HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kiefer Sutherland is returning to television.
The 44-year-old actor will star in the Fox drama pilot Touch, in which he plays a man who discovers his autistic son can predict the future, TV Guide reports.
Sutherland's interest in the pilot first surfaced last week, but his role in Broadway's That Championship Season looked like a potential stumbling block. However, insiders tell TV Guide that Fox and producer 20th Century Fox TV have agreed to work around Sutherland's Broadway commitment should Touch get picked up.
The casting news comes just a year after Sutherland ended his 8-year run as Jack Bauer on Fox's 24.
