was much more moving

for me than I thought and uh yeah it's

it's it was tricky to let that go

because I really enjoyed it well that's

well that's beautiful that you

know

a lot of time here yeah so well I don't

but other people do but uh

and you have I understand you have

interesting fans that you meet that you

you meet a lot of people that kind of uh

We've we've had amazing fans and and and

I and I have I think quite a few kind of

interesting fan Stories the most kind of

humiliated or humiliating kind of moment

I go through is when I actually meet

someone who actually does what I pretend

to do on the television show for Real uh

because we're clearly aware that we're

making a television show heightened

reality uh and never want to have it be

confused with the incredible work and

the very dangerous work uh that the

people that are out there in the world

that are doing this for a living uh and

I was actually it was somewhere around

the second season I was skiing and I had

on a toque goggles a scarf and I

couldn't believe it but I'm on the

chairlift it's like nine in the morning

and this guy leans over and says I

really like your show and I can't

believe that he recognized me right

I have no idea what he was looking at

that gave it away but maybe my name

written on my skis or something maybe

that but um uh and he went on to tell me

that he was a CIA operative he had just

gotten back from Afghanistan and at that

point I become you know I've become

quite calstring and say you know I hope

the show doesn't offend you and done and

and he went on to tell me no that he

really liked the show but when we got to

the top of the mountain he wanted me to

call his mom and explain to him why he

can't get things done in 24 hours

so that's hilarious so we did that

we have to we have to take a break uh

but we have to talk about uh I think

you're you're dating someone and maybe

you want to give her Jewels I don't know

but uh we'll talk about that after the

break Sutherland the unemployed actor

keeper Sutherland that's right just for

a few days enjoy this this is quiet time

for you because I'm sure it's not going

to last for long so no it's it's just

been an adjustment yeah and now you get

to spend more time with your uh lovely

girlfriend and her name is what I'm

sorry Siobhan Siobhan and uh and you've

been together two years uh we've been

together a while and so you must uh well

you must treat her like a queen

uh I I hope that I do yeah yeah because

you want to give you know you want to

treat you know the one you love

to beautiful bobbles and things you ever

get her jewelry or do you ever get her

anything
