17. Kiefer Sutherland's Bad Reputation With His Co-Stars

Kiefer Sutherland certainly has a bad boy reputation as far as his drinking habits and general lifestyle go, but he's also bristled with a few of his 24 co-stars over the years. Freddie Prinze Jr, who played Cole Ortiz in the show's eighth season, said of Sutherland, " was the most unprofessional dude in the world...That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that." He elaborated that the producers also made him take off his shoes when sharing scenes with Sutherland so that he didn't look noticeably taller than him. The actor also said he almost quit acting due to his experience on the show. Also, Oscar-nominated actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, who played Dina Araz in the fourth season, said that due to Sutherland clashing with the actress, she was killed off far sooner than she was supposed to be. She said, "I€™m afraid working with him proved to be hard. That young man was pretty angry...At the end of the day, I thought he was angry with himself."
