Kiefer almost deaf due to action roles
24 actor Kiefer Sutherland has admitted that his TV and movie roles as action men have come at a cost.

Sutherland has revealed that he is "pretty much deaf in one ear, and half deaf in the other" after playing so many roles involving gun-shots and explosions.

He explained, "I can't wear ear plugs because often you have dialogue after, so you need to hear the other actor."

The fourth season of 24 hits screens in the UK on January 30 on Sky One.
