 Freddie Prinze Jr. almost quit acting after sharing screen space with Kiefer Sutherland in the hit TV drama "24".

"Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that," said Prinze Jr. to abcnews.com. "I did '24,' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it."

After working with Kiefer Sutherland, Freddie almost dropped off the acting circuit. He ventured into other projects a little later.

Freddie was at San Diego Comic-Con for the promotion of his new Disney XD series "Star Wars Rebels" but dropped the plan of staring movie and ventured into other project.

"I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE for Christ's sake and it was a crazier job than working with Kiefer, but atleast he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4." Said Freddie to ABC news.

Kiefer Sutherland was also at Comic-Con promoting "24: Live Another Day".

If the actors came face to face at t he venue is not yet clear, but Sutherland's previous accounts of working with the "She's All That" star (Prinze Jr.) were nothing but positive.

Freddie, 38, and now a father,  was a popular movie star during late the 1990's and gave many hits like She's All That" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

Recently, Prinze Jr.made an appearance on "Bones".
