'24' Filming Halted, Kiefer Sick

In his role on "24" Keifer Sutherland is invincible, but in real life he is apparently quite vincible, as production of his smash hit TV show has been halted, as they cannot keep filming until he recovers from surgery for a ruptured cyst.

A ruptured cyst happens commonly for women when it is an ovarian cyst, but can happen to men as well. Kiefer's ruptured cyst occured near his kidney and needed immediate attention.

Here's wishing him the quickest of recoveries!
