'24's' Kiefer Sutherland is cleared to return to work

February 23, 2010 | 11:29 am

20th Century Fox Television has told Show Tracker that "24" will resume production on March 1, now that its star and executive producer, Kiefer Sutherland, has been cleared by his doctors to return to work.

Sutherland underwent outpatient surgery on Feb. 16 after a cyst near his kidney ruptured a few days earlier.

Sutherland's representatives could not be immediately reached for comment.

But Jack Bauer is OK, America. You were never that worried about him, though, were you?
