Yvonne Strahovski praises Kiefer, says 24 “surprisingly collaborative”

Yvonne Strahovski was interviewed at Studio 10 in Australia to promote the upcoming 24: Live Another Day DVD release. Check out what she had to say!

Working alongside Kiefer Sutherland:
“It was really good, I found it to be surprisingly collaborative. I had thought being on such a well oiled show that had been on for eight years, it’d be kind of rigid. But it wasn’t, it was really collaborative and Kiefer was great to work with. The most admirable thing for me to watch was that he wasn’t only invested as an actor. He’s so good at that role [being Jack Bauer], but he’s also very much invested as an executive producer of the show and really looks at it as an overall project.”

Physical demands of 24:
“It’s a little tough, but it’s not anything I’m not used to. I’ve done jobs now where I’ve been involved in a lot of stunt work so I kind of fell into it. There was one more demanding scene, the torture scene where I was strung up on a rope and chain. I was a little sore after that.”

Being exhausted filming 24:
“It is, I would say filming it is very similar to the experience of watching it. Especially when we’re working with Jon Cassar, he’s one of the directors that’s been with the show for a very long time. He keeps the [quick] pace going and it’s great for us as actors because it really feeds the energy that we need to have in these scenes.”
