Freddie said his experience with Kiefer made him want to quit show business...
Freddie Prinze Jr. says he came close to quitting acting—and it was all Kiefer Sutherland's fault. In a new interview with ABC News, Freddie, who took a two-year break from show business after making several appearances on the TV show 24, revealed that working with the show's star, Kiefer Sutherland, was such a miserable experience that it made him reevaluate his career choice.
"It was terrible. I hated every moment of it," Freddie said of working with Kiefer. "I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped [acting]."

Freddie, who starred on 24 episodes of the show in 2010, went on to reveal that Kiefer was hard to work with on set.
"Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world," he said. "That's not me talking trash; I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that."
The over 6 feet tall actor says that Kiefer, who stands about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, would often make him do things to make it appear that the actors were the same height. Freddie claimed that he would have to take his shoes off when he worked with Kiefer.
"Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time," Freddie said. "You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4."

This is not the first time Kiefer has been accused of being difficult to work with by another actor. In 2013, Shohreh Aghdashloo, who played a female terrorist on 24, admitted that she often clashed with Kiefer.
"I'm afraid working with him proved to be hard. That young man was pretty angry," she said during an interview."At the end of the day, I thought he was angry with himself."
