Freddie Prinze Jr. really didn't think his 24 co star Kiefer Sutherland was all that.
Prinze the former staple of high school movies spoke up about Sutherland while promoting his latest show Star Wars Rebels at Comic Con in San Diego over the weekend. He actually bashed the Fox star whom he appeared alongside in 2010 according to ABC News' Jason Nathanson.
I did '24.' It was terrible. I hated every moment of it the 38 year old said apparently unsolicited. Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash. I'd say it to his face. I think everybody that's worked with him has said that.
And I just wanted to quit the business after that. So I just sort of stopped.
Sutherland's response Monday came in the form of a statement from his rep.
Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze Jr. more than five years ago and this is the first he has heard of Freddie s grievances publicist Annet Wolf said via email. Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best.

The actor who is married to Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Sarah Michelle Gellar elaborated saying that he went on to work for WWE promoter and chief executive Vince McMahon and even though it was a crazier job it was better than working with Sutherland 47.
Prinze's first work with WWE actually appears to have been in 2008 and according to IMDb he also played himself in a 2010 episode of WWF Raw now known as Monday Night Raw.
At least McMahon was cool and tall Prinze said. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him which '24' made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5 foot 4. What do you want me to do
Sutherland is actually more like 5 foot 9 officially though apparently that still wasn't quite enough.
