Sutherland insists Jack Bauer should die

Kiefer Sutherland, who plays the lead Jack Bauer in 24, has said that he thinks the character should die.

The show has achieved massive success since its launch in 2001, but Sutherland says that he is more than willing to kill his character off if it would mean a good ending to the show.

He says: "I'll be happy to die. In fact, it's important to the show that Jack eventually dies. And that he does so when you least expect it.

"I've always said that if there comes a point in the show where to kill Jack is what serves the show best, then so be it, and I think every actor who has been in the show feels the same way about their role."
