Kiefer Sutherland continues his overseas tour to promote Touch where he is pictured here in Berlin, Germany having a smoke break and arriving at SAT.1 TV's studios.
Did you know that Kiefer turned down the Robin role in the Batman movie by Tim Burton? Does this mean we missed out on an opportunity to see him in TIGHTS? Imagine the possibilities? DigitalSpy is reporting him as saying:
"I was like, 'As in Robin with tights? No!' I didn't realize they were going to make the coolest movie ever! They didn't have a Robin in the end, but I was only 19 so my agent could have helped me out a bit on that one."
And thankfully Touch came along because he was about to quit TV altogether. He tells the Britain's Sun:
"The last thing I had in my mind to do was another television show. I had my freedom back. I was doing a play on Broadway, I was going off to do a film in India – these were all small, personal projects I wanted to do during the nine years doing 24.
"But a friend I used to work with came to see me and said, 'You have to read this script, it's a TV show called Touch'. I said, 'I don't even want to think about that right now' but when I heard who was behind it I knew I had to read it out of respect.
"I was around page 32 and I thought, 'Oh s**t'. Then I thought, 'There are 40 more pages, maybe it'll go bad' but it got better. And the 'Oh s**t' was because I knew this was something I wasn't going to be able to sit back and watch and not be involved in."
Now if only someone could write him a role that he can't turn down and he just happens to be wearing tights or a Speedo all the way through? A girl can dream, right?
UPDATE: I've added some extra pictures of Kiefer touring the remains of the Berlin Wall (East Side).
